wage, but it did not go as planned

In addition, why would an employer want to hire an inexperienced worker at
15 dollars an hour, especially when they must provide on the job training.
They are going to want experienced workers, to make their investment more
worthwhile.
Raising the minimum wage will hurt the inexperienced workers hardest, as I
said. Fight for fiteen just does not make economic sense.
