An economics essay claims a higher minimum wage reduced teen employment in one town. Which sentence best handles the causal issue?
A
Employers always hire fewer people when wages rise.
B
Teen employment fell after the wage rose, so the wage caused the decline.
C
A higher wage could affect hiring costs, but the essay should also examine seasonal demand, nearby job openings, and whether teens chose more schooling.
D
Because the wage law came first, no other explanation should be considered.
