How do you deny these studies?

There are just as many studies which suggest the opposite, and an equal amount which sway just a few percent either way for various reasons.
We are entering an era where demeaning jobs like burger flipping are no longer dependent on humans, when companies hear they are going to have to pay 1,000,000 fast food workers 15-40% more they are just going to suck up the cost and accelerate the process of using machines to do the work.

No bias here, I'm sure.
Regardless of whether or not it kills jobs it does lead to an increase in salaries across the board which leads to inflation
All of sudden you have to give raises to the skilled workers making $15/hr because they won't work for the same wages as burger-flipping Bomqueesha
And so on up the ladder it goes
You hire 4 people
Suddenly you have to pay them all more
Option 1 - Just pay them more and cut into your own profits, maybe even make a loss
Either way your business may stagnate and never grow
Option 2 - Fire 1 and tell other 3 to work harder to cover for lost employee, with threats of replacing them if they dont
the same studies that said kasich was the only person mathematically viable to beat clinton? kek
I know not to trust (((studies))) anymore, they lead to the degradation of the minds of society and plant these silly ideas that minimum wage helps the workers.
I want to help the workers - thus I do not advocate for a minimum wage - and anybody who does, is very destructive.
Local economies are different. Let the people decide for themselves.
>raising minimum wage doesn't kill jobs
Cost more to hire, which comes out of the Utility budget, so the place can't afford repairs, and mom and pop shops shut down because they have to pay their spoiled little shit 15 dollars an hour for texting on his phone. Fuck you. You aren't worth 15 dollars an hour and you goddamn know it.
An interesting study on this is looking at Africa
For instance in African mining operations, human labor is used almost exclusively whereas mining done in the West is done almost exclusively by machines
Why is this?
Well the answer is quite simple, it is cheaper to employ African laborers than it is to purchase and maintain machinery
