Minimum wage in 1938 = .25/hr. $2.00 was a whole days pay. In 1939, minimum skyrocketed to .30/hr. Random: http://www.maniacworld.com/ads-from-the-old-days-8.jpg |
It was not just the minimum wage, but the total lack of jobs. Most people living today have no idea how bad the great depression really was. My grandparents lived through it.
