LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL
UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF LABOR,

WoMEN S BUREAU,
Washington, February 15, 1926.
SIR: I am submitting a report giving the results of an investigation
of the status of women in Government service in 1925. This is a
follow-up of the report issued by the Women's Bureau in 1919.
In the interval between 1919 and 1925 there has been a reclassification of positions in the Government service and therefore it is
significant to know the progress made by women.
The investigation was made and the report written by Miss Bertha
M. Nienburg. The Civil Service Commission cooperated by giving
access to its records.
R espectfully submitted.

THE STATUS OF WOMEN IN THE GOVERNMENT SERVICE IN 1925
PART I
-.
r.
INTRODUCTION
The never-ceasing and increasingly vigorous demand of our girls,
as they pass from schools and colleges into the main stream of life,
to know what are the wage-earning currents of which they ma·y
become a vital part calls for a periodic survey of the service rendered
by women for their largest single employer, the United States Government. Such a sur·vey shows that there is a considerable range ·of
opportunity for women, as well as for men, in the Government
service. Whether in the administrative, in the scientific, in Lhe
professional, in the social science, in the artistic, in the clerical, in
the manufacturing, in the mechanical, or in the cleaning service,
all positions are open, potentially if not actually, to women. The
United States Civil Service Commission ruled on November 5, 1919,
that all examinations were open to women and men alike. However,
although the commission offers men and women equal opportunities
in examinations, it can not fill a vacancy with a woman, even though
she may rate highest in examination, when the officials requesting
the appointment specify that the appointee be a man. The discretionary power in this matter rests entirely in the officials of the
· department or establishment in which the vacancy occurs.
'\
The extent to which women have availed themselves of the advantage of equality in examinations, the chances they have had to take
positions after examinations were passed, the opportunities for advancement once the positions were secured-in short, the status
of women actually employed in the Government service-will tell
the young women in search of opportunities for profitable employment of the practical possibilities of advancement for women in the
Government service to-day.
The present is a particularly fitting time to make such a review.
Permanent gains resulting from opportunities thrown open by the
shortage of man labor and the heavy demands for service during the
war can now be distinguished from temporary gains. Furthermore,
the positions within the Government service in Washington have been
classified according tff the classification act of 1923 .1 In the past,
1 United States. An act to provide for the classification of civilian positions within the District of
Columbia and in the field services. (Public No. 516, 67th Congress.)

THE STATUS OF WOMEN IN THE GOVERNMENT SERVICE
sal nr.ies were fixed by statute for some popitions, and for others the
rate of compensation was d~termined by the administrative hea,• of
the establishment, a system resulting in differences in salaries for
similar services. To rectify these inequalities and to establish
scientific regulation of compensation, the classification act of 1923
created five services and numerous grades of positions therein for the
Government establishments within the District of Columbia. Compensation schedules for each grade within the several services also
were fixed by this act. The task of defining the positions to fall
within each grade was vested in the Personnel Classification Board.
After this board had prepared its '' class specifications for positions
in the departmental service," departmental committees allocated
specific positions in their respective departments accordingly, and
thereafter determined the rates of compensation of employees in
agreement with this classification and the rules prescribed by the
act of 1923. -The Personnel Classification Board reviewed and
approved these allocations, making them effective July 1, 1924.
Since then some adjustments have been made and others are being
made from time to time. Thus the principle of '' equal compensation
for equal work irrespective of sex" 2 in the Government civilian
service has been established in law since July 1, 1924. The b€ginner's chances and the actual possibilities of advancement for women
in specific positions under this system may be seen in the picture
presented by this report of conditions as they exist to-day m the
executive establishments in the District of Columbia.
SCOPE AND METHOD OF STUDY
In 1919 the Women's Bureau made a study of the appointments
and entrance salaries of women, as compared with those of men, in
the executive service of the Government. 3 At that time women
were excluded from more than one-half of the examinations given,
so that their appointments necessarily were confined to a limited
field. At that time there was no uniform entrance salary for any
given type of position. Now all examinations are open to women,
according to civil-service regulations, and "all new appointments
shall be made at the minimum rate of the appropriate grade or class
thereof" as laid down in tho classification act of 1923.2 How effective these fundamental changes have been in advancing women's
status in the Governµient service is determinable in part through
the civil-service records of appointment. These records were
rendered available for the present study by the courtesy of the Civil
1 United States.

