In fact, most mid and higher incomes remain relatively static in response to a minimum wage increases at the low end. This means that minimum wage increases get passed into the business owner and customer who do not usually agree to a higher price for the product.

In other words, minimum wage increases ultimately price the low wage worker entirely out of employment.
