Is there such a thing as a non-"artificial" minimum wage increase?
1 comments

Yes, there is. If market forces drive wages up, that's a non-artificial wage increase. Just like any other commodity, when labor is in high demand (or in low supply), the price goes up.
The OP asked for a non-artificial minimum wage increase. Not a simple "wage" increase. There is nothing non-artificial about a minimum wage, nor it's increase counterpart.
