Good Life Brings Wage Change Would you work for 25 cents an hour? A little more than forty years ago minimum wage-at its inception - was only 25 cents an hour, compared to $3.35 at the present time According to the August issue of U S News World Report if the mimumum wage had kept up with inflation it would now have to be $4.14 an hour. To answer some questions about the employment practices of the Kimball High School students, the yearbook staff conducted a survey. Slightly under half of the student body was employed - only 4 percent full time The average hourly wage of these employed students was $3.33. Nearly half of them reached minimum wage. Several interesting points were brought about by this survey. More than half the students felt it was difficult to find a job and felt they would be willing to work for less than minimum wage. Seventy-six percent gave reasons for working as a means to obtain spending money. Less than half said they really enjoyed their work. According to Alyson Evelyn, The responsibility you learn at a job is great, but it has its drawbacks, mainly it cuts back on the participation in extracurricular school activities.
