Let me list a few barriers:

The high minimum wage that knocks out the first several rungs from the bottom of the ladder;
The high payroll tax that robs employees and employers of resources;
The laws that threaten firms with lawsuits should the employee be fired;
The laws that established myriad conditions for hiring beyond the market-based condition that matters: can he or she get the job done?;
The unemployment subsidy in the form of phony insurance that pays people not to work;
The high cost of business start-ups in the form of taxes and mandates;
The mandated benefits that employers are forced to cough up for every new employee under certain conditions;

The withholding tax that prevents employers and employees from making their own deals;
The age restrictions that treat everyone under the age of 16 as useless;
The social security and income taxes that together devour nearly half of contract income;
The labor union laws that permit thugs to loot a firm and keep out workers who would love a chance to offer their wares for less.
