Without knowing how many people sit at the current level of what this mythical wage would be it is hard to predict how many jobs would be needed. What will happen though is these better equipped people will take the jobs from the ones who are only skilled to fit the minimum wage roles leaving those people jobless.
Honest question, can you not see any negative impact on the economy from raising minimum wage?
