"You aren't hiring minimum wage type employees. Sure we do. I hire minorities, or people on probation, no high school diploma, etc... ...People without a work ethic don't deserve jobs, at any price, until they find their work ethic. The $12/hr, is for unskilled, and we train them. As for good aptitude, hustle, energy, good attitude, can make up for a lot I don't think people without work ethics deserve jobs in the sense that a decent (or any) job should just be handed to them, but if they have just enough of a work ethic to hold down a very low paying job and their employer wants to pay them and the relationship benefits both of them I don't think it should be forbidden by law. You might be hiring people with little in the way of skills and no diploma, but your hiring people with enough motivation to make up for this at least for a simple routine job. If they don't have much motivation I suspect you don't keep them around. If unskilled but reasonably motivated and hard working labor makes $12 per hour in your area the "minimum wage type employees" would be people with less motivation and work ethic and hustle and energy. The type of people you personally probably wouldn't want to even pay $3/hour for much less $12. Tim
