No, there's 170-ish million people on some kind of salary or hour wage if the 80 million cited represents around 58% of all salaried workers. Out of those, only 1.8 million (as noted) are at or below the federal minimum wage. That's not a lot compared to the whole working population.

If your already applying to different places then there's no advice I could give you that you wouldn't sneer at anyway. I've covered this topic before with practical advice so there's no point in going over it again.
