In 1971 the minimum wage was $1.60 per hour, $64 per week or 1.82 oz of gold.
In order to have the same spending power in 2025 the minimum wage would have to be $150 per hour.
$1.60/hr, $64 a 40-hr week. Gold 35/oz, $64 = ~1.83 oz.
To match that purchasing power today (gold ~$3342/oz), you'd need ~$6115/week or ~$153/hr.
