40 Percent Of U.S. Workers Make Less Than What A Full-Time Minimum Wage Worker Made In 1968:
"Back in 1968, the minimum wage in the United States was $1.60 an hour. That sounds very small, but after you account for inflation a very different picture emerges. Using the inflation calculator that the Bureau of Labor Statistics provides, $1.60 in 1968 is equivalent to $10.74 today."
