I would predict that there is a lot of work that would otherwise be done, if minimum wage was lower, that simply will not be done at all. Or it'll be done under the table.

That's probably true; downvotes are inappropriate. On the other hand, there is also a lot of work that would be done if the economy gets more aggregate demand from low-wage workers.