Columbia and in the field services. (Public No. 516, 67th Congress, p. 3.)

Se;rvice Commission. The study is limited to appointments in the
departmental service of executive establishments-that is, service
in the District of Columbia- because n~w c0mpensation schedules
have not been put into effect as yet in the field service. It covers
all probationary appointments to the departmental service made from
July 1, 1924, to March 1, 1925-a period of eight months.
The opportunities for advancement in the Government service
are best reflected in the records of women who have been in the
service for some time. With the resources available, it was not
possible to include in this. study all women so employed. Consequently, the confines of the review were placed where those who had
attained positions of responsibility or positions requiring special
education and training would be included. The classification act of
1923 fixed the minimum sa1ary for positions requiring "professional,
scientific, or technical training equivalent to that represented by
graduation from a college or university of recognized standing" 4 at
$1,860 per annum. All persons in administrative positions receive
more than this sum. It was decided, therefore, to review in this
study only records of women who were receiving salaries of $1,860
and over. Positions paying salaries below $1,860 are touched upon
only in connection with beginning salaries. Thus all women in the
professional and scientific service, all women in the administrative
service, and such women in the subprofessional and clerical services
as were earning $1,860 and over were included. Women in the
clerical-mechanical service, in which a.re to be found operatives of
the Government Printing Office, of the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing, and of the Mail Bags and Equipment Shop, are paid on an
hourly basis. Although it is possible for the hourly earnings of a
forewoman or foreman in these establishments to total to $1,860 or
more in a year, 12 months' earnings would have to be secured to
warrant the inclusion of any hourly workers in the $1,860-and-over
compensation group. Searching but such yearly earnings was not
feasible at this time. No women in the custodial service in departments whose records were taken received as much as $1,860.
Personnel records in Government establishments are brought to
date with varying frequency. Consequently, although the status
of women on April 1, 1925, was desired, it was necessary to take
records dating from January 15 to April 1. The facts here assembled,
therefore, are not of one date. They represent conditions in the
period from January 15 to April 1, 1925. Changes occurring after
the first of April were not included.

THE STATUS OF WOMEN IN THE GOVERNMENT SERVICE
April 1, 1925, as well as the records of all men employed in similar
positions, were copied for the following executive establishments: •
Department of Agriculture.
Department of Commerce.
Department of the Interior (exclusive of Howard University and St.
Elizabeths and Freedmen's Hospitals.
Department of Labor.
Post Office Department.
Department of State.
Treasury Department (only one...half of personnel records were included,
such half being taken in strictly alphabetical order). 6
Bureau of Efficiency.
Civil Service Commission.
Employees' Compensation Commission.
Federal Board for Vocational Education.
Federal Trade Commission.
Tariff Commission.
Veterans ' Bureau.
Time did not permit going through all the records of the Treasury
Department. The cards were t aken alphabetically, so that the half
from which records of persons receiving $1,860 and over were taken
may be considered representative of the 11,311 employees in that
department.
These executive establishments employed 15,777 women and
15,966 men, or a total of 31,743 persons. The Government bureaus
not included in the survey had made no accounting of the actual
number of women and the actual number of ·men employed in the
departmental service since December 31, 1924. It is not possible to
state, therefore, the exact proportion which the employees in the
establishments included in the report represent of all persons in the
departmental service. Based on the estimated number employed in
these establishments during 1925 as given in the budget statement, 6
approximately three-fourths of the persons in the departmental service
of executive establishments were employed in the bureaus and commissions included in this survey. The Government establishments
employing large numbers that were not included in the survey, because
time would not permit, were the War and Navy Departments, the
Department of Justice, the General Accounting Office, the Interstate
Commerce Commission,. and the Smithsonian Institution.
As the purpose of this review was to show the character of positions held by women in the departmental service, it has not been
found always advisable to use the titles given to classes of positions
by the Personnel Classification Board. This board simplified the
matter of salary allocations in the Government service by bringing
together .all positrons demanding of the incumbent the same general

