There are a number of federal workers who make the federal minimum wage.

Per CNN: "Most of the federal employees paid below $15 hourly are currently employed by the Departments of Agriculture, Defense and Veterans Affairs. Federal workers in a variety of roles across the country will benefit from this new minimum wage policy, including about 130 wildland firefighters, 400 plant protection technicians, 3,800 custodial workers and roughly 50,000 Defense Department employees at military bases around the US, among others." That's a pretty significant number.

Raising the federal minimum wage to $15.00 is a first step in raising it for all.
