Is it disgustingly low for a bagboy at a grocery store working a few hours after school a few days a week? [lists a bunch menial entry level jobs for teenagers]
I don't know what the right number is, but it may be that pricing the youths out of early employment with "living wage" minimums is what is turning them in precious flowers. Not to mention, even in a evil Red state the market rate starting wage is above the floor.
