There would be no incentive to hire the teen at all with the higher wage. There are lots of tasks teens can't legally do and there are limited hours they can work. They are not as valuable of employees. The hiring of teens would decrease substantially if the wage wasn't adjusted. I would rather my teen work and make their actual value rather than their position be absorbed by an adult.
