Not to mention the under-16s.

And under 18s and under 21s thanks to the disparity in the national minimum wage, and with apprentice and training schemes.

There are three levels of minimum wage, and the rates from 1 October 2008 are:

£5.73 per hour for workers aged 22 years and older
A development rate of £4.77 per hour for workers aged 18-21 inclusive
£3.53 per hour for all workers under the age of 18, who are no longer of compulsory school age.

Wow.  That's terrible.  I was making more than that -- about 30% more, actually -- when I was hired at my first job.  And I was still at compulsory school age.

And that was ten years (and a fair bit of inflation) ago.
