I would argue that the lower your salary, the more choice you have in where you spend your time to earn it. Let's not skip past the fact that working at McDonald's is not mandated, and there are not job assignments doled out to people with their birth certificate. A choice was made, and the rest follows.

lolwut?! if you earn 2 times minimum wage right you still have the option to work for minimum wage

Of course, but you are being obtuse in moving away from your original argument. Otherwise, why not just get a higher paying job instead of minimum wage lololol. Discarding that, it's an obvious fact that there are fewer job opportunities at higher wage classes as you proceed up through them, so my point to your diversion stands.
