Diana highlights a 5.5% unemployment rate but she conveniently omits that student employment encountered drastic cuts when minimum wages were elevated to levels not commensurate to student contributions.
The Nancy Pelosi Harry Reid team closed a very valuable door engaging students or beginners in the job market.

Well, I didn’t MEAN to omit anything because I hate those two with the white-hot intensity of a thousand suns! If I can blame anything on them, trust me, I will, LOL!

And you are absolutely correct about the minimum wage mandates. We have one where I live. We have kids with NO experience at ANYTHING other than popping zits and playing X-Box DEMANDING $10 and up an hour to stock shelves or gather shopping carts, or carry items to a customer’s car.

*Rolleyes*

And when we DO get a decent kid to work for us, ‘their eyes are on the prize’ and they fully understand that this job is just a layover on their way to college, success and a Real Life.

What about the Republican that made it the law of the land?...Why do you omit that important fact?

BTW, that half a percentage point is really a 10% increase...10% isn't insignificant.
