America and the minimum wage

Ranking America put out a new graphic, and you know how I like charts. According to the OECD, full-time American workers paid at the federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour earns 38% of the median wage in the US. That makes the US tied with Japan out of the twenty-five OECD countries ranked in that category. Turkey is number one with a minimum wage-to-median wage ratio of 0.71.
