You couldn't buy a job into the 1980's and if you did it was minimum wage which I think was a little over $3/hr. Gas was very high compared to wages too. I cant remember for sure what year it got better but I think about 1983.
Also you dont miss what you never had, and those with B&W did not miss color as they never had one. I think we had 3 working B&W's before we got a color, a 1982 RCA.
