Minimum Wage (NMW) rates, in England, which equates to 8.9% of all workers. In Coventry
around 11,400 workers are on the minimum wage (equivalent to around 8.1% of all workers),
and across the West Midlands 266,000 workers are on the minimum wage (equivalent to
11.5% of all workers in the region).</p>
