Minimum wage

The first minimum wage was instituted in 1938. It was set to the tune of a paltry 25 cents an hour

hmmm

Isn't that what Kathie Lee is paying those sweatshop girls now?

I got my first "real job" (a newspaper route doesn't count) flipping burgers in 1992 and started at what was then the current minimum wage, $4.25 per hour.
