Perhaps they could add the requirement of a high school diploma or GED to qualify for the minimum wage. If people refuse the education that society is willing to provide, then society shouldn't have to pay for the unmarketability of certain individuals. Individual responsibility. mithrandir2001 >>
What about the people who are CURRENT high school students trying to find jobs. While the idea is good, you should add a clause for people who are currently working towards that. They would be the ones who would be needing the minimum wage law the most.
EDIT: also isn't the idea of minimum wage to protect those who DON"T NEED IT? It keeps us from having a class of low paid workers who steal all the positions from the more educated (more expensive) people.
