What was the minimum wage in 1934?

Answer 1

I am assuming that by hourly wage you mean minimum wage. In 1938 the hourly wage was $0.25 a hour, although that was implement more towards the end of the year, I think it was set in October. That was when minimum wage was actually set by a government act. The act was applicable generally to employees engaged in interstate commerce or in the production of goods for interstate commerce.

The minimum hourly wage at that time was $0.40 per hour ince the 1938 act. It was later changed in the 60s to more than $1.00 per hour.
