How Much was Min Wage at your first job back in the day?
 
How much was Minimum Wage at your first *ReAL* job not including new newspaper routes or babysitting?

For me in Canada is was 5.50 an hour... its double that now...

$4.15 scrubbing dishes at a party house until 3 am on the weekends...when I was 14.

I don't think that would be legal today...not sure if it was then either.

The Dawg 11-29-2010 03:46 PM

$4 an hour at my job.

baddog 11-29-2010 03:46 PM

When I started working at the telephone company I got like $2.35 or something like that, and that was a union job. So I guess minimum was even less.

http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0774473.html Guess min was $1.60

summer job when I was 14 $3.50/hr baling hay(stacking hay) and other jobs for a farmer

CDSmith 11-29-2010 03:55 PM

It was around $2.90/hr when I got my first job ('78).

Only a few months later it went all the way up to a whopping $3.10/hr.

By the time I was on to my 3rd job ('82) it was up to something like $3.50/hr but I was making more than that by then.

_Richard_ 11-29-2010 04:03 PM

$8.25! i believe that has stayed the same, but with a 'trainee hour' period of 500 hours at $5

Nicky 11-29-2010 04:05 PM

Had a offline job during the summer of 98 when I was 15, paid me just about $10 per hour.

BruceM 11-29-2010 04:07 PM

$5.00 CDN I think, back in 1990

atom 11-29-2010 04:07 PM

$3.85 at BK when i was 15.

If you are a commission-based salesperson such as a door-to-door seller of newspapers, you could walk around all day and make zero dollars.

I worked at a gas station/convience store pumping gas, stocking shelves and doing whatever needed to be done. When I started I made $3.35/hr about 3-4 months later the state raised the minimum wage so I got a raise to $3.50/hr

Rochard 11-29-2010 05:40 PM

I think it was like $3.50 or so.... Man that was a long time ago!

GrouchyAdmin 11-29-2010 05:42 PM

I have no clue anymore, but I do remember buying frozen premade meals since it was cheaper than the fast food, or even the grocery store nearby.

CYF 11-29-2010 05:45 PM

it was right around $5.00 an hour if I remember right.

moeloubani 11-29-2010 05:54 PM

5 i think here in canada or something around that i remember when a $10 an hour job was something nice then $20 an hour was like youre going to be rich if you have that job now no one could get me to go back to a regular job for any less than $40 an hour and even then i would have to seriously consider it

thickcash_amo 11-29-2010 05:56 PM

I think it was somewhere around 4.75 or 5.00....either way it sucked!

Cyandin 11-29-2010 10:21 PM

$5 per hour working on a ranch when I was 14, doing all sorts of shit ranging from painting fences, stretching fence wire, digging trenches to lay conduit, trimming pepper trees with a pole saw. It was really hard work, but it did sure as hell build character.

bl4h 11-29-2010 10:25 PM
