Minimum wage
Some are saying that the rise in minimum wage is actually hurting teenagers, because there has been an increase in unemployment for teens that they do not think has to do with the recession. Some think that businesses are not hiring, because the increase in pay is putting them over the top. Some are calling for a "sub-minimum wage" for teenagers since teenagers are not usually the bread winners in the family and don't need to be paid as much. This sub-minimum wage could be as low as $5.00 an hour. If you were a business owner how do you think you would feel? What do you think as a teenager?
