Less minimum wage should be tied to inflation, more minimum wage should be tied to congressional salary. (Some multiplier, because they do need to live in two places)
I’d prefer tying the salary (including bonuses, assets, and everything) to the lowest paid wages in the nation. The greater the difference, the lower the public salary; the smaller the difference, the higher.
Or ditch the minimum wage and implement a Universal Basic Income (UBI) at the Federal level (or State level!!). If there’s UBI, the minimum wage doesn’t have to be there which technically could make labor more competitive in general, plus you don’t have to rely on your job to get your basic needs met.

The minimum wage and congressional salary should be the same thing.
