Very simple. TPTB, and or big business refused to raise the minimum lock step with the rising cost of living. The scumbags thru the dept of Labor, constistinly under reported the true inflation rate. One minimum wage paycheck, 40 hours, used to be enough to have a spouse home with two kids. No medical insurance needed either. For the births. $300 to $500 covered the Dr. and the hospital.
