Re: Study: The 2007 minimum wage hike cost more than 1 million jobs during the recess
I was unaware you were concerned with people who choose not to prepare themselves the the modern economy. It is highly unlikely people enter the labor force to earn the lowest amount possible.
The "you are getting paid with training" model is ripe with exploitation.
Its bad for people who cannot achieve their first job, obtain the necessary skills for their career paths and people entering the labour force who simply just want to make a living.

These are why we have internships, as the only legal way for having a fully capable person to work below the minimum wage is if they work for free.
