Clearly, business owners still have access to low income labor, otherwise there would be no one serving the tables or collecting the garbage. If employers can't find staffing, they can raise wages to make their job offers more attractive.
I don't think the problems you stated exist.

- onlyrealcuzzo 4y agoPedantic - but contrary to popular belief, sanitation workers are not paid minimum wage - they start at $40k and get paid >$83k after 5 1/2 years: https://www1.nyc.gov/assets/dsny/site/resources/press-releases/become-a-new-york-city-sanitation-worker-for-your-community-for-your-family-for-you https://www1.nyc.gov/assets/dsny/site/resources/press-releas... This, with a pretty good pension. Comparing sanitation workers to low paid service workers (WITHOUT a pension) is like comparing apples to oranges.
- itake 4y agoValid point. I only mentioned the sanitation workers b/c the original author did.
