evidence: Race and Hispanic or Latino ethnicity. The percentage of hourly paid workers with wages at or below the federal minimum differed little among the major race and ethnicity groups. White, Black, Asian, and Hispanic workers each had about 1 percent of workers who earned the federal minimum wage or less. (See table 1.) [...] Full- and part-time status. About 3 percent of part-time workers (people who usually work fewer than 35 hours per week) were paid the federal minimum wage or less, compared with about 1 percent of full-time workers. (See table 1.) [...] State of residence. The states with the highest percentages of hourly paid workers earning at or below the federal minimum wage were mostly in the South. Compared with recent years, a relatively large number of states had less than 1 percent of hourly paid workers earning at or below the federal minimum wage: Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Montana, Nevada, New York, Oregon, South Dakota, and Washington. It should be noted that more than half of all states have minimum wages that exceed the federal minimum. (See tables 2 and 3.)
