Many businesses are built on exploiting their workers for low wages, of course it would hurt them.
How are they exploiting anyone? Businesses offer a certain job for a certain pay. It is up the to employee to accept the job or not. If they think they are being exploited, why would they accept the job?
Generally, businesses are not a charity for hard-up job seekers. They have a role to fill, pay for the skillset required for that role, and it is up to an applicant to take the job or not.
It is not exploitation and business owners do not have a social responsibility to make sure everyone can pay their bills, that is the responsibility of the employee. Pay too low? Work somewhere else. No skills? That sucks, but why should that fall on the business?