"education, experience, knowledg~, and ability." 7 For example,
sc_ientists_ of all kinds are grouped by the Personnel Classification
Board in seven classes, namely, junior scientists, assistant scientists,
associate scientists, scientists, senior scientists, chief scientists, and
special scientists. In this report, however, the positions had to be
named with reference to the character of work done---for example,
botanists, chemists, physicists, etc.-so that women seeking information as to opportunities for service would know in what fields such
opportunities were to be found.
For the- same reason other employees have been grouped according
to the character of work done rather than by the titles given them
under reclassification. In this review, under the administrative serv-:ice are listed all heads of bureaus, commissioners, and other persons
having administrative powers, regardless of whether scientific or professional knowledge is essential to the proper performance of their
du ties. In the official classification such persons are called senior
scientists or chief scientists, senior educationists or chief educationists, and so on, and are listed under the professional and scientific
service, while administrative heads of organizations which do not
require professional or scientific training are called senior administrative officers or executive officers and are listed in the administrative service. Throughout the tables, however, the .symbols used
by the Personnel Classification Board for service and grade have
been bracketed under the table captions so that the differences between titles used in this report and those used by the Personnel Classificati~n Board may be ascertained.
NUMBER OF WOMEN EMPLOYED
.
Almost one-half of the employees in the departmental service of
executive establishments included in this review were women. By
far the largest numbers were working in the Veterans' Bureau, the
Bureau of Internal Revenue, and the Public Debt Service. No other
bureau or independent establishment included in this survey employed as many as 700 women, whereas the Veterans' Bureau had
. over 3,600, the Bureau of Internal Revenue over 3,400, and the
Public Dept Service over 1,500 women employees. As these three
establishments employed a larger numbei: of people than did other
Government establishments, the proportion of women employed
therein was not so great as in some other places. The proportion of
women was greatest in the small bureaus devoted to the service of
women, children, and the _h ome; that is, in the Women's Bureau,
the Children's Bureau, and the Bureau of Home Economics. The
actual number of women in these bureaus, however, was · relatively

THE STATUS OF WOMEN IN THE GOVERNMENT SERVICE
small, only 45 in the Women's Bureau, 120 in the Children's Bureau,
and 3'3 in the Bureau of Home Economics, but women formed 97.8
per cent, 89.6 per cent 1 and 82.5 per cent, respectively, of -the entire
number of employees in such bureaus . The Government establishment with the next largest proportion of women was the Public
Debt Service 1 where 76 per cent of the 2·,068 employees were women.
The smallest numbers of women were employed, naturally, in the
establishments having fewest persons in their departmental service.
The smallest proportions were working in the Bureau of Standards,
the Coast and Geodetic Survey, the Bureau of Soils, the Bureau of
the Budget, the Weather Bureau, and with the Insecticide and Fungicide Board. None of these establishments had as many as one
woman employee to every four men. The numbers of women and
men employed in each of the Government establishments included in
.this survey will be found in Table 1.
NUMBER OF WOMEN RECEIVING SALARIES OF $1,860 AND OVER
PER ANNUM
About 16 per cent (16.2) of the women, as compared with 51.8
per cent of the men, employed in the department al service of the
Government establishments included in this survey, exclusive of the
Treasury Department, received salaries of $1,860 or more per annum.
ODly about one-half of the· personnel records of the Treasury Department were reviewed. Material is not available, therefore, upon which
to figure the exact proportion of women or men receiving $1,860 and
over in this department. But if the proportion receiving $1,8~0 and
over in the records studied are approxima tely the same in the remaining half of the records, the inclusion of Treasury Department figures
would make the proportion of women receiving $1,860 and over per
annum for all the establishments included in this study 18 per cent,
and the proportion of men 52.4 per cent.
The number and the proportion of wom~n receiving $1,860 and
over varied greatly from establishment to establishment. The
largest number (418) were found in the Bureau of Internal Revenue,
in sp~te of the fact that only a part of the records of this bureau
were included in the survey. Two hundred and sixty-two, the next
largest number, were in the Veterans' Bureau. These' 262 women
were but 7 per cent of the total number of women employed in the
Veterans' Bureau, while 36.5 per c-ent of the men employe·es in that
bureau received $1,860 and over. The Public Debt Service was the
only other bureau paying as many as 100 women salaries of $1,860'
or more.
The Government establishments in which one-half or more of the
women received $1,860 and over per annum were only four in number
n.nd were those employing relatively few women. In the Bureau of

