Letter


To my constituents in Allenstown, Epsom, and Pittsfield:
There’s been a lot of controversy about my minimum wage bill lately. I was quoted as saying that young people aren’t worth the minimum wage. That’s true, but incomplete: most aren’t worth it, not on account of their age, but because they have no experience and often few skills. A person of any age who is looking for his first job is not worth very much to an employer, unless they have a specific skill and can prove it. The more the employer has to pay such a person, and the harder it is to fire him if he is unsuitable, the less willing the employer will be to take a risk on a new hire.


Once teenagers get that first job, and have proven that they’re worth it, they can earn more, either with raises and promotions, or by changing employers - it’s always easier to get a job if you already have one. But they need to get into the system first, and a higher minimum wage makes it harder to do so.


In the United States, teen unemployment has increased steadily with the minimum wage; every 10% increase in the minimum wage cuts youth employment by 3.2%. Youth with specific skills (lifeguards or computer hackers, for example) or connections (family or friends who run businesses) can get jobs, but it’s very difficult for most others. Many entry level jobs that used to require high school education now want a college degree, making it harder to work one’s way through college.


I strongly support everyone who wants to work being able to get a job and to be paid what he’s worth, regardless of age.

Epsom Public Library


Liz Robinson, of Epsom, will present the first adult program of the fall, “Beginning Couponing,” on Wednesday, September 14, at 7:00 p.m. at the library.  Liz began couponing less than a year ago after observing some of her coworkers actively pursuing the activity.  She will present many ideas to beginners, including such topics as where to get the coupons, notable web sites, conducting a sample transaction, stockpiling, and organizational tips.  The program is definitely geared toward beginners only.  “The avid, experienced couponer is not going to learn anything new,” Liz said.


The Book Club will meet on Wednesday, September 21, at 7:00 p.m. to discuss HONOLULU, by Alan Brennert.  Anyone wishing to join in the discussion is invited to pick up a copy of the book at the front desk of the library.


The Knitting Group meets every Tuesday evening at 6:30.  However, the group is not limited to knitters only.  If you enjoy quilting, crocheting, needlepoint, etc., perhaps you would like to join the group for an evening of handwork and sociability.
