I don't even remember what my salary was. I just remember that It felt like wow so much money.

From student to working 😆

I didn't have a high salary or anything but I felt rich

Zero for agricultural work. You got paid by the pound for picking fruits or vegetables. IIRC, a penny a pound for green beans.

I worked at a car wash for a few weeks in 1974. The minimum wage was $1.60 (federal) according to
oregonlive.com/business/2014/0…
I think I got paid $2 or $3 an hour plus tips. The "manager" got $5 an hour.

I got a GS5 job at McNary Dam later that summer & was paid more than the car wash manager. Had to pay for a spot in a trailer park though - maybe $30 a month.

Oregon's minimum wage: 1968 to 2014

Obama also urged cities and states around the country to pass their own minimum wage increases.

He can have my prize, I just want work until I drop dead.

@DrFell @StockliRacer @mhjohnson

I think @mhjohnson is about to retire…, or something like that, are you sure?

@DrFell @StockliRacer
Been retired for over five years now. Managed to get "refired" so I could get 6mos of severance plus my pension.

It has been GREAT being retired with plenty of time & $$ to spend on what I want to. Going on a two week golf trip at the end of next week. Did three weeks already in TX & AL earlier this year.

BUT I hate Bidenflation - it is trying to make things bad for me and my fixed income pension.

How was the 🍔?

@mhjohnson @DrFell @StockliRacer

😁😂👍🏆 🥇

Kamala or 🍊?

@DrFell @StockliRacer
The burger?

I paid $0.25 for a cheeseburger back then.

But I think we went to a wings place instead - got a dozen or more for a dollar.

@Lyx @DrFell @StockliRacer @mhjohnson

Indeed 💯🔫😂😁

@mhjohnson @DrFell @StockliRacer

When was it?

@DrFell @Stuxnet1984