Home Economics more than 63 per cent, but only 21 women, received this amount; in the Children's Bureau nearly 51 per cent, but
only 61 women, received $1,860 and over per annum. The Bureau
of Efficiency and the Employment Service, employing only 15 and 7
women, respectively, paid more than half of them at least $1,860.
None of the 10 women employed in the departmental service of the
Bureau of Lighthouses was paid as much as $1,860. Only one woman
in the Steamboat Inspection Service, one in the National Park Service, and one employed by the Insecticide and Fungicide Board received such a salary. Less than 10 per cent of the women employees
in the departmental service of the Weather Bureau, the office of the
Postmaster General, the Veterans' Bureau, the Bureau of Immigration, and the Bureau of Animal Industry were in positions paying
$1,860 and over. As before stated, 51.8 per cent of all men in the
departments studied received as much as $1,860. The Bureau of
Efficiency, the Civil Service, Employees' Compensation, Federal
Trade, and Tariff Commissions, the Federal Board for Vocational
Education, the Departments of Agriculture, Commerce, and the
Interior, -and 33 subordinate bureaus or offices paid salaries of $1,860
and over to 50 per ·cent or more of their men employees. Only the
Bureau of Efficiency and three department bureaus paid as much as
$1,860 to 50 per cent of their women employees.
A careful study of Table 1 will inform the observer in just what
Government establishments there are positions paying $1,860 and
over per annum and where these positions are held chiefly by women
and where they are held chiefly by men.
CHARACTER OF WORK DONE BY WOMEN RECEIVING SALARIES
OF $1,860 AND OVER PER ANNUM
A slow but certam widening of the field of women's service m
the Government departments is clearly visihle in Table 2. Even
though two-thirds of the women receiving salaries of $1,860 and
over in the establishments included in this study were in clerical or
stenographic ancl typing positions, the other third had entered many
occupations which require specialized education and experience.
The character of the positions that now pay women salaries of $1,860
and over may be seen in Table 2. In just what Government establishments they are located will be found in Table 3.
ADMINISTRATIVE WORK
Five of the 82 persons serving as commissioners of the independent
executive establishments or as bureau heads in the executive departments included in this study were women. With a few exceptions
these positions are filled by presidential appointment. The extent
to which they' are filled by women, therefore, represents the extent

