> Less than 1% of workers make minimum wage.

federal minimum wage, which is lower than many, many states, so stating this is a little misleading. It's also at or around 1% (for federal), not less - per this 2023 source: https://www.bls.gov/opub/reports/minimum-wage/2023/

In states like california, this number is much higher: https://lao.ca.gov/Publications/Report/4878/3
