Arguably this is more true in shipping than other disciplines. There are great economies of scale in shipping, and drivers/operators will be required regardless of wage. importing goods from low-cost areas, transporting goods with underpaid workers, and selling them in minimum wage stores doesn't seem like a great business model.

Do shoes need to cost $20 or do the workers need to be paid $20/hr to afford $60 locally produced shoes?
