30 dollars 30 years ago, how much is it equivalent to now, and what is the purchasing power?

Thirty years ago, I graduated from high school and worked in winter and summer vacations to earn money. From my own side, I compared ten dollars with the difference between our small county and the ordinary working class in the fifth line. I work in a factory with a monthly salary of 84 yuan, a mature worker 150 yuan, and a senior manager, 200 yuan. At present, the wages of migrant workers and skilled workers are very high, reaching tens of thousands a month, while the wages of factory and mine workers are not too high, 4000 yuan, which should be a very fair figure. Wages have increased 20 times. 30 yuan at that time was equivalent to 600 yuan now.

Let's compare the prices of food, clothing, housing and transportation. Let's look at the food first Take pork as an example. Pork is one yuan a catty, and now it is 25 times a catty. The price of raw materials has gone up a lot. I remember I was very greedy and often went to restaurants to eat. I ordered a diced pepper and three bowls of rice. Chili butyl five is one yuan, and rice is twenty cents. A meal is five yuan and six yuan. It was quite luxurious at that time. Now it seems that there is no such dish in Chili. I go home from school by bus. The ticket price used to be fifty cents, but now it is ten dollars, which has increased twenty times. At that time, there were almost no private cars, so we could only compare them from the tickets. Train tickets have the smallest increase. We have a commuter train from Chengde to Beijing, and the ticket is only 18.5 yuan. Railways are really conscience units.

The increase in clothes is not that high. At that time, an ordinary jacket was about 30, but now it is about 200 or 200 times. At that time, there were no extravagant clothes, and luxury goods were not in the comparison. If it is high-end clothes, it is a world of difference. When Alan Tam gave a concert that year, a coat was made of gold. At that time, the price was 300 thousand, which was incomparable. The growth of houses is very violent. Thirty years ago, there were almost no commercial houses, all of which were divided into houses. In our county, there are houses for sale, up to 200 yuan per square meter. Now it is tens of thousands, at least 50 times higher.

Thirty years ago, many industries did not exist, such as electronic digital industry, communication industry, luxury goods and so on. There is no comparability. We didn't look at the national economic data, nor did we compare high-end consumption. We only saw the working class. Judging from the food, clothing, housing, transportation and purchasing power around us, some areas have not increased much, while others have increased greatly.

House prices rose the most, followed by wages, food also rose greatly, and clothes and travel did not increase much. According to national statistics, the price increase 30 years ago was 10 yuan, which is equivalent to 50 cents in 36 yuan now. According to the currency circulation, that is, the ratio of m2, 10 yuan RMB is equivalent to 1680 yuan RMB, which is not very reliable. According to my personal experience, the purchasing power of platform people, taking an average, was 10 yuan 30 years ago, which is equivalent to 250 yuan now.
