Is this about Seattle’s recruitment dropping almost to 0 after the implementation of the living wage? Does anybody have a link?

YES! it is!

"Since the Army is not subject to local minimum wage laws, Seattle pay now outstrips what locals could earn by signing up for the Army. $15 per hour is not only more than the base pay for privates, but corporals and specialists as well."

Fuck this article for trying to make me sympathize with the military complex tho. Boo-hoo, Sargent Bootlicker won't get Friday off for failing to sign up new recruits
