The new minimum wage of $6.55 an hour still leaves millions of hard-working Americans in poverty.
A worker who is employed full-time at the new minimum wage still earns only about $13,600 per year—$4,000 below the federal poverty line for a family of three and $7,600 below poverty for a family of four.
