Workers toiling at the $7.25 federal minimum wage or less tend to be young, female, single and lacking a high school diploma.

We see that way to often. People apply for a job with NO high school diploma. From an employers point of view this is the first red flag. Almost always our HR manager won't go any further. A highschool education is free. And when a person declines to do the bare minimum of even graduating, why would we take a chance on them?
In fact we rarely do take a chance. Companies have to spend money on training. It's not free anymore. I have told more than one young man go back and at least get a GED. Show us that you are motivated to improve your life. Most mumble under their breath... eff off...
