I never asked about peak purchasing power of the minimum wage. Not sure why you brought that up tbh.

  “peak for ease of new entrance to society?” was the question you asked. Maximum earning power for anyone (minimum wage) was the answer. The lower your purchasing power, or access to purchasing power, the less ease for entrance to society, economically speaking. This coincides with the tail end of America’s post WW2 economic boom.

    > Maximum earning power for anyone (minimum wage) was the answer. I think you meant to say “my answer” not “the answer.”

      Why would you think that?

        Because there is no single answer here.

          Huh? The context is pretty clear.
