Not necessarily. As just one example, it could mean one of their family immigrated for a well paying job, and now they want their parents, or other family, to join them and they don’t have skills in a high paying industry.

The presence of low income wage earners does not, by force of nature nor economics, require them.

Having said that, I tend to against minimum wage policy.
