A simple Economics lesson says if there more product, it costs less from competition. If the producers pay more, they have less to work with. They lessen their profit making ability by paying more. Unskilled work isn't worth $15 hr.

Start from the top cutting their money and distributing more the lower we go

If you earn more you can spend more, therefore increase production and profit.

Perhaps if the minimum wage were lowered ,it would create more hours per day.

Maybe perhaps,the minimum wage was raised a little to high and should be lowered slightly creating possibly more hours of work for the employees.
