Re: “Ben Carson and minimum wage,” Nov. 13 letter to the editor.
The minimum wage was implemented to keep employers from taking advantage of young and inexperienced employees in entry-level jobs. It was never intended to be a “living wage.” If you force an employer to pay employees more money, they will reduce their workforce to balance out the payout. Itap called economics and the cost of doing business.
