Minimum Wage: CreditDonkey Presents Portrait of a Minimum-Wage Worker
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) July 21, 2013 -- In a recent infographic, CreditDonkey.com puts a positive spin on minimum-wage jobs and the number of people looking for such work – mainly students and new graduates – increases. By compiling data about minimum wage statistics and trends across the country in one place, CreditDonkey.com has developed a new portrait of U.S. minimum wage workers and the work they do.
“Many students’ first work experience is at a job paying minimum wage,” said Charles Tran, founder of CreditDonkey.com, a credit card comparison and financial education website. “The pay is not great, but these jobs are a way for them to get started in the working world and help finance their education.”
Highlights of the infographic include:
• Demographics of minimum wage earners
• The states with the lowest-paying jobs, and the ones with minimum wages higher than the federal level
• The industries with the most minimum wage jobs
• Common education levels for low-wage workers
This feature shows how gender, education, and age affect the likelihood that someone will earn minimum wage or less. It also shows what kinds of jobs pay low wages and whether such jobs are common.
“There’s actually a lot to learn from a minimum-wage job, particularly for young people who have little experience beyond their home or school life,” Tran said. “Even for students who want to go into a very different industry once they’ve finished school, there are fundamental job skills to learn at these entry-level jobs.”
