I just watched on tv the guys that chiseled out those faces tv said they were paid $.50 cents an hr.
That was "the big bucks" for semiskilled labor in the 1930s.
The prevailing wage for non-farm workers was two dollars per day. Farm workers made only one dollar per day and worked from dawn to dusk.
50 cents per hour for a 10 hour day is $5 per day.
Those workers could have made the same wages working for Ford and not have had the same sense of accomplishment.
