Depends on what the definitions of 'greatly' and 'slightly' are, but I'm certain it would have a bad effect on employment--but not as bad of an effect as raising it to 15.00 would.

I'm going to alter that opinion.  A minimum wage abolishment likely would increase employment, but a vast majority of the new jobs would be sweatshop-like and the quality and pay of all jobs would decrease over time.
