No, but google will show you the stats. And labor costs (including benefits and matching govt. funds) are anywhere from 40% to 60% (the U.S. post office is on the high end of that) for a business.
But you wouldn't know that. lol
Here's something else you don't know...Restaurant and bar workers don't make the federal minimum wage either.
According to you, they would be "living in poverty" because that's how the govt.'s stats would show them.
REALITY: A good bartender can pull down $500 a night in tips, so can a hot girl who is a waitress. Those numbers don't get reflected on govt. stats. They only show what the bartenders and waiters and waitresses make on their paycheck.
Then throw in a few hundred thousand girls dancing in strip clubs around the country who get NO pay at all. It's 100% tips in cash.
I think that with millions of people who are servers (waitresses and bartenders) added with a few hundred thousand strippers...the govt.'s numbers are not correct.
Have you thought about that at all before you make all these big pronouncements? You don't seem to have much real life experience.
