Stop spreading the of-repeated lie, disproven with every minimum wage increase that hasn't hurt employment or the economy, that increasing pay kills jobs. There have been several increases in the minimum wage (but a horrifically long gap in it going up over a couple decades), and not once has this triggered an economic downturn.

Seattle recently started a significant increase in the minimum wage that will eventually hit $15/hour over a couple of years. The effect on the city's economy and jobs? Not much, actually doing a little better. https://www.washingtonpost.com/post...at-its-supposed-to-do/?utm_term=.ba702cae11d2
