Every time the minimum wage is increased, unemployment goes up. The minimum wage theory is that it will help young, inexperienced, new-entrants, often minority workers in the labor force to get a “living wage”. Since the dawn of minimum wage laws, every increase has seen young, inexperienced, new-entrants, often minority workers fired when the new wage takes effect. At $15/hr, there are going to be a massive number of workers saying: “My wage was $15/hr when I was fired.” Still, hope springs eternal as these idiots demand a wage that is unsustainable with their current skill sets. Absolutely stupid.
Strange isn’t it how they raise the min wage making it harder and harder for the unskilled to live and work in the cities at the same time Obama is coming up with a grand idea of moving the inner city trash out to the suburbs to live.
Just a coincidence of course.
