forget the proper ratio of min to median ...how about a minimum wage nominal floor lifter

i think we might look at this hypothetical system

we set not a minimum hourly wage rate
but design an algorithm
that lifted the minimum wage
by cpi plus n% a year
n to be some thing like 10%
how would wage share in gdp develop
if the system
was driving the nominal bottom up up up ?


this is not to slight in any way
the static question
what is the optimal min to median ratio ?

 just  in addition
    let's  consider
the change in the price system
the operating mark ups
if firms ...even firms
that never pay as low as
the minimum to any hires...
what if they knew they faced this relentless nominal wage push coming at them
from the bottom up
