Almost noone in the US makes the federal minimum wage. You should look at local median wages if you want a relevant comparison.

I wasn't making a comparison. I was just providing information.

It's about 1.3% of hourly waged workers who are at or below the minumum wage according to the BLS. That number is probably propped up though by the fact that only ~20 states have a minimum wage equal to the federal minimum and most of those are lower population states. After Texas the next largest state with a 7.25 minimum is Pennsylvania then Georgia.
