- When we were kids, minimum wage jobs were delivering flyers, pumping gas, working fast food only for teenagers. It was always a stepping stone to something better. We all have moved on from our first minimum wage job. Some of us probably never worked a minimum wage. My first job was a cashier at Superstore in 1996 and it was way above minimum wage.

I’m trying to think of what could have possibly made it so that an employer who otherwise would be paying a particular job minimum wage isn’t but I’m stumped. If only we could figure out the cause of this phenomenon and try to make it so that whatever form of divine intervention facilitated this could be made more easily available to minimum wage workers. Maybe, just maybe if the states did that there would be less minimum wage paying jobs overall and we wouldn’t have to hear complaints about how paying people higher than a slave wages would destroy the economy?
