Not only that, but with technology today, people go to social media and obliterate a company if they screw employees. There were no PR capabilities like that for people in the 1800’s and 1900’s.It was to insure that the market didn't take advantage of people which couldn't happen today. Believe it or not, at one time we were a country where you worked or starved. Today if the pay isn't adequate enough, you go on some social program to subsidize the rest, or just not work and go on social programs.What do you base that on? The US federal minimum wage was introduced during the Depression with the Fair Labor Standards Act, and I don't believe it was promoted as being for 16 year olds living off of their parents' income.
