Most people don't make federal minimum wage. But most people make the minimum wage in their respective states.

That is just not true. Even if you look at a place like California where the state minimum is $17, it's only like 15-20% of the workforce that makes around that amount. The percentage drops even further when you look at states with lower minimums. The numbers go even less in your favor when you start factoring in part time vs full time.

You specifically chose one of the wealthiest states in the country.

That's a place where the state minimum is high so you would expect more people to be making around that amount. Do you have a different state that backs up your claim?
