The minimum wage went up in San Jose a year ago: The unemployment rate dropped in the San Jose metro area from 7.6 percent in February, 2013 to 5.8 percent in December, the last month available. Part of the reason for this almost two-point drop in unemployment is that the 40,000 minimum wage workers in San Jose have pumped more than $100 million into the local economy this past year, stimulating the economic growth of Silicon Valley. Never listen to conservatives on economics. They are wrong, wrong, wrong. mercurynews/opinion/ci_25315215/san-jose-minimum-wage-year-old-success-story
