You don't know squat about Economics.
That is not the
only solution. There are many solutions, but you are too soft and weak and spoiled to implement some of them; you lack the political will to implement others; and you let your ideology prevent you from implementing still other solutions, because your ideology is more important than success.

You don't know anything about Economics.
And even that wouldn't be so bad, except you don't know anything about Foreign Policy, either.
You can prove to us that you know something about Economics, by explaining why US corporations
have no choice and must move jobs to other States.
Foreign Policy is not taught in high schools, so I'll explain so people can understand.
Classical Liberalism: two basic tenets.....Actors --- States, heads-of-State and such --- are basically good, and want to do the right thing and make the right choices. Collective Security helps Actors make the right choices and be good.
There were over a dozen Collective Security Organizations, you're probably familiar with the Warsaw Pact and NATO, but there was SEATO, ANZUS, OAS, OSAS, OCS etc etc etc.
As those organizations become defunct or useless by the 1980s, Classical Liberals, like George H. Bush, start asking, what will replace Collective Security?
Answer: Multi-National Corporations and Non-Governmental Organizations.
And those people like George H are called Neo-Liberal Institutionalists.
And so was Clinton, with his Washington Principles and this gem...
Chapter 4a, Article I—“The economy of Kosovo, shall function in accordance with free market
principles.”
That's from Clinton's Rambouillet Agreement.
I will tell you what Hillary told the Media not to tell you, and that is Kosovo consists of two provinces, Metohija in the West -- a mountainous province inhabited by Serbs, and Kosovo the East, a plateau inhabited by Serbs and Kosovars.
Underneath that plateau, it's a freaking Mineral & Ore Fest, sort of like Lazapolooza only different.
It has one of the largest known molybdenum deposits on Earth, which is good, since most of the precious little molybdenum that you have is in the oceans and impossible to get.
And an oil/natural gas pipeline. You all ought to know by now, where there's going to be a pipeline, you're going to be at war, like Afghanistan, Syria, Iran, South Sudan, Somalia, the DRC.
Anyway, instead of Collective Security, you send in the Multi-National Corporations.
The NGOs --Non-Governmental Organizations -- yes that would be the UN, WTO, Doctors Without Borders, Amnesty International and such, but that's not what I talking about.
When I say NGO, I'm talking about the ones like George W funded...in Egypt for example. Ostensibly to empower Egyptian women to seek elected offices in government, it was really a front to channel money to terror groups, funnel weapons, and spy.
These NGOs are how Clinton got you into the 5 Central Asian States, over-threw their governments and set up puppet-dictatorships so that UNOCAL, Chevron, Amoco and British Petroleum could take-over 75% of the oil, natural gas and mineral resources.
Free Trade Agreements.....another clever way of getting US Multi-National Corporations into States, with the NGOs following on.
What's the difference between George H, Clinton, George W and Obama?
No difference.

At the last hike in minimum wage, call-center jobs were off-shored. So were manufacturing jobs.

Assets increase in value, thereby increasing wealth...

The fact that you referred to "slave wages" is proof you don't understand Economics.
