As a plaster you would have made higher then average salary. Today you would probably make higher then average salary as well.
Actually I was a little off, I just checked and it was $3,080.00. Minimum wage was $0.75 an hour.

The cost of living has gone up but proportionately a house in most parts of the country costs the same as it does in 1954. The only exceptions are California and New York where most homes sell in the 500K range. The national median is $220K.

No, today the illegals have taken over the construction industry and wages are about the same as they were 20 years ago if you don't count fringe benefits, if you count them they are about 20% lower.
