That doesn't translate:

A movie ticket was $0.23 in 1939, and minimum wage was $0.28.

A movie ticket is $8.34 today, and minimum wage is $7.25.

That means that a ticket was less than minimum wage, and a ticket is now more.

 

29 states and dc have a higher minimum wage than the federal minimum. that wasn't the case then. 

Ticket prices vary by state. States with a higher minimum wage usually have higher ticket prices.
