Here's a favorite lie the rightwingers love too..... Myth #1: Minimum wage jobs are primarily for teenagers or part-time workers who are just trying to score some extra cash. This myth is one that has been parroted by politicians -- including a 2016 presidential candidate. In terms of the age of minimum wage workers, 88 percent are age 20 or older. On top of that, nearly 250,000 hold college degrees, and more than 50 percent work full-time. According to a 2014 Pew Research Center report -- minimum wage workers are also 77 percent white and nearly 50 percent of them are white women. A lot of those holding college degrees are thought to be unemployable attorneys.
