I wonder if that was the excuse but realistically, they realized that was the true value of that position's or worker's wage? This isn't happening in a lot of sectors, and some sectors are going to get hit because others have raised minimums and that will make more quality entry level positions need a bump to get the quality candidates they're looking for.
