Min wage came out of the Fair Labor Standards Act sign into law by FDR in 1938. The law said about min wage: "minimum standard of living necessary for health, efficiency and general well-being, without substantially curtailing employment" It was supposed to be a minimum basic wage,that one could live in.
I had read with inflation, it should be around $10.56 an hour.
