Minimum wage $1.25 an hour
Do you remember when the minimum wage was $1.25 an hour? I do. That was my first job at age 17 as a part-time sports writer for my local newspaper. During an evening break, we'd run and get a hamburger for a quarter and a Coke for a dime. Cigarettes, in a vending machine, were a quarter a pack, but I didn't smoke.
