In fact the constant turn over and training costs, having to OVERSTAFF because of no shows, late arrivals and those with a grandmother dying every week and needing time off raise your overhead for that category of labor far, far above their starting wages.
Anyone disagreeing has never had entry level workers and is just dreaming about the perfect world that is just around the corner if only the government would just ?..

Correct on all accounts.
If you've built a business yourself, you're not in a hurry to give handouts to the lazy. Additionally, you realize many (not all) will do the minimum amount of work to collect a paycheck, hence are paid minimum wage. If you want to be paid more, learn a skill, trade craft, or put yourself in a position to be worth more to the employer. They will inturn pay you more to keep you.
