They were making $2.75 an hour when the cost of an average house was $11,900, compared to $33.88 today when the average house costs $405,020.

2.75/11,900 = 33.88/146,608

To purchase a home today that would compare to a purchase in the 60s, a worker would need to make $93.59 per hour.

Wages of $33.88 equates to a home value of $146,606. I don't think workers are better off today.
