As far as "average" minimum wage (at least currently), your number seems a little high. Many states seems to be at $7.25.

It's not my number, as I said, it's from the Wiki article:
"The effective nationwide minimum wage (the wage that the average minimum wage worker earns) is $11.80 as of May 2019. This is the highest it has been since at least 1994, the earliest year effective minimum wage data was available"
