In September of 1963, the minimum wage was $1.25/ hr or five silver quarters. Today, that’s worth almost $22.
The current $15/hr the left is demanding is 14 the 1963 rate and worth only 68% of the value of five silver quarters.
We need real money, not pretty pictures of presidents.
Interesting post.
I started in an auto plant in ‘67 and was making about $2.75 an hour and that was considered “good money” at the time.
My first new Chevy was $2300.
