New Arizona Minimum Wage Hurts Teens!
Go figure! The State of Arizona imposed a nice hike in their minimum wage from just over $5 an hour to nearly $7. Net result?The 30% of workers in that money range who are 16-19 years of age are losing out.
Jobs are going away, and hours are being cut.
The results seem to follow the predictions of those who say let the economy work....you cannot drive the economy politically!

The fact has been proven time and time again that imposed wage hikes cut jobs...and the folks who are the supposed target group for the hikes are not usually impacted as they already make more than the new minimum.
However, it sure sounds good to those who shill for Government controls on everything, and it does get the votes from the "gimme" set.
