Letter: Minimum wage hike wrecked entry job market

Sun, Mar 23, 1997 (11:59 a.m.)

So what's happened to all those entry-level jobs? Think back to last summer. Can you say "government-mandated minimum wage hike," boys and girls? As predicted, raising the minimum wage has forced businesses to eliminate many of the entry-level jobs needed by the poor to get started on the road to self-sufficiency.

Don't government-loving liberals ever get tired of being wrong?
