My memory is not what is once was and I am a novice at the computer. I have a great deal of difficulty when I try to research any facts

I think a good idea would be for some one to look up, not just from memory, what the minimum wage was when gasoline was 27 cents a gallon. Perhaps check other minimum wages against the price of Gas.

Minimum wage is, as you know, is $5.15 per hour. Even those who work in Fast Food business are paid more than that. I have to pay $10.00 an hour for workmen to come in and help me in my yard. Cash that is.

I'm on fire now. I worked at a car wash in 1974 for $1.61 per hr. US minimum wage and gasoline was $0.31 a gal.
