Current minimum wage when adjusted for inflation is lower than it was in 1964.
1968 minimum wage would be $10.47 if adjusted for inflation.
We're paying less and less for people to do work, but expecting productivity to go up.
But hey who needs to increase minimum wage? It might make my 8 dollar beer cost $0.02 more.
