How dare I round down to $20 from $21.89. ..
What $1 Then Buys Today=
2000 51.5 cents
2010 65.3 cents
2015 71.0 cents
2020 77.5 cents

You say Table 1 let's say you where hired in 2008, starting wage was $18.31 per hour. 2010 was $19.45 an hour
RCA starting wage in 2026 should be $29.97 per hour to keep the same puchsing power of 2010.
$21.89 is equivalent to $14.21 per hour in 2010.
so sorry for rounding up from $29.97 to $30.. are you ok boomer????

Not a Boomer, Gen X. I started in 2005. I am thankful for what I have & work hard for what I can to make things better for others coming up the ranks.
Most non-skilled jobs start between $15-$20 here & this is no small town. If you don’t like a job or it’s pay, go find another that pays better or makes you happy. I have held a lot of jobs before the Post Office and none paid as much as this one does, even in today’s economy. If I didn’t like a job or felt it wasn’t paying enough, I found another to take its place. I’ve also been fired from a few & dealt with lay-offs. This job is by far the best one & most secure which is why I stayed. I wasn’t looking for a career, just something to do to keep busy. I gave it a year to see if I’d like it and never looked back.

That $1.89 you so easily omitted is $151.20 a paycheck for subs that are paid 40 hours. Another dollar gets added at 3 years as RCA. Most subs in my area work 4-6 days a week. I’d say it makes a difference.
