Skill set and market demand have little to do with wages, especially in the context of the last 20-50 years. Automation will replace workers making $7.25 or less and it will replace a significant amount of construction workers, administrators, and others whose skill sets are considered more advanced.

Minimum wages are an admittedly far less effective solution than Employee Stock Option Plans or DAO's but the general public is also far more aware of them. Perhaps working to educate workers facing displacement regarding the opportunities in decentralization would be more helpful than blaming them for fighting for better wages.
