Michigan Tidbits

In 1914 the minimum wage was $2.30 a day.  That is pretty small by todays standards.  Henry Ford was manufacturing cars that even his own employees could not afford to buy.  Being the business man that he was in order to remedy that he started paying his workers $5.00 a day for work so they would be able to afford the cars they made.  $5.00 a day is equivalent to $111.00 today.  I promise to write more about Henry Ford in up coming blogs.  Have a great day.
