Imagine having a serviceman of any
sort arrive at your house, fix your problem, and present you with a bill of $6 -
parts included. He would walk away satisfied that he had done a good job and was
well compensated for the work considering the effort invested in training and qualification.
$6 in 1932 when this Radio Training Association of America ad appeared in
Radio-Craft magazine, per the Bureau of Labor Statistics'
Inflation Calculator is worth $135 in 2023 money - that's a cheap
service call even in today's economy. Further, the $14 stated as a day's earnings
is
$316 in 2023, which equates to 50 work weeks/year x 5 days/week x $316/day =
$79,000/year - not too shabby. Just between you and me, that's more than I'm currently
making per year.
