Less than 1% of workers are making minimum wage.
- ZoomerCretin 4y agoA person making $0.01 more than minimum wage is technically not making the minimum wage. Citing the percentage of people who make exactly the minimum wage is not a compelling argument for how many people are affected by it.
- seanmcdirmid 4y agoThat is technically true, but pragmatically, anywhere close to minimum wage is a joke these days, people just won't work for $7.25 or $7.26 an hour anymore in most places. Even in Vicksburg Mississippi, where I lived for a bit as a kid, a poor place, although not Yazoo poor, McDonalds is starting at $11/hour now.
