...Yes, the median age is 24; but it is easy to see that most of these workers are kids.... It means that HALF of them are over 24 years of age....hardly a kid unless you count brain dead unemployable nitwits like the posters here! (I think we need to see employment stats for attorneys. I know there is a glut of shysters but do you think a lot of those are now flippin' burgers? Maybe they can't even do that and just while away their time on the internet yap boards.)

According to that graph, only 4% of minimum wage workers are 16. He claimed 100% so he is off by a factor of 24. By the standards of most of his posts, he is actually closer than usual. Now, to your post. According to this washingtonpost.com 74% of men and 64% of women age 18 still live at home. For the 19-24 group those numbers are down to 50% and 42% respectively. I suppose you can assume that all of the minimum wage earners live at home, but the odds are against it.
