Unfortunate, but true.  A 32%+ shock to labour costs will have the paradoxical effect of deepening the wage gap:  low-skill workers will have hours reduced or be laid off; diligent, skilled workers may see a boost (better value to give such a worker a boost in pay and duties), and the use of technology becomes far more attractive.

Does a business pay ~$100K/year fully encumbered for 3 minimum wage staff or buy a $75K machine once that doesn't call in sick, doesn't need leave and doesn't demand a raise.

Not every job is or should be intended for one to support a family.  Entry level roles are entry level for a reason.
