did I miss something? Was it $2.50 per week and not per hour? Maybe the people who wrote the script were Japanese..
shareI still don't get that. Was he getting $2.50 an hour for his salary or an ADDITIONAL $2.50 to his hourly salary? $2.50 an hour in 1977 would be about $11 an hour today, which is hardly minimum wage in NYC
shareI think that was his weekly salary, which was extremely bad. The opposite doesn't make sns either sense minimum wage now is 7.50. If he was making 4.00 dollars a hour in 1977 he would be rich.
shareI don't think the raise was $2.50 an hour, I believe it was per week.
In 1977, minimum wage was $2.30. Not sure how many hours Tony worked per week, but basically, Mr. Fusco's raise equated to an extra hour of pay.
Yes, I believe the raise was an extra $2.50 a week.
shareIt was a $2.50 per week raise which he got up to $4.00 per week. Minimum wage was $2.30/hour in 1977, and even if his boss was paying him $5/hour, there is no way he would have given him a 50%-80% raise.
