Argument by the Chicago Sun-Times in OPPOSITION to Raising the Minimum Wage in Illinois: "Retail Merchants Association, teen employment has dropped to 28 percent in Illinois from 50 percent in 2000. Teen employment is 48 percent in the city of Chicago, and in African-American communities only 8.7 percent of teens have a job. And while minimum-wage jobs don’t pay much, they can be starter jobs for young people who need work experience. These jobs are where they learn to get to work on time, contend with a cranky boss and do a job right. It’s the first rung on the ladder." suntimes/opinions/19292464-474/editorial-illinois-cant-afford-to-raise-minimum-wage.html
