That said, all moving the min wage to $15 does is make more jobs min wage.

I started as an architectural intern making $15/hour quite recently. I've since improved dramatically and I'm now fully licensed, but still - I was worth way more than minimum wage back then.

Raising the min wage just hurts young professionals that want a firm to take a chance on them so that they can complete their professional program.

How dare you think that because you are educated and have skills you have more worth than Bill who barely got his GED and flips burgers at McDonalds.

Said it before.....

If the total of your life's experiences, education, and training amount to you only being qualified for a job a trained ape could do......

Not my fault, not my problem.

If you want $15/hr, PROVE to the boss you're WORTH IT.

while I agree, sometimes the labor percentage becomes a serious issue for too many small businesses in the interior...