THE STATUS OF WOMEN IN THE GOVERNMENT SERVICE
of the recognition by the Chief Executive and the legislative body of
the capability and responsibility of women in the direction of national
policies. At the time of the survey, two women served as members
of · commissions whose other members were men, one as a member
of the Civil Service Commission "regulating and improving" the
Government civil service, the · other as a member of the Employees'
Compensation Commission which determines compensation to be
paid persons injured while working for the Federal Government.
The other three women in high administrative positions were chiefs
of bureaus. The Bureau of Home Economics in the Department of
Agriculture, conducting scientific studies of interest to the home, the
Children's Bureau and the Women's Bureau in the Department of
Labor, the one concerned with the welfare of children, the other with
~he welfare of wage-earning women, were headed by women. Two
of these bureau chiefs had women assistants. In the establishments
included in this report the only woman acting as assistant chief in
a bureau whose chief was a man was the Assistant Director of the
Mint. With the latter exception, the administrative responsibility
lodged with women directors or assistant directors in the Govern..;
ment bureaus covered by this survey was concerned with problems
of personnel, women, the home, and children. The Assistant Director
of the Mint was the only woman charged with responsibility for
purely business matters; she was virtually the assistant manager
·
of all the Government money-coining factories.
Government executive establishments vary widely in their system
of organization. It i~ usual, however, for larger bureaus and commissions and for those dealing with highly technical problems to
place administrative responsibility for particular work upon trained
persons who report directly to the head of the bureau or commission.
For the purpose of this study these assistant administrators were
divided into those in charge of primary or major creative divisions
of a bureau or commission; those in charge of secondary divisions,
or acting as assistant heads of primary divisions, or as administrative
secretaries to commissions; those supervising the general business
operations or directing matters relating to personnel and disbursements; and those who were in charge of minor clerical divisions or
who were assistant heads of secondary divisions. In addition, a
number of administrative assistants having charge of office forces
but themselves under general supervision were included in the
administrative group. Professional and scientific assistants to
professional and scientific administrative heads of major divisions,
however, were not included in the administrative group because
. +,heir work was primarily scientific rather than administrative.
Forty-six of the Government establishments included in this
study had major subdivisions. These were administered by 237

heads, of whom but 5 were women. Two women were heads of
divisions in the Children's Bureau, one was Director of . the Junior
Division in the United States Employment Service, one was chief
of rural education in the Bureau of Education. and one was chief of
, the home economics educational work of the Federal Board for
Vocational Education.
• One hundred and thirty persons were employed as assistant heads
()f primary divisions, as heads of secondary divisions, or as administrative secretaries carrying out the policies laid down by department
or commission heads in 35 Government establishments. Only two
of these, the Superintendent of Nurses in the Bureau of Public
Health Service and the Chief of the Division of Coordination and
Review in the State Department, wer_e women.
The number of women in administrative positions increases in the
transition from . the divisions where administrative heads must have
broad and lengthy experience in technical fields to the divisions
caring for depattmental or bureau administration problems and
those dealing with clerical matters. Five women were chief clerks,
that is, in charge of general business affairs of bureaus, one was a
personnel officer, and one was a disbursing officer. Twelve served
as heads of minor clerical divisions in the Veterans'· Bureau or in
the Departments of Agriculture, Labor, State, Treasury, and Post
Office. Not until the administrative assistant group is reached,
however, are any number of women found. As many as 40 of the
301 employees acting as adminstrative assistants were women.
These women administrative assistants were scattered throughout
the departments and independent establishme_n ts.
There were al together 74 women, therefore, in the 1,104 administrative positions in the Government establishments and parts of
establishments included in this report. Otherwise stated, 1 in every
15 administrative positions in these organizations was held by a
woman. Of the 2,198 women receiving $1,860 and over employed
in the establishments or parts of establishments included in this
report, 3.4 per cent were in these administrative positions. (See
Table 2.)
.
. How did these women acquire administrative positions~ The
commissioners and two bureau chiefs were presidential appointees,
as were most of the men in similar positions. The Chief of the
Bureau of Home Economics, together with the three women assistant
chiefs of bureaus, entered Government employment through civil .
service examination for lesser positions and attained their higher
grades through transfer and promotion. · Both the Chief of the

