Higher minimum wage = more spending by people (people with low wages spend more of their money than the über rich ones who just keep their money in stocks/bank accounts etc.) which leads to more demand, more products sold, less crime, and is overall good for society. Temporarily, some jobs might go away as those businesses that rely on paying their workers a sub-livable wage are forced to restructure, but quickly enough, businesses will adjust, and voila, you'll have a better society.
