Quote:
Most people who earn minimum wage are young, unskilled workers. How are they doing in Australia?

In June, Australia's unemployment rate for workers age 15 to 19 was 16.5%.

Last December, 63% of all jobs lost were jobs for young, unskilled Australians.

It's simple: when the price of something goes up, people buy less. So when the price of labor goes up, employers hire less.
