While there is validity to it, supply and demand will address it in the long run.
You're wrong and in your own post you list exactly why.
Supply and demand.
This wage signifies a larger trend in the market where there is a massive abundance of supply in the labor pool driving down wages.

It was verified by the TV where the information came from, no need for fact checking.

$13 an hour for the responsibilities of lead inspection of quality control already means that wages have been reduced, with out the correlating cost of living coming down.
so is 9 million or so illegals and to suggest that here's a high percentage of 'skilled' labor in that crowd is beyond laughable.

I know. My company did the same thing to us. A $20/hr position reduced down to $13. Thankfully, I was grandfathered in, but a few years later, the work environment became so overwhelming and unpleasant that everyone pretty much quit and customers left. When I left, they begged me to stay because they couldn't find anyone who would fill the position for such a low wage. It won't be long before they're bought out. They already told us that (along with how expendable we where to them). So what goes around really does come around, but it usually works better and faster when government isn't trying to play righteous judge.
