evidence: Workers of color are more likely to experience minimum wage violations than white workers, as shown in Figure E. Roughly 5 percent of black workers and Hispanic workers are paid less than the minimum wage, compared with only 3.5 percent of white workers. This is partly a function of the fact that people of color are disproportionately represented among low-wage workers (Cooper 2015; Wilson & Rodgers 2016). Nevertheless, white workers still make up the largest share (47.1 percent) of workers experiencing minimum wage violations. [...] Workers with less education are more likely to experience minimum wage violations than workers with a bachelor’s degree or higher. This is largely because workers with lower educational attainment make up a disproportionate share of low-wage workers. Figure G shows that nearly 9 percent of workers with less than a high school diploma are paid below the minimum wage, compared with 4.5 percent of high school graduates, 4.3 percent of workers with some college experience, and only 1.9 percent of workers with a bachelor’s degree or higher. The vast majority of workers suffering minimum wage violations (86.0 percent) do not have a college degree.
