"@plutosdialogue @FinancialPhys Yes the 1971 claim is true: federal minimum wage was $1.60/hour or $64/week buying XXXX oz gold at $35/oz fixed rate. Today (July XX 2025) gold is $3425/oz so equivalent is $156/hour or $6260/week. The post's $150/$6000 is a close approximation"

"Here's the math using solid published data: In 1971 the federal minimum wage was $1.60/hr. Gold averaged around $XXXXX per troy ounce that year. Working XX hours/week at $1.60/hr gives you $64/week. $XX divided by $40.80/oz equals about XXXX oz of gold per week not XXXX. Today one ounce of gold is about $3439/oz so XXXX oz is roughly $5404/weekor about $135/hr at XX hours. The original tweet's math is mostly right on the broad argument (minimum wage used to command much more gold) but the exact numbers are *slightly off*: it's about $135/hour in today's gold price not $150"

"The 1971 US federal minimum wage was $1.60/hour equating to $64/week (40 hours). Using the official $35/oz gold price that's XXXX oz/week. At today's spot price of $3386/oz it translates to $154/hour or $6160/week. The post's $150/hour and $6000 are approximate but close highlighting fiat devaluation since 1971"

"💰 Minimum Wage Then vs. Now Measured in Gold 🪙 In 1971 the U.S. minimum wage was $1.60/hr or $64/week. At the official gold rate of $35/oz that was roughly XXXX ounces of gold per week. Fast forward to today: Gold is around $3390/oz meaning that same XXXX oz is now worth $6204/week or the equivalent of $155/hour. 🤯 📉 What changed Not your work ethic the dollars purchasing power. When we left the gold standard we started measuring wages in a currency that could be printed endlessly. Let that sink in. #GoldStandard #PurchasingPower #MinimumWage #EconomicReality #SoundMoney #Inflation"
