That is generally for first time jobs. Once they have experience and show that they are reliable and capable they earn more...which seems very fair to me.

Raising the minimum wage to $15/hr will make it much harder for employees to earn raises over time. The really good, experienced employees will wind up making the same wage as the newbies which isn't right.
