The percentage of civil servants in the local workforce probably also has an effect. If only 2% of people are civil servants or otherwise receiving an indexed wage, then other factors may dominate. But if a large number of people are civil servants / receiving an indexed wage, then positive feedback might dominate.

There isn’t a strong feedback effect, though. We know this because there are areas that have large civil servant populations.

Secondly, we’re talking about minimum wage, not all wages.
