I remember those days... As a 14 1/2 year old bagboy in 1966, I made 85 cents an hour. Tips were fair. We all knew who the 50 cent tippers were...and scrambled to bag their groceries.
No way I could’ve lived off those meagre earnings though. Warren’s a fruitcake.
in 1966, I made 85 cents an hour....
I graduated High School in ‘66 and remember working for $.99/ hour back in NY. I could buy 3 gallons of gas with that wage at about $.32/gallon.
Now,in Texas the minimum wage is $7.25/ hour and it can buy 3 gallons of gas at $2.42/gallon
With the future minimum wage at $15/hour what do you think will be the approximate cost of gas in the future. No fair saying that the cars will run on solar.
