I have first-hand knowledge of a high school student who makes $13/hr after school at Target.

When I was a teenager, I worked at a McDonalds for $2.10/hr, which was minimum wage back then.

I worked at a McDonalds for $2.10/hr,

What year was that?

For me it was Hardees, at $2.35 an hour (1979). But I got $2.50 credit towards my lunch if I worked a full 8 hour day. Just enough to cover a burger and a milkshake.

Millennials have felt more financial strain than any other generation since the Great Depression?????

Actually Millennials have opportunities for health, wealth and the pursuit of happiness far beyond what could even be dreamed in the Depression! They struggle because of their 'entitlement outlook' and their endless consumption of material goods they cannot afford.... frivolous spending on demand.

MY first full time job I got paid $1.30 an hour & that was ABOVE the minimum wage.

I NEVER made more than $64,000 any year of my life.

I worked at a local discount store for $1.15/hour in 1967 and thought I hit the jackpot!
