[QUOTE="DDD, post: 458141, member: 35"] Don't be so shocked by the wages, guys. I earned $40 a week in 1960 as a typist in a steno pool for a prestigious law firm. Got my next job at $60 a week in 1964 and finally made it to $80 a week as an office manager in 1971. At that time I was a good looking, sharp young white girl who was a whiz at shorthand and typed 65 or 70 wpm. Here's info that you'll find interesting about minimum wages: 1950 .75 1956 1.00 1963 1.25 1968 1.60 1976 2.30 Yep, times were different. DDD [/QUOTE]
