from what i can read OSHA was introduced in the 1970s? i'm not talking about that period, but rather about the famous textile factory fire incident and similar stories from the end of 19th - early 20th century. i'm not from the US, and i find it hard to understand data from your country, since every individual state could have already had even stronger regulations in place before this OSHA thing was passed. is that not correct?

as for the study, for the third time now i will repeat - i agree that minimum wage may raise unemployment. as far as i have noticed here, so does this study that Seattle commissioned before introducing the minimum wage. the question is, what is the relationship between the gains and losses?
