If somebody is commanding high profit margins in a locale it seems obvious that raising minimum wages could have benefits for most people. Given the examples in the US of wage increases largely happening in high CoL, high earning cities though, is it likely to be the case that applying the same playbook to less advantaged communities will have the same effects? In particular, would you not expect that a typical rural community has businesses with low margins and thus couldn't afford wage increases without major changes somewhere?
