This meant it took 7,651 hours to pay off a house if you saved every penny earned after taxes or 3.82 years of labor.
Fast forward to today, minimum wage is $7.25 an hour or $6.45 after Federal taxes (not including State and Social Security). The median home value in America is

If we fill in the wedge, how many dollars are represented?
