Before you post your touchy-feely minimum wage crybaby crap, here are some FACTS:

0.8% of Workers Are Over 29 and Earn Minimum Wage or Less

(CNSNews.com) - A majority of the Americans who worked for the minimum wage or less in 2013 were 24 years old or younger, according to data released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and only 0.8 percent of American workers were 29 or older and worked for the minimum wage or less.

A supermajority of 67.5 percent who earned the minimum wage or less in 2013, according to BLS, worked in what the government calls the “Leisure and Hospitality” industry. This includes restaurants, bars, hotels, theatres, amusement parks and other facilities catering to people pursuing recreational activities.

Workers who get tips on the job can be paid less than the legal minimum wage if their combined wages and tips exceed the minimum wage.
