PART-TIME JOBS a 2 <A FOR WOMEN O 111 s“ © m IN DALLAS, TEXAS 1949 D-3 Tables to supplement Women's Bureau Bulletin 238 UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF LABOR Maurice J. Tobin, Secretary Women's Bureau Frieda S. Miller, Director ■ BOARDS Washington 25, D.C. 1951 / 20090 INTRODUCTION These tables supplement "Part-Time Jobs for Women—A Study in lO Cities," published as Bulletin No. 238 of the United States Department of Labor's Women's Bureau, Washington 25, D. C. They present detailed lists of jobs and industries in which women were employed part time in Dallas in the fall of 1949. Bulletin 238 describes the part-time work experience of management and employees in a wide range of jobs and industries in which women were working a short week. The majority of woman—employing industries in non manufacturing were included in the study, with the following exceptions: Agriculture; some service industries, such as household employment and maintenance work (office cleaning); Government service; and self-employed persons. Also, the following selected occupations were excluded: Public school teachers, temporary and seasonal workers, canvassers and door-todoor saleswomen, insurance agents, real estate saleswomen, theatrical and professional entertainers. Part-time work by students was not included. (In New York City the study was limited to three industries—museums and art galleries, advertising agencies, and publishing houses.) The information was collected during the period from June 1949 to June 30, 1950, by Women's Bureau representatives directly from employers and from women part-time woikers in lO cities located in various sections of the country. Since the information in the bulletin is not shown by individual city but only by the aggregate findings of the lO cities, a series of supplementary individual city tables listing the part-time jobs in each city has been prepared and are available on request. These cities are - Dallas, Denver, Des Moines, Milwaukee, New York, Providence, Richmond (Virginia), San Francisco, Syracuse, and Worcester.
