TOTAL= $1,000 +

Probably the percentile is lower than 10 as the minimum wage is 1,600 per month for full-time workers. But that min wage only applies if the company employs foreigners.

If the employer employs only locals then there is no minimum wage for the workers, I think. Wages for these workers can be lower.

Unless your 10th percentile includes part-time workers or even the unemployed, quite unlikely.
