the U. S. dollar. Sherry Cooper: The Canadian

Loaf Of Bread Minimum Wage

Prices, money, knowledge, and technology may not
seem that they should be together, but all of the
terms connect in one category. Money is a big
issue when talking about prices in the past and
present. Knowledge and technology are important,
too. Charts and graphs comparing prices of food
and other items can be astonishing at what it
brings forth. In 1915, the price of bread was at
seven cents. Right now, if you go to your local

Forced To Work Hours A Week

When you think about children, chances are you
think of them getting up in the morning, going to
school then coming home and going outside to play.

earning only seven cents an hour? This means if a
child were to work eighty-four hours a week (when
the maximum is 60 hours a week), then they will
have only earned $...
