    Well, hopefully all of those teen workers that are taking a pay cut as a result of this correctly understand that this also represents a decrease in the amount of effort they should give.

      Lowering pay for teen workers has the knock-on effect of lowering teen participation in the workforce (at least in Nebraska). I had a friend while I was living in Texas who actually took a summer job in Wisconsin at the prompting of his dad. While I was earning $10/hr doing bullshit retail work, he picked up $25/hr plus benefits at a unionized factory job just outside Madison.
