One of the biggest problems with the minimum wage hike hype is that it glosses over the damage done to the part-time entry level worker who gets priced out of the labor market when the cost of his labor is set too high by the government.
Rep. Brad Montell (R-Shelbyville) has a terrific answer in an amendment to HB 305: exempt workers who put in less than 25 hours in a week.
The slavish devotees of the left will scream bloody murder over this, but it really is a good idea.
Save entry level jobs. Exempt part-time workers.
