I know this is being overly reductive, but I think it sort of boils down to not enough minimum wage workers that vote and everyone else either not caring about low-wage workers, being held hostage by "right to work" (means you can get fired any time for any reason) laws, or relying on job hopping for wage increase.
I have seen companies turn down good candidates for jobs too many times, as a result of speculating that the candidate is too good (they'll expect to get paid more). You don't even have to ask for high wages, you have to dumb down your resume and underplay yourself at some point if you want to be considered for a majority of non-junior roles these days, just so you get a shot at an actual interview and low-ball offer.

Are you talking about low wage workers, or minimum wage workers? The minimum wage is so low that only 1-2% of workers earn minimum wage.
