In 1971, the minimum wage stood at $1.60 per hour.

Working 40 hours would let you purchase roughly 1.83 ounces of gold with your earnings.

Nowadays, that equivalent quantity of gold costs approximately $7,350—which implies that to equal the purchasing power of the minimum wage from that era, you’d have to earn around $184 per hour now.
