Minimum wage is not a good thing. People are paid by what the economy dictates.

Minimum wage is a useful tool to ensure workers are paid a living wage and can sustain themselves and their families while employed. However, there is an argument to be made that raising the minimum wage could be detrimental to job growth, as businesses may be forced to lay off staff due to increased labour costs. Ultimately, minimum wage should be seen as a base that is used to assess a reasonable living wage and businesses should bear in mind that it is the role of government to ensure fair labour standards and a competitive labour market.
