Not sure how they came up with that. Pew Research summarized data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics:

"People at or below the federal minimum are:

Disproportionately young: 50.4% are ages 16 to 24;

24% are teenagers (ages 16 to 19).

Mostly (77%) white; nearly half are white women.

Largely part-time workers (64% of the total)."
