As minimum wage rises, people with less experience or less legal privileges (people under 18 have to have more oversight, work less hours), are being overlooked. This causes younger people to be be unable to get a first job. An effective minimum wage (binding price floor), makes the companies total costs go up, companies look for ways to mitigate this by giving employees less hours (if you don't work a certain amount of hours they're not required to give you benefits), and by cutting benefits for full time employees. This does not benefit the businesses or their workers. By allowing the minimum wage to be negotiable people can work for nothing while they are being trained, or work for less if they are less experienced. This allows more inexperienced workers to get into the job market without displacing experienced workers.
