Working fewer hours would make us more productive
The question was sarcastic (poor form, I know). More than 90% of workers earn above minimum wage, despite this supposedly inevitable race to the bottom.

Check out how many earn more than 150% of the minimum wage. Otherwise it's still minimum wage driven.

Or maybe the minimum wage is driven by real wages. Or maybe they're both by a common factor - like inflation.

Hmmm... I would say 100% of workers should earn above minimum wage, that's the whole point of the law. Right?

Well, the point of the law is to have all workers earning at least minimum wage, not necessarily above.
