If a business has to pay more for each person, there are less people that they can afford to hire. This leads to greater unemployment.

A mandated minimum wage would require employers to pay more for low-skilled or inexperienced workers than they are worth to employers in terms of productivity - the only terms that matter.
Rather than employ any low skill worker, I will employ mid- or high-skill workers at market wages, leaving the young, inexperienced, and under educated unemployed. In the US that is EXACTLY what happens: young workers, especially Black youth are unemployable at minimum wage
It is a positive statement.
There is no formula to determine minimum wage. Minimum wage is based on a few things such as inflation, unemployment rate, and cost of living. The main person who determines minimum wage is mainly determined by the sponsor of the wage bill.

Unemployment will rise.
An increase in the minimum wage would mean that employers would have to pay some employees more. If the company is already struggling to make ends meet, an increase in the minimum wage might result in layoffs because the company is unable to pay the new required wage rate.

Minimum wage laws affect employees who earn the minimum wage as well as business who pay the minimum wage to its employees. Increasing the minimum wage improves the quality of life for those who earn at or near the minimum wage, however, it can cause businesses to hire less employees or reduce staffing levels. That leads to higher unemployment for unskilled workers, who are the people that generally earn minimum wage. Those who earn minimum wage are probably most directly impacted by minimum wage laws. The laws also change the behavior of businesses by affecting staffing levels or passing cost increases on to their customers.
Econ 101. (simplified version) Raising the minimum wage rate would more likely than not, increase the crime rate. By increasing the minimum wage, employers will be able to hire fewer workers. At the macro level, fewer workers hired will net an increase in unemployment rates. As unemployment rates increase, so too do crime rates.
Because some employers are unwilling or unable to afford to pay the minimum wage and therefore do not hire and reduce the unemployment line.

Perhaps, It states something true. Once the minimum wage rises then we come to hypothesis that the prices of goods will go up in following manner. Prices rise mean that it will suffer the demand in goods and services of household. Consequently, firm will sell less their product ( goods and services). So that, they will try to cut down their expenditure which will somehow lead to cut employees. As a result of that, unemployment increases. As you see that the youth who acquires not enough with skill, virtue -more or less- will be the first victim in sacking trend of firm in reducing cost. That's why, minimum wage increases unemployment young and unskilled workers.
