- The typical wage for men and women in 1912 were minimum and sometimes it was small. Of course there was no such thing as a minimum wage in 1912 and a laborer could consider a 12 hour day job, six days per week as "Outstanding".
This answer is all wrong for a lot of reasons. 1. The average wage in 1912 was between 1.0 - 1.5 ounces of silver (7-15 silver dollars) per week. Mind you this was likely 6 working days and 10-12 hours per day. There was a minimum wage back then...it is whatever you were worth. It is a naturally self-regulating pricing mechanism that always pays the correct amount. 2. The reason that people considered 6 or 7 day work weeks "outstanding" is because most workers would work as much as they could. This was not worker abuse or anything, the workers wanted it...the more they worked the more they earned. 3. This 1-2 silver dollars per day was not a small amount. This was comparable to what a person making $40,000-$80,000 makes today. It was a good wage and anyone would be proud to earn 2 silver dollars per day. Rent was only about $2 silver dollars per week. and a typical monthly grocery bill for a family would be $12-$15 per month, so the "low" wage easily pays for all of the family needs. 4. The reason a silver dollar per day sounds like a small amount is because we are used to our worthless paper currency. It has lost around 98%-99% of its value since 1912. There you go...a good answer.
