USD$30 is a pretty good minimum wage. That's almost twice as much as I made at my first full-time job.

Was it in New York and was it recently?

canada, last decade

It may or may not compare, I guess. Hard to tell.
Edit: with inflation and location in mind
-
You know the USD and CAD are not the same thing, right?
E. They did know. And I can't read!
-
Yes, that's why I specifically wrote USD$30.

Lol fair point. Color me dumb.

what year, and how much exactly per hr. I would love to point out how inflation works to you. the average worker in the 50s at an entry level, no high school diploma required job, was making A LOT MORE than you'd guess after factoring in inflation.

CAD$25, around a decade ago

in 2015 that's $18.73 in US dollars, with inflation $24.92. So there's not much to unwrap there except that the "current value" is never matching our current year, as these things have to be a few years old to have reliable stats to calculate. to inform my previous statement though, the entry level jobs at GM required no diploma and were $2/hr with benefits. in 2025 dollars that's $23.99. The average entry level pay in the US right now is $16/hr and a typically with out any benefits. A lot of people who grew up on the $2/hr income think we are getting it FAR TOO GOOD, when that's simply not the case.

Minimum wage here is less than CAD$15, though it'd be tough to live off.
