Well, minimum wage is actually pretty low in my opinion. A person working 40 hour weeks on minimum wage cannot support them self.
I don't understand. Why does a minimum wage effect youth employment?

Wow talk about the article going right OVER YOUR HEAD. He stated clearly in the OP that 98% of people working over 40 hours a week make more than minimum wage. Minimum wage is teenagers and part time people, not head of households trying to support a family. Look at the numbers.

It's out of work adults moving into jobs that used to be held by teens. McD's now has more senior employees than ever.
It's not the minimum wage, it's job outsourcing and unemployment among the older work force that has them taking the jobs from teens and twenty-somethings.

Here's the deal. I employ 10 people. Non get minimum wage. Our total sales are down 10% this year. I'm not hiring anyone new, no minimum wage, nobody. If for example minimum wage was $4.50 or so an hour I might be hire one or 2 teens to do cleanup and aid work. Maybe, but I'd have to think long and hard.
