True, but you do need to change the denominator though, as under 16's and retired people don't earn, so those ~105 million people[0] need to be excluded (otherwise it's mis-representing the facts).

I said "1% of people" which is correct. You could also say "1.4% of working age people" or "3.9% of hourly wage workers" - these are correct too.

The only incorrect statement anyone has made is "most".
