Let's see....

My paper route paid USD 13.00 every two weeks BEFORE they took out the deductions.

My first job in college (1964) paid USD 0.65 per hour, but there were no deductions taken out and I was paid in cash. Then College Work Study raised my salary to USD 1.20/hour (I think it was) but stuff was deducted.

In Basic Training I was paid USD 72.00 per month, before deductions, but room & board & such were included without cost.

I worked for a dollar an hour (USD 5.00 per day) as a milkman's assistant in very late 1963, but again I was paid in cash and nothing was deducted.

But the all time low was probably during high school, when I "worked" for a Junior Achievement company. My total earnings, after deductions, amounted to $32.50 for five months.
