I hate to break this to you, but the guy with the "McJob at Wal-Mart" today enjoys a standard of living that would be the envy of that unionized factory worker 30 years ago.

In 1965, I was working part-time changing oil and filling gas tanks, at $2.15/hour.

That's $12.65 today--more than WallyWorld's average $10.15/hour wage.
