ToddsterPatriot, in your post #11, you didn't actually doubt the relevance of TooBFreak's stating, $7.25 was “ a loss of about FORTY PERCENT below the minimum wage workers once made!”.Toddsterpatriot, you continue to post "Two years ago, less than 0.7% of hourly workers made minimum wage".
this inconsequential statement. what's consequential is what proportion of employees in the USA are the working poor?
TooBFreak posted “It would take about $12 an hour to equal the minimum wage of 1968”. You deliberately or inadvertently misquoted or implied he posted something else.
I too regret that he did not provide internet links to credible or authoritative opinions or statistics supporting the contention that 40 percentiles of USA workers do not earn more than $15 per hour. I certainly do not doubt that contention and I believe it may still be valid if it were limited to only USA's full-time employees.
You doubt TooBFrank's posts, but you don't provide internet links to credible or authoritative opinions or statistics that refute his posts. ...
But rather you implied your inconsequential statement, "Two years ago, less than 0.7% of hourly workers made minimum wage", indicated TooBFrank's statement was incorrect.
You repeated the same ploy within your post #17. Additionally, within post #17 you implied that TooBFrank's stating the 1968 minimum wage rate's value was equivalent to approximately $12 today was irrelevant to this thread.
