>"Having established that the number of minimum wage workers is small and shrinking, that most minimum wage workers are not poor, and that most of them are young and working their way up the ladder" Except it doesn't. It says that 2.5% are on or below minimum wage, that's 3.6 million people and doesn't include those on slightly above minimum wage, that would be affected by the changes. That's a significant number of people. 45% of minimum wage workers are over 25 years of age, so not that young. And I really don't know how Mr Dorfman thinks he has established that they are 'not poor'.
