Nonsense. It is NOT the minimum wage jobs that are going to China. Burger
flippers are still in demand, as are counter jumpers at any number of big
boxes. The guys and gals who can't find jobs are those who made 11-12 bucks an
hour and up. Mostly up.

Besides, the flight to China didn't gain steam until several years after the
most current raise to a munificent $5.15 an hour.
