As it is, an employee working full-time at the federal minimum wage of $5.15 an hour makes $10,712 a year, about $1,000 above the official poverty level for an individual ($9,654).

That would suck to work full time and only make $10,712. You would think housing costs would eat up 98% of your wages depending on where you lived. I don't know anybody that makes under 7 an hour though.
