Minimum Wage and Unemployment

[Burn baby, Burn]

people always told me that no minimum wage would mean no real change in wages.

then I learned that on oklahoma the minimum wage is 2.50 an hour.

so I did a job search.

the number of jobs that returned 2.50 an hour made me want to vomit.

Unemployment would decrease.  It's a very simple thing to understand, don't hold employers to a forced minimum, and they'll be able to hire more people with the money they don't have to pay to support this minimum.

without a minimum wage unemployment would not shrink, it'd dissapear. and you'd have 20 people living in each room in each house because they could not afford to do more. unskilled people anyway. they count too.
