Raising the minimum wage will simply decrease the number of those employed at those wages. The math is simple, and this economic "law" is undeniable.

So, SOME workers who haven't lost their jobs will benefit from this. Others will be harmed because instead of being paid low wages, they will be paid no wages.

IMO, this action will solve nothing. It will just move hardship from one person to another. You don't fix a sinking ship by putting a hole in the other side.
