The market sets the wages! Low unemployment rate = high demand for workers = higher wages for workers. McDonalds and Walmart are hiring at over $10/hr. 33% over minimum wage.... and they still cannot find help! So eventually they will have to offer more $$$/hr. We, as consumers, will see this cost increase passed on in the pricing.

That is the way a Free Market system works!
