Most of those who earn low wages are either teen-agers or other secondary earners spread rather evenly across the income distribution. While the single mother trying to support her child on a full-time minimum wage job is a better story, the 16-year-old hamburger-flipping student with college-educated and employed parents is a better fact. Only 23 percent of persons in the highest-income families do not work while 65 percent of the people in families with less than $10,000 of income do not have a job. The primary cause of low income, then, is no wages - not low wages. ncpa.org
