I made $11/hr back in 1992 which I considered a low wage. Minimum wage in 1992 was $5.50. Federally now it’s $7.50/hr. Some states have higher. , Florida being $10/hr and California being$13/hr
Prices of things since 1992 have gone up 300-700% but the Federal minimum wage has only gone up 50%Gas, for example, has gone up 400%. Toyota pickup roughly up 500%. Rent where I used to live in 1992 has gone up 600%. Food I’m paying probably 300% more
Based on my calculations with cost of living , the min wage should be, at least, $25/hr to be able to pay your bills
