A lot of economists argue that a minimum wage is not good for low level employees. What is a ground level empirical example of how a low skilled worker would benefit from there being no minimum wage?

As a basic rule of thumb you use a minimum wage to guarantee a certain minimum standard, the downside of this is that sometimes an employer might want to hire someone to do something, but doesn't think it's quite worth that minimum wage and would rather have his current employees work a bit of overtime, or have whatever he is lag a bit instead.

So practically speaking, you can have a minimum wage at the cost of having higher unemployment, this is generally agreed. What people don't agree over is exactly the ratio between the two, or what value to place on the two, so not many people agree on exactly where the line should be drawn.
