It absolutely was, and more.

As part of the FLSA, the minimum wage was enacted at $0.25/hr to maintain a “minimum standard of living necessary for health, efficiency and general well-being, without substantially curtailing employment”.
Better luck next time, Jimbo.

If It was intended to be a living wage then why wasn’t it enough to be a living wage?
I will refer to your own source.
You have to look past the political propaganda and hyperbole. Minimum wage was implemented to get close to a “living wage” without hurting businesses.
It shouldn’t surprise me that you blindly believe politicians.
