So no such thing as an entry job meant for people to learn how to work so they can move onto real jobs? And we seem to have convinced businesses hat if the job isn't important enough to pay a living wage, it isn't important enough to hire a human.
This is my biggest problem with raising the minimum wage. Entry level jobs are just that...they're for kids who just got their working papers and want to put gas in their 15 year old Civic. The problem isn't minimum wage being too low, it's people wanting to do the bare minimum amount of work to support their family.

Is it bad if the first question that came to mind was "I wonder how quickly I could install Gentoo on that?"
