>we have a large quantity of adults without any appreciable skills that would lend them to work which raises them out of minimum wage Have you applied or know someone who applied for a minimum wage job recently? The last time I did, the person interviewing me went on a rant/monologue about how she couldn't find anyone who would actually show up and not, like, play on their phone all day. Essentially all I had to do in the interview was agree on a start date. Then a couple days later, she changes her mind, evidently because I was overqualified (aka wore a tie, probably too old). Which turned out to be ok, because someone else called me back about a ~$15/hr job. This was a little before the pandemic in a non-economically booming area, not a major global city. I can't remember when I've seen a full time minimum wage position offered. Stocking shelves at Target paid more than minimum. Answering the phone for an ISP, which was my first job, paid slightly more than minimum. I may be forgetting something, but I think if any jobs I've had or applied to paid exactly minimum they were probably very short assignments through temp agencies. Where obviously their client is paying a lot more.
