I think less than 1% of people make minimum wage. I wonder who takes minimum wage jobs, even in 2016. There were plenty of 10$/hr jobs. You'd almost have to look for them.

1.5% earn the federal minimum wage or less, down 0.4% from 2019. This excludes the workers in the 29 states (plus DC) with a higher state minimum wage. About 28% of the US workforce earns under $15 an hour.
