But raising minimum wage at what cost?

It's already gotten really hard for high school kids to find work. Raising minimum wage will just make that worse.

I'm far less concerned about high school kids than I am about people needing these jobs to survive.

That ship has already mostly sailed. Raising the minimum wage WILL shrink the pool of available jobs for everyone low-skilled, so the problems high school kids have now will spread to adults that should be independent.
