Repeal minimum wage to reduce joblessness

Data compiled by the Bureau of Labor Statistics show that joblessness among black male teens increased to 40.1 percent in June. This is the highest increase since the recent recession.” It can be explained by the fact that a burst of minimum wage hikes was set to take effect around the country on July 1st. Minimum wage laws are making it hard for black male teens to get starter jobs. Politicians in general, and the left in particular, harm black male teens with their policies. Are they OK with black male teens suffering, just so you can signal your good intentions?

I feel differently. I have real compassion, not just good intentions. Fix this problem. Repeal the minimum wage law. Irvin Chambers Menlo Park
