Federal minimum wage in the US in 1956 was $1.00

Silver dollars were still circulating at that time but the US mint was not pressing any new coins because of the oversupply at the mint. The weight of a US silver dollar being passed around in general circulation from those days was 26.73 grams. They were 90% silver making the value of one of those coins worth $24.05 today.

US federal minimum wage today is $7.25

Hence, I can argue that today's minimum wage worker earns ~30% of what an American worker earning the minimum wage in 1956 was earning. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

Your US$7.25 is NZ$10.39 so just looking at the numbers yours is lower than our min wage at NZ21.20 per hour
The trouble is what one can buy for the same amount
Your Big Macs are more expensive than ours

Our state minimum wage is $11.25. But over the last few years, a 1 br apt. has gone from $250 a month to $600 a month.

A sausage, egg, cheese biscuit was $2 for years. Now they are $5. I don't know how people can afford fast food.

Thanks guys ! Full runner this time, waterfall method. Fastening 6” cut PCs of commercial tkls using traxx glue sticks or Chemrex. Last one I did we did combination of Traxx + aluminum drives as per marble polisher dude. Pad will probably get glued to treads + lndg. And some type of double stick method ( cpt. To pad on lndg. ).....I’ll also bring a roll of gorilla tape for edges on an as needed basis. Of course the cpt. Is stiffer than Johnny holms on viagra and the contractor priced it out as nothing special here to look at O -Boy ! We have a situation.

My gardener does the grass once a week for $45 a month. That's crazy cheap.

For us a small lawn is about $40 per visit. In the spring 2 visits a week. I haven't heard a yearly charge or monthly.
The fertilizing company at roughly $227 for 6 visits.

How many people will apply to a job if they're paying $7.25?
It's hard to find warm bodies applying when $15 is the current offering.

If I let mine get too tall, my neighbor will cut it for free.

The Federal Election Commission (FEC) says that the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign violated election laws by lying about funding the infamous Steele dossier, which was used to smear Donald Trump and justify the Obama administration seeking a FISA warrant to spy on his campaign. The DNC and the Clinton campaign claimed expenses paid to the left-wing law firm Perkins Coie were legal services when in fact, they went to funding the long-discredited dossier. The FEC says that what the DNC and Clinton campaign did violated the law. According to the FEC, neither the DNC nor the Clinton campaign admitted to lying but won’t contest the finding either in order to settle the matter

Mine is about the same size but I also do the neighbors fronts beside me and once in a while one of them their back lawn as well. The one whose back lawn the lady is 83 years old and does it mostly all the time with a walking mower. She walks about 5miles each day and comes and gets my dog for a walk.

I could not afford to have my grass cut. And I have a new riding mower anyway.

Although the federal minimum rate is in fact $7.25, I find it ironic that 30 of the 50 states mandate much more than the federal rate.

At $7.25 you can't buy a hamburger for an hour's wage.

I just spent $10.21 for a 1/4 pound burger, small fries, and a small coke.

I just spent $13 for a bacon cheeseburger with onion rings (for the burgers), plus half a plate of large cut, seasoned fries.
.....and a coke.
Couldn't eat all the fries.
