10 questions for people who want to raise the minimum wage

1.       Should the minimum wage be the same in New York City and rural Alabama?
2.       Should people with experience be paid the same as people without?
3.       Should teenagers be paid the same as adults?
4.       Why would anyone open a business in areas that have an under-skilled work force if they have to pay them the same as areas that have skilled work force?
5.       Will companies actually hire less people at the same rate if you increase the minimum wage?
6.       Will companies automate instead of increasing employment if you raise the minimum wage?
7.       Will companies pass on the increase expense to the consumers if you raise the minimum wage?
8.       Will the minimum wage increase hurt younger workers?
9.       Will the wage scale for everyone increase because the minimum wage goes up?
10.   Will the minimum wage affect the poverty rate?

I ask these because I see many supporters of the minimum wage think that increasing it has no consequences.
