That incentivizes companies to hire teenagers instead of adults
- DavidButter 5y agoCould that possibly be a bad sounding thing that turns out to be a good thing? I am not familiar with Australian labor issues.
- Jcowell 5y agoFor adults who depend on these kind of jobs to pay the bills, I cannot see this as a good thing in anyway.
- hkarthik 5y agoIt also incentivizes teenagers to work instead of hang around parking lots being goofballs.
- qchris 5y agoI liked hanging around parking lots being a goofball. Not that it wasn't a privilege to be in that position and that teenagers shouldn't be able to support themselves through work if they need or want to, but I'm also glad I didn't want or need to trade it in for a few extra dollars.
- unpolloloco 5y agoIs that a bad thing (in the long run)? More people with work experience = more people who are enjoyable at higher rates later on. Maybe a bit of short-term pain, but everyone's better off in the long run?

- andromeduck 5y agoOnly if adults can't compete with teenagers.
- Igelau 5y agoAt that level, "cheaper" is the killer feature. There's no competing with the cheaper option.
- barry-cotter 5y agoIf you can’t do the job you’re not worth hiring whatever the cost.
- Robotbeat 5y agoDoubt it. Australia doesn't have a problem. And there are a finite number of minors, and they're not allowed to work full time any way.
