Increasing the minimum wage can have both positive and negative effects on the economy and workforce. On one hand, it can boost consumer spending and reduce income inequality. However, it may also lead to job losses, higher prices for goods and services, and potential automation of low-wage jobs. The overall impact depends on various factors such as the size of the increase and the state of the economy.
