minimum wage workers
Floor-rate labor force
Minimum wage workers are employees who earn the lowest hourly rate legally permitted.
The term often appears in discussions of labor policy, poverty, and economic inequality: Minimum wage workers can't afford rent in most American cities.
The phrase carries implicit commentary—it highlights that these workers earn no more than the law requires employers to pay.
