On Part-time Jobs

by Haruki Murakami

Translated by Christopher Allison

When I was a student, which was more than ten years ago now, the average hourly wage for part-time work was about the same as a cup of coffee in an average coffee shop. To make it plain, at the end of the 1960s it was about 150 yen. “Hi-Lite” cost 80 yen, and comic books were about 100 yen. Since I just bought records with the money I made working, I could buy one record for every day-and-a-half of labor.

Now, compared to a 300 yen cup of coffee, the standard wage for part time work is 500 yen. It looks as though the market price has changed a little. You can buy two records with one days labor.
