When the guy making $7.25 now has to get $8.25, what happens to the guy making $8.25 now?

Is he going to be content making the same as the new guy who has no experience? If he's raised to $9.25, what of the guy who was was making $9.25, will he be content earning the same as the guy with lesser experience and skills? Can libs explain how this is not inflationary?
