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

Minimum wage is important in a capitalist economy in order to protect employees from exploitative labour practices and make sure that no one is not earning enough to survive. It ensures that workers get paid enough to live decently, as determined by market conditions and demographics. Setting a minimum wage also helps to even out the distribution of wealth, as high earners would not benefit as much from a decrease in wages compared to low earners. Ultimately, while the amount someone is paid may depend on the market, governments need to be mindful of setting a fair wage for workers.
