I would think that the balance point is that the expectation of minimum wage workers is going to increase.

If a business owner is going to pay a higher wage there's going to be a higher expectation. He's not going to hire one or two floor sweepers at lets say $15.00 an hour when he can hire one who's either a well trained floor sweeper or has the ability to get the job done faster for $25.00.

The biggest mistake was not putting an age limit on minimum wage, I don't know if that's the right term to use. Why hire a student with no experience and give him that experience when he can probably go out and try to find someone with experience who you can lay a higher expectation and work load on?
