Study Shows Jobs for Teens Reduces Crime...

A.J. Van Slyke emails:
I thought you might find this article about a study, conducted in Chicago on Urban Teenage Employment and its effects on violent crime, fascinating and useful. Of course, nothing will shock you in the article, except for the fact that once presented with the evidence the author does not conclude that the minimum wage should be abolished. She neglects to even bring it up.

  1. Rahm is running a series of campaign ads centering on a lady earning 8.25 and how bumping that up to $13 eventually will give her 'a shot at the middle class'.wonder if anybody will will check out how she's doing in couple years time, long after Rahm has gone back to DC.
