Oops.
Bad move using japan to compare with the U.S. Its been reported that the wage freeze they experience for the past few year has seriously stifled spending so low minimum wage is not exactly helping japan with it's spending problem.

The chart lists Japan and a whole bunch of other countries, all of which have a higher minimum wage than the US.
I would imagine some have raised their minimums since the chart was issued.

The worst example would be Switzerland.
The minimum wage there is ruinous.
