They raise wages if you have domestic producers ready to step in to replace the tariffed goods and if those companies pass on some of their new profits to their employees. US companies don't exactly have a good track record of that.

Having more jobs raises wages through competition for workers. Markets don’t require generosity of heart in order to serve people.
