That's not true for the US, because minimum wage is so low you can be working full time and still be below the poverty line. The poverty line is not minimum wage, it's the amount it takes to afford to live.

Nobody in the United States makes minimum wage.
that's true. lots of people make tipped minimum wage which is way lower
The tips make up for it.
