And of course most of those 1 out of 86 don't support themselves, let alone a family on it. Many minimum wage jobs are part time jobs, held by young people, or 2nd jobs with another income bearing the main burden of supporting a family.

And many are held by illegals.....that's why we've been able to keep the minimum wage low. In other words, its a 'subsidized/artificial' minimum wage.....something you abhor.
