IIRC, Steve Jobs worked way below minimum wage. Was it a $1/year?

A long time ago, people had "piecework" or "working on piece rate", i.e. paid per unit produced. They fought hard to get rid of that, but in reality that only moves the productive output of one individual to the salary of a less productive individual.

If everyone got paid their actual value brought to the process, a lot of people would be paid less than minimum wage, and many a lot more.
