Part-time work by students was not included. (In New York City the study was limited to three industries—museums and art gallerieSj advertising agencieSj and publishing houses.) The information was collected during the period from June 1949 to June 30j 1950j by Women's Bureau representatives directly from employers and from women part-time workers in lO cities located in various sections of the country.

These cities are—Dallas., Denver, Des Moines, Milwaukee, New York, Provi dence, Richmond (Virginia), San Francisco, Syracuse, and Worcester.
