 NOTE: The prevailing Federal minimum wage was $7.25 per hour

in 2010. Data are for wage and salary workers, excluding the

incorporated self-employed. The data refer to a person ́s earnings

on the sole or principal job, and pertain only to workers who are paid

hourly rates. Salaried workers and other nonhourly workers are not

included. The presence of workers with hourly earnings below the

minimum wage does not necessarily indicate violation of the Fair

Labor Standards Act, as there are exceptions to the minimum wage

provisions of the law. In addition, some survey respondents may

have rounded hourly earnings to the nearest dollar and, as a result,

reported hourly earnings below the minimum wage even though they

earned the minimum wage or higher. Updated population controls

are introduced annually with the release of January data. Dash

indicates no data or data that do not meet publication criteria.
