    The "study" of the smoking ban effect on jobs was conducted in Minnesota, however, Ms Klein, being from out of town, probably didn't notice the 327+ closed bars & restaurants and 10,000+ laid-off hospitality workers since smoking bans were enacted here in MN:

    Liz Klein explains OSU’s “hospitality employment unaffected study”

    Additional items to note, according to Liz, the research took place between 2003-2006. But Minnesota’s  statewide ban didn't go into effect until 2007, so you can see the reason they found virtually no statistical harm.
