Minimum wage jobs were never intended to be a full time, able to live, off of job. Min wage jobs were supposed to be (and used to be) the jobs young people got to train them how to be productive and effective workers in the marketplace.

I don't know what minimum wage law you are referring to but the one passed in 1938 doesn't say anything about entry level and training.
The Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938[1] (abbreviated as FLSA; also referred to as the Wages and Hours Bill[2]) is a federal statute of the United States. The FLSA introduced the forty-hour work week,[3][4] established a national minimum wage,[5] guaranteed "time-and-a-half" for overtime in certain jobs,[6] and prohibited most employment of minors in "oppressive child labor", a term that is defined in the statute.[7] It applies to employees engaged in interstate commerce or employed by an enterprise engaged in commerce or in the production of goods for commerce,[8] unless the employer can claim an exemption from coverage.
Maybe time to lock this thread up and throw away the key:)
