Employers will require years of experience and education to even get in the door for the interview. If teen agers price themselves out of the labor market they will find out the real minimum wage in $0.00 per hour. These companies and small businesses that do have entry level positions will automate those jobs as quickly as possible. For a McDonalds franchise that has 15 to 20 people on a shift will be reduced to 3 to 5 people. A kiosk will take orders and have “Flippy” the hamburger flipping robot preparing the food. 3 or 4 of these robots will replace 80% to 90% of the kitchen staff. We have empirical evidence of how over priced labor costs causes small business to close, see Seattle. The real victims are low skilled minorities and women that will not be able to get a job.
