The other side of this is that the low-pay employers complaining about this are also just flat out lying. Apply to the jobs they post, and it'll turn out it's not full-time at minimum wage - it's "10 hours a week, scheduled whenever I want" at minimum wage.
Nobody wants to work that job, because that job doesn't pay enough to live off, and having your hours randomly moved around (i.e. the well known phenomenon of employer retaliation by not giving someone any hours in a week but not firing them) screws with your ability to pick up any other work, or look after children or anything else.
This is before we even get to the disparity between rent, cost of living and minimum wage in most (possibly by now all?) areas in the US.
