In the 60s, American prison inmates were paid 15 cents an hour and worked 6 hours a day.

15 cents is equivalent to 9 cents, 6 hours is 5.4 yuan, and a month is more than 160 yuan.

I remember in the '60s, my father's salary was $25 a month, and he worked 8 hours a day. At that time, 25 yuan was enough for my family of five.

In the 60s, the monthly salary was 160 yuan, which already belonged to the ceiling!
