I would not be surprised if the minimum wage is a large contributor to innovation. As the costs of running a business rise, business owners find cheaper ways to do things = innovation/automation.
Perhaps the business world should be thanking minimum wage, or perhaps the low income job world should be blaming minimum wage. Maybe both. Funny to think about.
