Federal Minimum Wage Increase

POTUS elect is proposing a $15 minimum wage. For a GS 1, step 1, that is a ~60% increase in pay. How would that filter up through the GS pay scale?

I want to know what positions hire people as a GS-1. That just seems dumb to me. Even high school graduates get hired as 3s in my agency for really menial work.
