I thought the summary was pretty good. The objections you're presenting here are nitpicky, the NYT article is just one of the links provided and the thrust of the article that ideologically motivated opposition to minimum wage hikes was proven to be incorrect, and that is right.

It's not nitpicky to say that

1. the second study claimed a significant negative impact, when the Bloomberg article omits that

2. the first study did not contradict economic orthodoxy, when the Bloomberg article claimed it did

The first is an essential claim of the article. The second is also likely to mislead.

Looks like a lotta people here are too ideologically entrenched in supporting wage increases to listen to reason...
