You, Sir, are correct!

Minimum wage laws were implemented by unions to support wages for unions.

Actually, high schools help keep kids from being available to compete with union labor - another union plan.

Just some more benefits that unions have provided to "We the People."

Recently I commented to a friend about the anomaly of double digit unemployment in the Central Valley of California and the inability of growers there to hire enough people to pick the crops. She responded that one cannot expect an unemployed middle manager or administrative assistant to move to Fresno to work in the fields.

Perhaps not, but what about all those unemployed millenials living in their childhood bedrooms we always hear about. Starting when I was 16 and before I learned my profession, I worked as a mover, a kiln chipper, a switchman and hostler helper, a lot staker, and a lathe operator. Several of these jobs were not particuarly pleasant, but they brought in money and allowed me to get on with my life.

Have young people today lost the ability and desire to take the sometimes unpleasant entry level jobs that Mike Rowe is talking about?
