It says: 1965 production worker average hourly wage $19.61.

I'd like to know where that was. Ford wasn't paying anything close to that.

I am going to almost guarantee that he is going to claim the $19.61 an hour is adjusted for inflation Tiny.

My dad pretty much confirmed for me that wages were around $4 - $7 depending on your spot in the shop.

From the chart:

"Every value associated with a year before 2011 has been adjusted for inflation using the Consumer Price Index."

We all lived better in the 60s. I had a new car,Mustang convertible, was buying two properties, and going to college, all on about ten grand in income! Don't know about no 19.75 per hour. Was making at that time 2.47 as a union meat clerk at a grocery store.
