I'm not going to offer my own ideas on what this shows.
For the US, I gathered info on federal minimum wages, the amount of silver that could be bought with that wage at the time (and it was a challenge to find yearly average silver prices before 1968), then how much fiat that silver is worth in today's bucks.
It gets complicate in the 2020s because of various minima is each state. But I think the minimum wage for federal employees is now $15/hr.

Enjoy!
