> how do we know if $10 is the right price or too low?

We don't. It's the market's job to determine the wage. If the wage is too low, then businesses won't be able to find the people they need.

Or complain that "no one is willing to work".

That’s the worst excuse that I think the vocal uneducated minority use. I wish it would stop though.
You're making an assumption there that the educational/opportunity systems in the country aren't designed specifically to feed these jobs in particular.
