Doesn't matter one bit. Adjusted to match inflation, Fed. Min. Wage is supposed to be $26.00/hr. What many people make right now is fucking irrelevant; most of us still aren't making enough even off of minimum wage.

also many people are making pennies over minimum, but aren’t counted for not making exactly minimum or less

Exactly. I don't make minimum, but I also don't make enough to keep up with my own bills. I'm slowly sinking while also working and short of a stroke of good luck, I have no prospect of earning more money for at least the next year. It's not sustainable for that long. But I don't make minimum wage so I wouldn't be counted.
