There is no historical data to back up the assertion that raising the min ages raises the unemployment rate.
Really? So, the LAW of supply and demand doesn't apply to labor?
This study, from Seattle, found that workers in the city had the hours cut (businesses had to tighten the belt). The workers made up for it by getting 2nd jobs, OUTSIDE of Seattle. Yea, that's a REAL success.
And there was a decrease in NEW workers... ie: people at the low end of experience.

I'm fine with local communities, even States doing what they want with wages. I don't believe there should be ANY National minimum. The best way to get rid of it is, exactly what we've done: Ignore it, let it become obsolete as wages rise on their own.
