I looked at that as well and for the most part, he uses the stats to skew reality...

It takes 5 minimum wage jobs + 1 $111,800/year job to have an average wage of $15/hour.. so regardless, it still means that most of the new jobs are low or minimum wage jobs. i.e. 83% of the jobs would be minimum wage in that instance... Another example... 3 $10/hr jobs and 1 $63k/year job is around $15/hour.. so 75% low wage jobs.
