I don't understand how people don't understand this. If I'm working at a company as skilled labor and the unskilled labor gets a 2w% raise, I'm not going to continue to work for the same amount. It's the simplest economic concept that exists.

And were ignoring the fact that the typically largest expense in production just rose over 20%, and people will bitch when the prices go up.
