'The effect doesn't show up in aggregate workforce data, but that is the wrong place to look.'

Reminds me of this 2013 paper from two Aggies (Jonathan Meer and Jeremy West);

http://econweb.tamu.edu/jmeer/Meer_West_Minimum_Wage.pdf

' For both theoretical and econometric reasons, we argue that the eﬀect of the minimum wage should be more apparent in new employment growth than in employment levels. ....Using three separate state panels of administrative employment data, we ﬁnd that the minimum wage reduces net job growth, primarily through its eﬀect on job creation by expanding establishments. These eﬀects are most pronounced for younger workers and in industries with a higher proportion of low- age workers.'; February 21, 2014 at 10:35:00 AM CST
