Young people are leaving their jobs in record numbers and not going back

I think an interesting datapoint in this discussion is that the second fastest growing subreddit (behind /r/announcements) is /r/antiwork.

There seems to be pretty strong sentiment out there that the minimum wage American worker is not being compensated correctly.

The market is supposed to fix this by adding wage growth and maybe it will.

Seems to be? It has been obvious for at least 30+ years (my life).

The upper middle and top deciles of the US have had a really good run for the past few decades on the backs of the lower middle and bottom deciles of the US. ACA was probably the first legislation I saw to help those are the bottom (i.e. a wealth transfer).

it will, if the lack of workers in jobs continue. Unless there's some other force at work preventing the market from correcting...
