Back in about 1975, I worked for a local farmer and friend who provided us with new leather gloves, a huge supper with his family, and around $3 an hour, as I recall [minimum wage was around $3.35 an hour then].
According to the inflation calculator, from June 1975 to May 2011, the US rate of inflation is 321.57%...so that means that $3 an hour in 1975 is worth about $9.65 an hour today.
