No Help To The Ambitious Youngster
Liberal and labor union spokesmen have long pushed for a general minimum wage in Wisconsin. Current state rules set 85 cents an hour for adult women and youths 16 plus in large communities and 75 cents in smaller areas, with minors under 16 at 75 and 65 cents. The advisory board proposes increases after Labor Day and in 1964, with hearings in La Crosse this month. The piece argues higher wages will reduce job opportunities for youths and hinder work experience and voting-age readiness, urging less restrictive measures to boost employment.
