They offered several other forms of analysis besides just looking at April - October (for instance comparing each month to the previous year’s month and comparing other states that didn’t change their minimum wage laws.)

As for if it was effective: if the point of the law was to increase the money flowing to fast food workers it managed to increase their wages without decreasing employment, so I think it was pretty clearly a success. Now if that is a worthwhile thing to try to accomplish is completely a matter opinion.
