Forums - Politics Discussion - Michigan youth working against bill that lowers minimum wage for young adults: Proposed bill would let employers pay people under 20 less than minimum wage

Lower entry wages for younger people can boost employment prospects. I don't doubt a lower minimum wage in the UK for under 22s is a big reason why although still an issue, youth unemployment is less of an issue than in many other European countries.

A lower minimum wage for younger people helps to offset their lack of employment experience and helps give a foot in the door.

Oh yeah, lower the minimum wage. Great idea...

My response is that we should lower the maximum wage. I mean, hell. We don't even have a maximum wage in place but if we did I'm sure they'd be upset if we lowered it.



Before the PS3 everyone was nice to me :(
