It's about 1.3% of hourly waged workers who are at or below the minumum wage according to the BLS. That number is probably propped up though by the fact that only ~20 states have a minimum wage equal to the federal minimum and most of those are lower population states. After Texas the next largest state with a 7.25 minimum is Pennsylvania then Georgia.
