All economists agree that min wage laws assure youth unemployment, low-skill worker unemployment, and thus young black and Hispanic unemployment.

Yoots who WOULD get hired at wage rates lower than the min wage, are not worth hiring at the mandatory floor rate, so employers insist on skill or experience at min wage jobs.

I also think min wage no big deal, since only 1 million US workers in an employed workforce of 140 million earn min wage.

What are the purposes of minimum wage legislation?

The purpose of minimum wage legislation is to make sure employers will not pay workers too little money. The minimum wage is still too low (a worker can not support a family on minimum wage).
