In all truth, it doesn't matter. In terms of economics it means almost nothing. The fact is there are plenty of jobs which do not fall under the minimum wage umbrella and the ones that do don't pay people minimum wage for long. As an employee gains experience and performs well they progress beyond the minimum wage and the vast majority of current workers have progressed beyond even the "new" minimum wage being proposed.
The minimum wage issue is just a ploy used by politicians to appear sympathetic to workers.
