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.
I believe Ohio is $8.15. Not sure how many states are higher than fed and too lazy to look.
