You must be young; Minimum wage don't mean shit just what they paying you per hour. You better be full time and getting overtime hours to get by. Telling you just for teenagers just to work learn how to get hands dirty. If you never worked as a teen and really have a silver spoon oh my i might start job after college for the first time oh my you only want to pay me 11 bucks? That why people get stupid. Oh I just got out of this school though I never worked though another person resume says oh I already got this and know what to do to take care of the company that why you all have problems of getting jobs. Your lazy ass in middle school can't get a paper route or high school get a full time job while in school to learn work? If you got a silver spoon you don't care cause you don't even need to work.

Again, about 40% of jobs pay min wage or near min wage. They have to be filled by someone, also min wage isn't the minimum. Under the table jobs are the minimum which is what I worked until I was 16 and graduated from HS. They still exist and depending on the area can be much less then min wage (although in this area they generally pay around $10 an hour...which is $2 less per hour then min wage).

Meanwhile of all the jobs within 3 miles of my house, almost EVERY one of them pays $15 an hour or less, almost everyone at safeway, subway, bskin robins, burger king, farrellies pizze, the 2 chineese places, good will, mc donalds, DQ, taco bell, dominos, the pet store across the street. The large home goods store across the street, the gas stations, the taco place, another subway, Walmart (grocery only), mods pizza, and a bunch of little other stores. It's actually a fairly big/full hub, and yup, i'd say 95% of everyone working in this area, tons of jobs....make $15 or less an hour.

They would happily be making more somewhere else if it was super easy for them to do so.
