Hourly wages in 1965 were significantly lower than today when adjusted for inflation. The average hourly wage in the U.S. was around $2.57, which translates to approximately $23 today. However, despite nominal increases in wages over the decades, many workers today face challenges such as rising living costs and wage stagnation, making real purchasing power a critical issue. Overall, while wages have increased, the cost of living has also risen, impacting economic well-being.
To determine the present value of 1965 dollars, you need to account for inflation over the years. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) can be used to estimate how much purchasing power has changed since then. As of 2023, the value of $1 in 1965 is approximately equivalent to around $8.50 to $9.00 today, depending on the specific inflation rate used. Therefore, $1965 in 1965 dollars would be roughly equivalent to $16,700 to $17,600 in 2023 dollars.
