In a related vein, this is an interesting post i stumbled across last month. Jobs lost to min-wage increases? Personally, i’m not convinced that the entire loss is due to increases in the minimum rate, but the raw numbers are interesting.

I think there is a lot more going on than the minimum wage here. Yes, unemployment has hit harder in the lower economic demographic. That is not surprising. There are many factors. Retail sales jobs and extra office personnel would be hit hard in a downturn like we have been through.
