Seattle’s minimum wage makes it hard for employers to add part time temporary help. In a perfect world we small businesses would have a young, part time worker for all the right reasons during the summer or after school. The young worker benefits the most quite naturally, and the employer gets a chance to identify talent in the entry level pool of workers. When a young person is connected to their community by their home, school AND job they might be a better neighbor. But $20 per hour is quite an investment on the part of the employer for unskilled labor, and probably explains why few of us do it. But a kid at a job is a kid making a difference, for himself and his community.
