The flip side of minimum wage is often overlooked: people on the bottom end of the spectrum, who struggle to compete with other minimum-wagers, are cut out of the workforce. At $15 or $20/hour, the job requirements are higher than at $10/hour, and these folks stand no chance.

Likewise, the low-end employers are priced out of the market.

It's the same survival of fittest, except the weakest constituance is hurt most. They are very sparse so their voice is never heard.
