I think that you are missing a couple of important aspects of this for the left.
If you raise the minimum wage... you also raise their income taxes, not by rate but by total value. Since these people pay Socialist Stupidity Taxes as on every dime of their income, and the higher the withholding.
Second is “prevailing wage” in union contracts which is a multiple of the minimum, which also effects public sector contracting that use prevailing wages to the contractors. So it’s also a sop to the unions.

I was with the state unemployment office for a long time, so I’m well aware of those factors.
