Answer:

MINIMUM WAGE does not increase much over time

Explanation:

Based on the information given the conclusion you can draw from this is that MINIMUM WAGE DOES NOT INCREASE OR TEND TO GO UP MUCH OVER TIME Since the MINIMUM WAGES of the poverty threshold of whom TWO were related children was the amount of $21,027 and the poverty threshold of whom THREE were related children was the amount of $21,100 indicating that the minimum wages only increase from $21,027 to $21,100 given us the amount of $73 ($21,027 -$21,100) which is less than the amount of $100 as the difference between these TWO THRESHOLDS for each of the preceeding year.
