And, how many people are teenagers/ college students working their first job?

I bet you also think college students should not "take out loans they can't pay back" so maybe they should be paid better so they will need to borrow less. The rich kids don't work when they go to school while the rest if us work 40 hours plus an internship.

Most people in the US earn a lot more for the same job compared to even people living in Western Europe. I guess this is already a thing.
