[QUOTE="klein, post: 898404, member: 23950"] I don't know what my dad earned by the week, but he worked 7 days a week all year round. We never went on a vacation - ever ! But he was always well dressed in suit and tie. The odd time we went fishing or hunting on a Sunday. But even most Sundays he was tied up at work and I used to go with him as a child. I think I do remember $1.75/hr being the average wage way back then, while my dad was earning a whopping $6.25. Had to look it up : 1960 : average wage $4007 !
