You can't have a separate minimum wage for teens doing the same job as an adult, but a HS kid looking to make a few bucks at McDonald's doesn't need the motivation of a living wage, they will be happy with the $10/hour. Not sure how to resolve that issue.

Click on "structural characteristics". It makes a lot of sense to do it that way.
