But with pay like that, the shop would be out of business, because the consumers won't shoulder the resulting high price of the cabinets.

Either the business finds a way to be much more efficient (e.g. producing cabinets much faster and selling wider) while paying the workers more, or it has to scrape by while employing some less fortunate folks. (Or shut down, or course.)

Isn't that the business model of most employers in the US?
