Well, it may depend from state to state, but from my own experience raising minimum wage never solved or even reduced financial problems in my country. It has only political marketing effect instead of practical effect in citizens lives. Actually a minimum wage isn't enough to live anywhere I suppose. A minimum wage here is about 200$ dollars and someone can't afford home, food and another basic expenses with such amount of fiat, but the minimum wage keeps increasing every new year...
In my opinion rather than increasing wages the living costs should decrease and that is possible through technology advancement and adoption, like alternative sources of energy, for an example. But the government doesn't look very interested in this kind of political platform.
The minimum wage increases are just a political move and nothing more and it will continue to do so unless you could afford a normal life with that wage, as I have said before the markets decide what it is the value of things, and just like the price of bitcoin the value of our time is decided by the market, minimum wage is an attempt to create a floor for the value of human labour but the more they raise this for things that the market does not believe are worth it you will see alternative solutions being employed, so at the end those that are supposedly being helped by this measure will not be as businesses find ways to avoid paying for it.
