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. |
$4 an hour at my job.
|
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
|
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. |
$8.25! i believe that has stayed the same, but with a 'trainee hour' period of 500 hours at $5
|
Had a offline job during the summer of 98 when I was 15, paid me just about $10 per hour.
|
$5.00 CDN I think, back in 1990
|
$3.85 at BK when i was 15.
|
4.50/hr in Alberta Canada, would have been around '89.
|
$1.25 hr. Makes me feel real old. :(

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
|
I think it was like $3.50 or so.... Man that was a long time ago!
|
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.
|
it was right around $5.00 an hour if I remember right.

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

I think it was around 5 bucks an hour
|
$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.
