Effective January 1, 2008, the minimum wage in California is $8.00 per hour. It will increase to $9.00 per hour effective July 1, 2014, and to $10.00 per hour effective January 1, 2016. For sheepherders, however, effective July 1, 2002, the minimum wage was set at $1,200.00 per month.
I went on the minimum wage...The minimum wage in California in 1952 (only state I could find such statistics for) was $0.75 an hour. today it is $7.50 in most higher cost of living states, which would be 10X the current value, or around $1000.
