In 2009, $7.25 had the buying power of $10.75. So the minimum wage is worth 35% less now. But even $10.75 an hour as a federal minimum wage is too low today. Two people working full time would make $43,000 (with two weeks each of unpaid vacation). Whatever new wage is set, it has to be indexed to the CPI.
