but at this point most people who are working minimum wage jobs aren't teenagers but are trying to support families
Have anything to back up that unsubstantiated claim? Because what I've read shows the majority of minimum wage earners are young people working part time. If you're supporting a family on minimum wage you're pretty much living out of a dumpster.

BLS stats
quote:
Minimum wage workers tend to be young. Although workers under age 25 represented only about one-fifth of hourly paid workers, they made up about half of those paid the Federal minimum wage or less. Among employed teenagers paid by the hour, about 21 percent earned the minimum wage or less, compared with about 3 percent of workers age 25 and over.
