Overall, minimum wage workers may only constitute 2.9% of workers, but my guess is that in Seattle the percentage that earn less than $15/hr. is quite a bit higher than that.
BTW, if a particular worker works three part-time jobs, two of them for the minimum, 15 hours a week each, and one for 15¢ above the minimum, 12 hours a week, how many minimum-wage workers does she count as for the purposes of these statistics? And how do we tell which of the rates she should get the two hours of overtime on? (Assuming a slightly fairer world.)
