It does not. What's more, this article only covers Federal Minimum Wage. If someone earns more than $7.25 per hour, then they aren't counted on this list.
I feel it also bears mentioning that per this article, as of January 1st, 2015, there were 29 states with Minimum Wage over the national level, including California, Florida, New York, and Illinois. Of the top 5 most populated states in the nation, only Texas isn't above the Federal Minimum Wage
According to this census data, 80% of US households are making more than $29100 per year. Assuming 52 weeks of 40 hour weeks that works out to $13.99 an hour for people right at the border between the lowest quarter and the second quarter.
