Part of the problem is Florida's minimum wage is $8.64 per hour. I don't blame people who make minimum wage to sit home and collect the federal government's extra $300 on top of their base unemployment pay.

Correct. The MINIMUM wage is $8.64. I dare say it would be a challenge to find a job that pays the minimum, though I'm sure they are out there. I fear more people will be out of work once Florida reaches the $15 mark, especially those who really need a job but may be considered undesirable. The law of unintended consequences...
