A startling comparison of Renumeration and its Benefits.
First year out of school in 1968 $10 covered a full weekend of Grog, Food and Women with some but not a great deal of change.
First pay cheque July 1969, a dizzy $20 per week with keep .
By January 1970, the rate lifted to a mind blowing $22 per week
By 2019, a base rate of $20 per hour is considered insulting at the lower end of the scale with acceptable rates closer to $25 to $30 range per hour.
On night out in 2019, leaves no change of $100 even if you are scrooging, and maybe double if you are doing the big splash out.
Are we going forward ???
