    If the minimum wage would have kept up with inflation, from what I've read, it should be somewhere between $10/$11 an hour.

Yeah, but if it kept up with productivity, it'd be north of $20. That's the bitch of being a wage worker these days--none of the financial gains that have come with productivity has trickled down to you. I don't know what a good minimum wage is, but currently, it's a joke.
