I think jobs related to your field post high school or during post secondary are of critical importance but those wouldn’t be affected by the youth minimum wage. I’m arguing that the minimum wage high school job no longer are relavent to your next job.
I’d also argue that a minimum wage job exists for every high school kid who wants one.

That's because minimum wage jobs have turned into menial labor. And ya, there's tons of those.
Volunteering in their chosen field is infinitely better for longterm success.
