Yes it does. Problem is, people working in minimum wage feel like they're being underpaid in an economy where vertain commodities are pretty expensive. I somewhat agree with the OP. While a dramatic increase of the minimum wage would do more harm overall than good, those workers shouldn't be exploited either. Also, if a wage increase is necessary, it shouldn't be skyrocketed to $15 out of the blue.
