Instead of raising minimum wage, I think the focus should be on those who are trying to make a living off minimum wage and how they can be paid better (like through job training programs for better paying jobs, etc)

Don't teens have school to go to?  Our society has moved towards quite the reliance upon service-oriented jobs and if the only people who are supposed to work minimum wage jobs are teens then no fast food places would be open before 3pm on weekdays, right?

Wal Mart employs a lot of people and they are open 24 hours a day all year, or so. How can a business that is supposedly only there to rely on the work of teenagers dare to keep those kinds of hours?
