Not true.
If there's enough demand, higher prices results in increased profits for the business that is selling things and higher costs can be passed on to the consumer

True. But it still goes back to the current situations, increased costs without increased demand does not create jobs.
IOW, demand is what creates jobs, but you just can't come out and say it.
And if demand stays constant, increased costs for someone means increased profits for the business that supplie that someone. However, increased profits do not lead to the creation of jobs if demand does not increase.
