RE: In 1966, when I graduated from HS, minimum wage in Southern California was $1.65 per hr.

According to the Inflation Calculator, that would be about $10.96 in 2010.

You had a higher effective minimum wage then than now in California ($8/hr).

The point is not how many dollars. Rather how many hours of labor it takes to earn enough money to buy the essentials of life - like food.
