Lots of stuff - input "minimum wage black teenagers" on google. You'll probably agree with Holmes Eleanor Norton - so what if the minimum wage increases unemployment among black teenagers, it helps their mothers and fathers. To which I would respond, their mothers and fathers don't work for minimum wage. Raising the minimum wage doesn't affect other wages, just wages for entry level workers. Helps preserve the status quo for those who already have jobs.

Doesn't matter to me - I haven't worked for minimum wage in 34 years, and even teenagers around here get paid at least $7/hr. I think that this is probably true for a lot of job markets. You'd probably have to study the effect of raising the minimum wage in places where it makes an actual difference, where the de facto entry level wage is affected.
