Default Re: Minimum wage, good or bad?

Hi all. First time poster!

Just want to note that there are exception to the minimum wage rule, at least in the U.S. According to the DOL:

Various minimum wage exceptions apply under specific circumstances to workers with disabilities, full-time students, youth under age 20 in their first 90 consecutive calendar days of employment, tipped employees and student-learners.

So this would cover some of the ethical issues that were brought up.
