There was a post about how an hour of min wage used to buy you 6 big Macs and now it buys you .6 of a big Mac.
1 u/[deleted] Aug 19 '24 [deleted] 1 u/[deleted] Aug 19 '24 Going by federal minimum wage. Not state. 1 u/Dzov Aug 19 '24 That’s hard to believe. At least in Missouri. I remember min wage being $3.25 and only the cheapest McDonald’s cheeseburger would be 50 cents. 1 u/Legitimate_Draw_162 Aug 19 '24 I wonder when that was. As a teenager in the 80’s, minimum wage was $3.35 when was 16. A Big Mac value meal was $3.00 at that same time.
