Holy fuck.....I have no idea what the actual wage was .....ie 12.45 per hour. I know he made roughly what a typical mine engineer would have made back then. It was probably average money for a professional position in the mine. Good God you're willing to make yourself look like a complete fucking moron for gotcha.

Good God you're willing to make yourself look like a complete fucking moron for gotcha. Start calling you n2ojr not a gotcha just trying to establish how much (roughly) he made to be able to live what you are describing as a high upper middle class lifestyle in that era. how old were you at the time he retired, like 4? I'm guessing you have no idea how much he made relative to others and you look back on his lifestyle at that time through the eyes of a young child.

I doubt there are many starting manufacturing jobs in the US at minimum wage except maybe sweeping floors. I don't see any around me starting at under $15.00-$20.00 with good bennies. Generally speaking most have a shift incentive of $2-$4.00 per shift as well. 3 hours ago, Highmark said: No I'm not. I just don't agree with your assessment that people in the 50's and 60's all had this guaranteed lifestyle. That's simply BS. I think it would be tough even at $15.00 with a single income and family of 3+ to have much of an enhanced lifestyle when it comes to certain things. Keep in mind with our tax system that family would get back more than paid in regarding taxes. I'm not sure what point you are trying to make. Can someone make it on $15.00 per hour or not? What's minimum wage where you are? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
