   Do you mean the minimum wage? You had a full-time job at 16? Yes, that   
   was meant to be enough to support a family. Had the original rate from   
   1968 kept pace with productivity growth it would be over $20/hr.   
      
    From the Republican Party Platform of 1968:   
      
   "We support an equitable minimum wage for American workers—one providing   
   fair wages without unduly increasing unemployment among those on the   
   lowest rung of the economic ladder—and will improve the Fair Labor   
   Standards Act, with its important protections for employees."
