This definition is trivial, pedantic, and I would say incorrect. If someone isn't employed, their wage isn't $0 - they simply do not have a wage. 0 != null There is an argument to made that minimum wage laws reduce employability of low-skill employees. While many people will already come into that argument with some disdain and hostility, starting the argument with "As a reminder, the minimum wage is actually $0" is a surefire way to raise hackles.
