<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gam3rBlake, post: 7439273, member: 115909&quot;]From what I’ve read the average worker made about $1.50/day back then. Some made more some made less but that’s about the average for a factory worker or other blue collar job.</p><p><br /></p><p>I wouldn’t say it’s about half an hour wage today though. The minimum wage is like $9 and there is no way you’d be able to eat at a sit down restaurant. Maybe a couple of cheap fast food items but the restaurants I listed from back then were sit down restaurants with multiple courses and meals made from scratch.</p><p><br /></p><p>Today I would compare Applebee’s prices since they are a casual restaurant. Most prices in there for the cheaper appetizer stuff runs about $9.99. Most of the entrees are $13.99 on up and then with a drink and tip you’d easily spend $14-15 per person. So about an 1.5 hours labor.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
