We'd need to know their economic package amount in 1954. It would be cool if somebody did come up with this, though. Back in the day, wages were generally "living" wages. That is.....most jobs paid enough to keep the little lady at home with the kids. My guess is that in spite of the breathtaking increases under the UAW contract, their buying power is not significantly in excess of what it was in 1954. That's the macro-problem here in America. The "Middle Class" is evaporating.
