Hi Leland!
Once upon a time, raising the minimum actually did create unemployment.
The last few times it didn't, but they still fear it might.
Of course, most all people nowadays already get at least $7.15, and they
can't live on that. The effective minimum is the level below which *no*
one will work. This is usually higher than the legal minimum, nowadays.

Pete
