The unseen consequences of minimum wage laws are the millions of poor, disadvantaged people who don't have job opportunities. In the United States, it hurts poor people and inner-city minorities<http://townhall.com/columnists/walterewilliams/2011/05/11/minimum_wages_discriminatory_effects>. In Australia, it hurts young workers<http://www.smh.com.au/business/young-workers-hit-by-rising-unemployment-20120124-1qevx.html>.
Australia is an example of how minimum wage helps some groups, and hurts others. Even in a good economy, the young, inexperienced workers are left out.

Kids find it hard to get jobs today because Australia enforces a min wage of double that in the USA.

it's as simple as that!

And now Tony Abbott is too scared to look at HR reform for fear the Labour party will scream "Work Choices" again!

Minimum wage in San Francisco - US$11.05, or around A$13.63

Minimum wage in Sydney - A$16.87 (for someone over 21).

Higher?  Yes.  Double?  Not even close.


Yes, other parts of the US may be lower, but the movement is towards increasing to sane levels, not reducing them.
