Thread Name: BS: Minimum Wage
Subject: RE: BS: Minimum Wage
From 1953 to 1956, $0.50 / hour. Got a raise to $0.75 when I got my driver's license and could take the 15T dump down the road to haul scrap iron. No time-and-a-half for overtime, but it didn't matter much 'cause momma wouldn't let me work more than 30 hr per week until I got out of Jr. Hi.

A little better (weekly) than I get now from my "Enormous Conglomerate" retirement fund... after 35 years, but I don't have to work as hard for it now I guess.
