When I came to Utah in 1971 I got hired by Hill Air Force Base as a warehouseman. I made $3.28 per hour, but at that time the minimum wage was $1.85, so I did pretty well. Today a GS1 starts at $8.53, but I was just out of the navy and was a GS6, which today starts at $14.65. That may not seem like much compared to some jobs, but from my point of view looks pretty darned good.
