Hmmm, it's almost like forcing higher wages through state mandates harms more than it helps. How could we ever have predicted this?????
Oh wait...they were told exactly what would happen and did it anyways. Now that they know it's not working, they are still continuing with it.
From the article:
"In 2022, Seattle became one of the first cities in America to pass a minimum wage law for food delivery drivers. The law went into effect in 2024, and the results were nothing short of calamitous. Food orders plunged to unprecedented lows, delivery costs exploded, and driver earnings appeared to crater.
Now, new research on Seattle's delivery driver minimum wage ordinance shows that the law had no long-term effect on driver wages. And yet, Seattle's city council shows no signs of changing course, even with higher consumer costs and zero growth in driver pay."
