Prices stable 1 year after Seattle's increased minimum wage

Yet another example that increased minimum wages stabilize what businesses charge for their wares. There was also price stability for rent and gas.

And it actually reduces employer costs due to retaining workforce. You know, makes things a bit fairer, an atrocious sin to regressives.
