Remember your first official job? The anxiety the night before the interview, the thrill of being offered the job, the awkwardness of the uniform or clothes? The pride you had cashing your first paycheck? What you earned? Well-intentioned bills with horrible collateral consequences are moving through the Legislature that would rob many high school students and disabled folks of that first-job experience and a chance to enter the workforce. Senate Bill 35 sailed through the chamber last month and is now in the House. It would scrap an allowable lower minimum wage for high schoolers, a “training wage.” While the statewide minimum wage is currently $10.50 an hour, the training wage is $8.50 for high school students.
