The money quote:
We can see that the Age 16-19 and Age 20-24 groups saw dramatic declines in the number of people earning the minimum wage or less, while all the other age groups either saw increases or fairly minor decreases.

If raising the minimum wage had no effect upon the level of employment, we should not see this result. At all.

Seems odd that this time of “recession”. I still remember my first job at 16, McDonald’s. I think that’s how I became a conservative overnight.

And no, I “tried” NOT spitting into those burgers.
