What would more likely happen is the cost would be built into the products and services sold.


It's like waiting staff.  A good friend of mine is a waitress at a restaurant.  She makes $2.15/hour + tips.  She relies on people being generous to supplement her wages.  Of course some people don't tip, and others tip poorly.  But they don't realize if the restaurant had to pay her $7.15/hour that:


A. She probably wouldn't work there to start with, because that's not enough money to do a job like waiting tables (which can be backbreaking work, and dealing with crappy customers.  She'd much rather get a job at a grocery store or something like that if she were paid that much)


B. The cost would be built into the food.
