My problem with the minimum wage is who the hell is going to pay someone $15/hour to train them? They might be useless and you wasted #### loads of money. I hardly got paid my first week roofing, first job bookkeeping I wasn't even close to minimum wage haha.
I used to get a summer student to help me out each summer but at ~$18/hour cost to the employer that's gone.
God, I'm glad I'm not at the bottom of the rung anymore. A lack of young people being trained will actually help my job prospects as well.
