Even if everyone worked twice as hard and went to school twice as long there would still be the same number of minimum wage jobs.
Well that isn't technically true, because as technology advances from all that gained intelligence we will continue to do away with minimum wage jobs. See McDonald's testing out ordering kiosks. There is a fight to be fought to get it up slightly and maintain with inflation, but if they push too hard they are going to end up losing more than is gained. When it becomes cheaper to buy technology to do no skill jobs then the no skill jobs will disappear at a quicker rate.
