RE: (erielack) 1955 Rates of Pay



I remember when I worked Morristown. It was a Star
rated agency, the highest paying on the division. I
made somewhere between $5.25 and $5.30 per hour, exact
figure I do not remember. This would have been January
1975. How inflation has pushed things up the past 30
years.
