The true stat of adults working full time jobs for a living is 1.1% of the work force.

And that 1.1% includes waitresses and bartenders who make good money with tips. My ex-wife was a bartender in Ft. Lauderdale in the 1980's...she'd bring home $500 on a good night, all in cash. And money was worth more in 1984, $500 was a LOT of money then.
Yep. It does say that is is people making a standard wage of minimum or less so waiters, bartenders etc that have a lower wage and work for tips are included.

Some of those people can make some very good money.
