Well that's certainly one possible outcome if nothing else was changed,
but I rather doubt it. Most Mickey Dee's I see seem to be offering well
above minimum to start. One near my apt in CO was offering 9 an hour to
start, 10 if you could work hours that High Schoolers can't.
So even with the government doing all sorts of silly things our economy
is doing pretty good.
Minimum wage CAUSES unemployment. Followups to .debate not .fun...
