    Nobody is forcing to anyone get a job that pays minimum wage. If you don't like the pay, go find another job...that's the beauty of a free capitalistic world.

    most people working for the minimum are either young kids or those people who simply lack the experience for better work!

    i agree.

    sidenote, the minimum wage has been raised in many states recently.

    Most states have a minimum wage in excess of $6.00/hr.

    it goes by state the minimum wage, in ct its $7.65 my 17 year old brother makes that working at a law firm, but the $5.15 is the federal one i think the absolute lowest it can be anywhere in the states, it can be so low b/c the cost of living is so much less in certain places
