Do they have a statistic for who's actually paying people the minimum wage?

I posted it in the other min wage thread, but the largest group of min wage-makers are those that live at home with their parents (teenagers) at 40% of total min wage makers. How can we expect kids to be able to afford $100 Nikes on $5.15/hour?!?!

Oh please, the kids who are slaving away at burger king for $5.15 an hour aren't the same ones who are wearing $100 pairs of sneakers. Do you see why?
