Top 10 Worst “Accomplishments” of the American Labor Movement

1. The Minimum Wage

The minimum wage is the single biggest achievement of the Labor Movement. Thanks to the minimum wage, unskilled laborers throughout the United States are not able to find work. By pricing labor too high, the minimum wage keeps the least skilled workers in the US from finding a job, while simultaneously creating a black market for illegal aliens who work at less than minimum wage. Every time the minimum wage rises, more Americans lose their jobs. If you are wondering what happened to all the opportunities for entry-level workers, you can thank the Labor Movement!
