Google tells us this:

"The percentage of hourly paid workers earning the prevailing federal
minimum wage or less declined from 2.7 percent in 2016 to 2.3 percent in
2017. This remains well below the percentage of 13.4 recorded in 1979,
when data were first collected on a regular basis."

So, what's all the noise about?

How many people are making a nickel over minimum wage? Or
a dollar over minimum wage?

Or are making minimum wage but only part-time.
