Crazy to think that $10 in 1980 is $40 now

Back when people were making a buck or two an hour though

$3.10 minimum wage in 1980. Equivalent to ~$11.50 per hour today, higher than today's minimum wage.

The effective minimum wage in 2019 was $11.80. It’s important to talk about these things in context, so we are better able to address the correct problem.

Glad ours is $15.45/hr
