In 1967, minimum wage was $1.00 which is about $7.66 in 2018 dollars (current federal is $7.25).
In 1970 it was $1.60 or about $10.67
In 1980 it was 3.10, or about $10.04
In 1990 it was only $3.80, which is $7.52 today.
In 2000 it was $5.15 or $7.69 today
In 2009 it was set to $7.25
I think $11 is a fair minimum wage adjusted for inflation, but there needs to be an effort to keep adjusting.
