USD$30 is a pretty good minimum wage. That's almost twice as much as I made at my first full-time job.

Was it in New York and was it recently?

It may or may not compare, I guess. Hard to tell.

Edit: with inflation and location in mind

You know the USD and CAD are not the same thing, right?

E. They did know. And I can't read!

what year, and how much exactly per hr. I would love to point out how inflation works to you. the average worker in the 50s at an entry level, no high school diploma required job, was making A LOT MORE than you'd guess after factoring in inflation.

CAD$25, around a decade ago
