It's like Art Laffer said- they ought to call any minimum wage legislation 'The Black Youth Unemployment Act'...

Minimum wage jobs teach the skills needed for career advancement:

Punctuality

Appropriate behavior

Social skills

Teamwork

Personal responsibility

Honesty

And so on...

For many black youth a minimum wage job is the only way they will learn the skills needed to hold a job.

For a LOT of kids, period

I always thought I learned more working than in school- changing tires, bussing tables, whatever
