Correct, they make around $1 above minimum—~$8.45 on average—which is around $2 above poverty wage…
Even $15/h isn’t enough to survive in a non-rotting apartment, unless you walk to work, don’t eat any healthy nutritious foods, and give up on any and all hobbies/interests.

$15/hr is $30k/year, and an enormous amount of people live on that. Median income in my state is 31k/year.
