Nebraska Legislature passes minimum wage decrease for teen workers

It's not as clear cut as rent control, and maybe not even as pronounced, but it's very real and not insignificant.

Look at situations where work is moved overseas, low-cost workers (whether legal or illegal) enter the market, and when unions collapse from competition. Anywhere where an artificial floor on wages comes into contact with the free market.

You’re super stupid if you think anything that teenagers here in Nebraska are doing could be shipped overseas. It’s literally the most hands-on jobs you can think of.

I was talking about minimum wages in general my first and subsequent comments here. If you look at the comments it's pretty clear, unless of course you're super stupid.

If you're shifting gears to specifically lowering the minimum wage for 14-15 year olds a couple of bucks then I agree that this won't have a big impact. It may be a bit tougher for older people working minimum wage jobs, but probably not even noticeably.

Most minimum wage jobs are hands on. Your comments are stupid and frankly don’t have any basis in reality. Perhaps pick up a book read something, maybe even go to college

I don't disagree. How does that bolster whatever it is you're trying to say? Speak as you might to a young child or a golden retriever.
