Minimum wage is possibly the cruelest law ever. It makes it illegal
for people with limited skills to be employed at a wage lower than a
legally mandated level.
Is the rate set too high? For most with skills, the law is irrelevant. However, for those who passed through dysfunctional government schools and learned little, it is an viciously cruel law because it condemns them to a life of poverty. It makes it illegal for them to get a job. It does not protect low-income workers, rather it forces them out of the workplace. No employer is going to pay somebody $10 per hour if he is only worth $5. If the value of the worker does not exceed what is mandated by law, that person is legally unemployable.
Even if person knows his limitations and offers to work for an employer at less than the minimum wage, the employer cannot hire him. The employer cannot even allow the “give me a chance to prove myself” option to kids willing to show initiative.
