People work more than one job because they do not earn enough money at one job to live.
Pay them more in one job and they will not work the second, opening it up for someone else to work.
The demand already exists but it is filled.
You get tax breaks because money needed for social services goes down as unemployment goes down.
edit: Also note Smooth's description of the gains in productivity due to happier/more fulfilled workers.
