Yeah, but the places people will be struggling on min. wage would most likely be in a highly populated area, like the bay area/LA/SD, etc....they all have public transportation.

Depending on where you live and the cost of living in the area, it'd be possible - assuming you stayed at home without the lights on and rode the bus to work everyday with your spaghetti-o leftovers (which some people do). But why would you? If you can walk, talk, and function like a normal human being you can pretty much find a job that pays higher than minimum wage. The min. wage in WA is $7.10, but places like Best Buy and Costco pay $10-$12 starting.
