i dunno how much it would translate too hour wise but I got 400/month with a paper route. Not bad when your in 7th grade. I probably put in around a 10-15 hour work week (probably around 1-1 1/2 hours to put papers in plastic bag and deliver). so thats roughly around $8/hour ($100/12.5h)

dish washer at a chinese restaurant: $4.25/hr

I can't remember! it was 1974.. I was after hours file clerk in medical records dept. of a hospital clinic. it was probably near minimum wage.. 1.90? yoohoo.. google...

On May 1, 1974, the minimum wage was increased for the first time in over six years. The increase was a very steep 25 percent, as the wage went from $1.60 to $2.00 per hour.

ok.. I still don't know. maybe 1.65. maybe 1.90. whichever, I guess I got a raise in may!
