So when states have some unique industry like fishing, which runs into unique problems like government limits/empty nets, driving the unemployment rate for that state higher than it's neighbors, that's an effect caused by minimum wage? I don't think so. There are too many factors contributing to the state rate to be saying it's cause and effect.
