Here 'ya go.

The table also shows that minimum wage workers are concentrated in the retail trade industry and underrepresented in the higher-paying manufacturing sector. An analysis by occupation reveals that those affected by the increase are concentrated in female-dominated occupations such as cashiers and food preparation. Minimum-wage workers are also the least likely group of workers to be represented by unions.

There is also a discussion of geography and a table.

State-level results
Table 2 shows by state the number and share of workers affected by the proposed increase. [4] As expected, states with lower wage levels, such as those in the Southern region, have larger-than-average shares of workers affected by the increase. In Louisiana (17.3%), West Virginia (15.3%), Arkansas (14.3%), and Mississippi (13.7%), relatively large shares of the workforce would be expected to benefit from the increase. Some Western states, such as Montana (14.5%), Wyoming (12.0%), and New Mexico (12.2%), also have relatively large shares of workers that would be affected by the proposed increase.

Re: geography. When I brought up the issue in repsonse to your initial inquiry I wanted to give you my gut feeling which was the "South" would be most greatly affected...But I know how sensitive you are <ggg>. So there you have it. And I guess so does Les in regards to the female thing.
