My first job out of the military paid $1.50 an hour.
This was in 1966.

Adjusted for inflation, $1.50 in 1966 is equal to $11.85 in 2019.
Annual inflation over this period was 3.98%.

Glad you could get a job in 66. I was 16 at that time and there were so many of us baby boomers that one was fortunate to get a job working at one of the drive-in restaurants or the movie theaters.
