Their entire adult lives there was cost of living increases included to minimum wage which influenced wages and salaries of the entire workforce.
Meanwhile nearly my entire adult life there has been no increase in minimum wage - nearly 20 years now. Yet inflation has increased 300% while quality of goods has decreased in the same amount of time.

Minimum wage only helps people making minimum wage, everyone else gets deflationary effects.
Lower minimum wage for the Boomers meant that more places would hire them as cleaners or helpers and they could gain skill working, instead of fighting for $15/hr positions they weren't qualified for.

You are forgetting all the other factors such as cost of living increases due to supply and demand increases due to illegals and stagnant wages due to increase in labor pool due to illegals and this is still all the fault of boomers
Yup. The main factor is now we have to deal with way more illegals, and niggers being given jobs they have no business having PERIOD, but even worse, and more infuriating, over much better qualified white peoples.
