raising the minimum wage to 20 dollars a hour is a bad idea. It hurts many unskilled workers who will be fired and have to find new jobs. like it say in this article "Unfortunately for the low-skilled workers (bussers and dish-washers), the most vulnerable workers, they all lost their jobs. And to kick them while they’re down, they are the ones who will have the hardest time finding new jobs since they have few skills, and the fact that they can’t legally make less that $20/hour makes it even harder still for them to find jobs." it wont even effect the these people if they still had there jobs because the price of living is rising so high. "Because if you raise the minimum wage to $20/hour, everybody who makes under $20/hour is at risk of losing his or her job!" http://www.aei.org/article/economics/fiscal-policy/labor/why-we-shouldnt-raise-the-minimum-wage http://www.forbes.com/sites/quora/2013/02/20/why-shouldnt-we-increase-the-minimum-wage-to-20hour/ http://articles.southbendtribune.com/2013-03-17/news/37794347_1_minimum-wage-richard-burkhauser-higher-unemployment
