The American Community Survey measures Philadelphia poverty and reports that 44,000 people aged 16-plus earned less than $7.25/hour in 2017. People earning less than $7.25 an hour are more likely to have a college education, be Hispanic or young. This data shows that Philadelphia had a minimum wage of $6.25 an hour. It also revealed that 63% of Philadelphians were employed in four different sectors: education services, retail, accommodation and food, and retail trade. Although this percentage has been declining over the past decade it still represents a significant part of Philadelphia's workforce.
