Previous study debunked higher minimum wage now supports it

Yes, a prior study by the same authors debunking its benefits now reverse course. The Repugs used the prior study to support their agenda, but will they now us this one? Seriously?  An excerpt:

"But a new paper by the same authors (Sci-Hub mirror) shows that the rising minimum wage generated major increases for the workers who had the most hours, whose hours were only cut a little, but still came out ahead thanks to the wage increase; workers with fewer hours saw no financial harm from the rising minimum wage, working fewer hours and bringing home the same sum; and they found some harm to people who had the smallest number of hours) (which may actually reflect stronger demand for workers and fewer workers in this category of very-low-hour work)."
