Idaho is finally No. 1 at something. Unfortunately, it is nothing the state should be proud of. The Department of Labor has released statistics showing Idaho with the highest percentage of employees earning minimum wage. In 2012 alone, the percentage of hourly employees making minimum wage increased to 7.7 percent - a jump from 12,000 to 31,000 workers. That is ridiculous. Nationally, that same percentage dropped to 4.7 percent in 2012 from 5.2 percent in 2011. Not only does Idaho have the highest number of people on minimum wage, it is one of the states that follows the lowest mandated wage - $7.25 established by the federal government/Elizabeth Rudd, Moscow-Pullman Daily News.

Question: What was the last job you performed for minimum wage?
