Long term, those things - higher wages, better benefits, etc - are a net plus for a business. Employees who are paid and perked properly tend to be happier and give better service. It also reduces tardiness, absenteeism and (most importantly) turnover, and attracts better applicants. Given that it costs in the neighbourhood of $5K to add a single new employee, it’s in the boss’s best interest to make the available job as attractive as possible.
Yes, companies hire people to make money. Not surprisingly, people go to work for the same reason.

You are talking about people for which minimum wage is not an issue - the well educated and motivated.
Until of course you raise minimum wage so high that it puts the slackjawed idiots into the same pay scale.
Idiots and slackers should not be well compensated
You pay a doorstop, doorstop wages.
Why are these people having trouble with that concept?
