Over 96% of the workforce already make above minimum wage, with, by far he largest percentage is 16-19 year olds (aka High School kids) at just over 15%. The only thing gained by raising the minimum wage will be higher unemployment, higher prices, and reduced stratification. There must be a goal for the employee to work.

Can you expand on what you see as the benefits?
