More money in the pockets of entry-level workers sounds great, but Rachel Greszler of the conservative Heritage Foundation argues that such workers, and the economy writ large, are hurt more than helped by increases in the minimum wage.

    The author is basically saying you should be a slave until you get a good job. Can’t say I agree with this opinion piece.

      He’s saying artificially inflating wages has led to job cuts.

        Ok…and her solution is to exploit young and low skilled workers since they ‘don’t bring the value of a reasonable minimum wage’.

          Which is better a low paying job or no job?

            You obviously approve of slave labor rates so there is no point in giving you a thoughtful reply. Adios.

              Understanding that there are two undesirable outcomes and that complaining about one won’t change the other must be tough for you.

                  Analytical thinking must be difficult for you.
