Raising the minimum wage on beginner/temporary jobs only hurt small business…
There are no "beginner/temporary jobs", there are only jobs. The myth that only teenagers work at McDonalds or Walmart is just that - a myth. The average age of a those making minimum wage at McDonalds, is 27. Hardly a teenager, or a beginning worker.
All of the jobs my father did as an employee are gone off-shore, or replaced by automation. Many of the jobs I did as a young office clerk have been replaced by automation. I have watched entire sectors of the legal services business disappear with computerization. I have so many clerical skills that no one uses anymore, from my days working for banks before computerization. But workers either evolve or they get left behind.
I'm smart, and a quick study. Acquiring new skills was easy for me, and I have a natural affiliation for computers. In the 1980's I started writing simple legal apps which helped me do my work better and faster than anybody else, and then I started selling them.
