Worth noting that California’s regime extends to fast food industry exclusively.
Presumably some of those job losses were absorbed by industries still paying minimum wage - retail, construction, warehousing, etc.
Presumably if those losses were not absorbed by those low-skill sectors, the job loss figure would've been higher.
So I guess, as you said, data is conclusive.
