Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Wages and the War: A Summary of Recent Wage Movements
The information secured, and here presented, while by no means cover ing all of the varied lines of employment in the country, is believed to be sufficiently comprehensive to be representative of wage conditions and wage changes among American wage earners. The wage data presented are usually in the form of hourly, daily or piece rates of pay. In some instances, however, it was necessary to use weekly or payroll earnings as a guide to wage trend, and in most of the organized trades, the union scales of wages have been employed as indicative of the actual wage-rates received.
