Minimum wage employees aren't earning minimum wage because they are unaware other jobs pay more, they're earning minimum wage because they're unable to get those jobs. At that end of the market the pay rates are generally pretty transparent anyway, because there's no negotiation and no "10x dishwasher" that the company worries about deterring if they disclose what the existing staff earn.
