In 1976 when I was 16 and started to work MW was 2.30 hour. 2019 it is now 9.45 hour. So in 43 years it has only raised 7.15. However food, gas, housing has what tripled, quadrupled?
So yes it needs to be raised to 12.00 at least.
Sorry to break this to you. Using your numbers, minimum wage has more than quadrupled since you were sixteen. ($2.30x3 = $6.90 & $2.30x4=$9.20)
