Gees...they never learn. According to politicians, the minimum wage is designed to help low-wage, often minority, workers. When the wage goes up, employers look for ways to cut costs, and that often means firing the newest, least productive, often minority, workers. End result: unemployment goes up for the very workers they thought they were helping. About all they can say is that, if they still had a job, their wages would be higher. But: higher wages * zero hours worked = no income.
