Synopsis
Excerpt from Wages and Hours in American Industry, Vol. 45: July, 1914 July, 1921
The aim in this investigation was to present a picture of the trend of industrial conditions in the United States as reflected in wages, hours of work and employment. These three factors are inseparably linked together, and to discuss the question of wages without inquiry into hours and employment would yield incomplete results, both from a scientific and practical point of View. The data contained in this report, therefore, deal not only with wages, but also with the average hours of the nominal or standard week, the average weekly hours of plant activity, the average actual week per wage earner, and with fluctuations in full-time and part-time employment.
