I remember being the kid on the wagon (2 of us at a time) getting paid 50 cents an hour. 60ish years ago.

Yeah, Me too but I didn't get 50 cents an hour. Instead my mom and dad gave me room and board:).

You can dress in shorts and short sleeves for straw bales. You can't do that for hay.

we got 2cents a bale unless you were the driver then you received a penny. My 10-year-old cousin never complained though because he felt at least he could do something to earn money. 4 boys can haul and stack a lot of 50 to 70 lb. bales from sunup to too dark to see. Never tight stack fresh alfalfa in a barn if you expect it to still be there in a couple of days.

Or the barn for that matter.
Don't feed alfalfa to your horse unless you want him to give you a good buck and run, either.
