What has happened since the introduction of the minimum wage is that many employers, who were paying their workforce a wage higher than the minimum, found an excuse to get rid of them and then took on new workers at the minimum wage.

I don’t suppose that anyone has considered this but if we are to have a minimum wage, which we have, the logical progression from that is to have a MAXIMUM wage.
