When minimum wage was instituted, it was intended that one person working would be able to pay every bill, including a mortgage on that salary. And it did so.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 80398165  Minimum wage NEVER paid for an entire family and a mortgage. Such BS. .
Min wage in San Diego was $5.50/hr in 1992. Rents were $200-300/month. Gas was $1.15/gallon and new Toyota pickup was $7,500
Yes, you could pay all your billsYou still couldn't pay your medical bills.
