Travel and vacation were much rarer. Many jobs gave only 2 weeks a year of vacation. Many jobs didn't include travel. That's changed with the invention of cheap airlines. Alas, some like SWA have changed their business model.
replyI use "super-baskets" like say US GDP per capita
reply>The June 1940 photograph along Hwy 1 in Maryland had $0.05 hotdogs ($1.17) and $0.10 burgers ($2.34).
1940 $779 to today's $94K GDP per capita gives $6 for the 1940 $0.05 hotdog.
94K GDP/Capita for US is wildly off it’s around 66K.
replyGDP is not distributed equally by any means, so meaningless as a per capita figure in this context
