We are a diverse industry with so many different positions and so many different wage levels, it is very difficult to reach an average for the whole food service industry. For instance, 75% of those who are earning close to minimum wage are students. They're working part time. They are not full-time positions where they're trying to support a family. These people are often from high-income households and they are people who are working a limited number of hours while they're going to school.
You also have people who are earning close to minimum wage who are tip employees. As I mentioned earlier, they're making hundreds of additional dollars a week.
