Half of Americans making less than $20 hour

I watched a "Young Turks" video: "Half Of Americans Make What Minimum Wage SHOULD Be" https://youtu.be/u28ETYeIe_o 

I'm in the other half, nevertheless, I always struggle to make ends meet. I can't imagine what some families are going through (not to mention the stress on those households with family members who are undocumented: but that's another story).  After watching the video, I find it unsurprising that there's a lot of dissatisfaction in the general population with our economic and political system.
I did find the graph interesting just to see where I'm at in relation to the rest of the population. Also, look at the $27-$30 hourly bump in the graph: I'd guess it's all the middle-managers out there?
