Raising the minimum wage can help improve the standard of living for low-income workers by providing them with higher wages to meet their basic needs. This can reduce poverty levels and stimulate economic growth as workers have more money to spend, boosting consumer demand. Additionally, it can reduce income inequality and help bridge the gap between the rich and the poor.
