[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 103249, member: 2189"] Here's some interesting facts from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics on the Minimum Wage worker. [B][SIZE=2][COLOR=black][/COLOR][/SIZE][/B][SIZE=2][COLOR=black][B][SIZE=2][/SIZE][/B] This and more can be found at: [url=http://www.bls.gov/cps/minwage2002.htm]Characteristics of Minimum Wage Workers: 2002[/url] I know the report above is 4 years old but that was the latest I could find and I doubt things have changed so much in the last 4 years that we've seen the increase to the number previously suggested. And also from the BLS the latest Labor Report of 7/7/06 concerning total number of US workers: [B][/B] That and more can be found at: [B][url=http://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.nr0.htm]Employment Situation Summary[/url][/B] The way I see it based on the numbers above and in one case they are dated numbers so I'll add that caveat, with 151 mil total US workforce with 2.2 mil being paid at or below min. wage then this works out to about 1.5% of total US workforce. Just some interesting facts that to be honest I had no idea on until I went and looked. Thanks Disneyworld for making the post that pushed me to go look!
