《纽约时报》在最低工资提高后纠正了对华府餐馆工作的索赔要求,澄清了数据误用问题。 New York Times corrects claim on D.C. restaurant jobs after minimum wage hike, clarifies data misuse.

《纽约时报》发表了2024年3月的一篇文章,声称华盛顿特区的餐馆工人人数在最低工资提高后有所增加,援引了劳工统计局的数据。 The New York Times published a March 2024 article claiming that Washington, D.C.'s restaurant worker numbers increased after a minimum wage hike, citing Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) data. 但是,所使用的数据是国家数字,不是当地数字,导致索赔不正确。 However, the data used were national figures, not local, leading to incorrect claims. 经过更正后,混乱仍然存在,因为《泰晤士报》使用了所有休闲和招待部门的数字,而不仅仅是餐馆的数字。 After correction, confusion remained as the Times used figures from all leisure and hospitality sectors, not just restaurants. 实际的BLS数据表明,自2023年5月工资涨幅以来,全职餐厅就业减少了3.52%。 Actual BLS data showed a 3.52% decrease in full-service restaurant employment since the wage hike in May 2023.
