Back in 1971 the minimum wage was $1.60 an hour

That equaled about 1.82 oz of gold per week on a 40-hour schedule

At today's gold price that's roughly $192 an hour and about $7,700 a week

That's what's been taken from workers

To match 1970s purchasing power, minimum wage would be
close to $60 an hour

Let me know when you find that job
