Lots of jobs start out low skill and provide a path to advance.

Construction jobs, metal working, wood working, mechanic among hundreds if not thousands of others.

For many it's getting the opportunity to prove themselves with a chance to learn and be productive.

Minimum wage increases the cost of getting that chance.

DB, I'm open to coments about the minimum wage, but I find it hard to beleive that it's a serious problem. What would you want to pay summer job workers, $2 to $4 per hour? Yikes!

I oppose raising it, because we are generally talking about temporary youth jobs. I realize the democrats demagogue this issue insufferably. I'm just not a big fan of turning it into a bidding war to see who could pay the least in certain demographic areas.
