My understanding is that works created with Jupyter wouldn't have a problem, but that the admins are just trying to minimize the footprint of GPL 3 libraries on our systems. It seems pretty knee-jerk to me, but then I'm not an expert.

Well, except for the part about the Washington Post actually having journalistic standards and ethics.
In my workplace, Jupyter needs special approval and can only be installed in limited environments because the company is afraid some developer will inadvertently do something that contaminates our code with GPL3.
Yes! Please!!
Which suggests that maybe the data are inconclusive or muddled and so everyone is finding what they expected to find. It's a complicated situation, with many factors that aren't touched on in this article:
1. Seattle had relatively few minimum wage workers to begin with. The raise doesn't directly affect most of Seattle's workforce.
2. Seattle's booming economic numbers probably overlook the fact that the working poor and chronically unemployed can't afford to live within city limits. It's expensive here.
3. The tech boom continues to flood the market with high-paid jobs, and prices for everything are steadily raising across the board. This could be masking effects, positive or negative, of the minimum wage hike.
4. Meanwhile, there is a massive increase in homelessness and homeless tent encampments. A lot of people are being left behind by the boom.
