A Free Market Economy always adjusts because there is a certain demand for qualified labor in all positions. When the wages for those who flip hamburgers matches or exceeds those who are doing other labor, a chain reaction takes place which goes from bottom to top... over a period of several years, fortunately for Socialist Democrats this usually happens in time for an election cycle, everyone has had a pay increase to restore the balance to the Free Market labor pool, and once again we hear that the minimum wage must be raised yet again.
