Good job in pointing out this huge flaw in this study. Every minimum wage job I ever worked required me to have a vehicle to get to and from that job. That means that every minimum wage job out there where you need to pay for transportation to get to it is paying below minimum wage as the end the day. Those who live in cities have the benefit of public transportation but also have the time cost of being slower and reduces the number of waking hours they can earn money. What's the hours lost commuting averaged across and subtracted against the number of worked?