special agents. The assistant head of the Children's Bureau, one
administrative head of a major division in the Children's Bureau,
and the assistant head of the. Women's Bureau took examinations
for special agent and research assistant, social service expert, or
industrial supervisor. The head of the division of rural education
in the Bureau of Education entered the service through an examination for assistant in rural education. The Assistant Director o:f the
Mint had taken a statistical-clerk examination; the Chief of the
Division of Coordination and Review in the State Department
had risen from confidential clerk to division chief; and so on through
the ranks of women administrators.. The. larger proportion entered
the service through examination and attained their advanced position through promotion.
SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH AND INVESTIGATION
Eighty-seven women, or about 4 per cent of those receiving $1,860
and over included in this report, were employed in laboratory research and iri compiling information concerning the various sciences.
As no'-seientist is paid less than $1,860 per annum in the departmental service, this number represents the total number of women
engaged in laboratory and library research and field investigation in
the realm of science in the departmental service of the establishments included in the survey.
Women were employed in 12 branch~s of science in these Government establishments. The largest number, 20, were chemists; 18
were pathologists; 17, physicists; 11, botanists; 8, home economists;
4, nematologists; 3, entomologists; 2, plant physiologists; and
there was 1 woman zoologist, 1 bacteriologist, 1 horticulturist, and
1 nautical computer.
All but six of the women chemists were employed in the Department of Agriculture. One, in the Secretary's office, was engaged in
keeping informed of the work being done in agricultural research
throughout the world in order that she might direct the attention
of scientists in the department to matters of importance to their
work. In the Bureau of Ch emistry three women were employed as
microanalysts; that is, they analyzed, with the aid of the microscope, the chemical content of various foods, drugs, and other agricultural products. Four others aided in fundamental research work
on food and drug sourpes, food preparation in factories, and food
uses. The five women chemists in the Bureau of Home Economics
also were concerned chiefly with food, but their research was concerned with the nutritive· aspect of food and with its preparation and
storage in the home. The laboratory engaged in discovering prac-

tical means of capturing nitr;ogen from the air for use as field fertilizer employed one woman chemist.
The Bureau of Standards had five women chemists; the Geological
Survey had one. In the Bureau of Standards, studies of the· chemical
properties of all kinds of materials are made. In the Geological •
_S urvey, chemists· analyze the composition of the earth)s structure.
These 20 women chemists had all entere-d the Government service
through civil-service examinations for laboratory assistant, junior
chemist, assistant chemist, assis:tant in dehydration investigation, or
home economics specialist. With a few exceptions in the Department of AgricuHure, they had entered the service in 1918 or later.
There were, in all, 313 men and women chemists employed in the
Government establishments or pal'ts of establishments included in
this survey. The largest number were employed in the Department
of .Agriculture, the next largest numbers in the Bureau of Standards,
the Geological Survey, the Bureau of Mines, and the Bureau of
Internal Revenue. There· is, therefore, abundant opportunity for
chemical research in the d·e partmental service. Women chemists
have only begun to· enter this field.
The Bureau of Standards was the only Government establishment
included in this review that empfoyed' women as physicists. These
women physicists had all entered the service during or since· April,
1918, through laboratory assistant examinations. Mter appointment mos-t of the womerr _took a noncompetitive examination for
assistant physicist, the method of advancement for mern as well as
women physicists in the Bureau of Standards. Although no woman
had advanced beyond the p·osition of assistant physicist, that is, to
a position in which laboratory research is done· without immediate
supervision, women are• so new in the_ Go.v.ernment service in the
field of physics as to ma-ke even. the a:dvarrcement they had made
significant as to possibilities.
The Bu:reau of Plant Industry in the Department of Agriculture
employed a larger number of women in scientific research th-an did
any other bureau in the Government, the number being. 35. The
women were botanists, plant pathologists] plant phy.siologists, and
nematologists-all studying plant life in the effort to· produce better
seeds and, better plan ts and to eradica,te plant disease. One woman
horticulturist was employed as plant-quarantine inspector by the
Federal Horticultural Board.
With one e:xcepti0n the women botanists had taken the junior seed
botanist or the scientific assistant examination. The exception was
a woman employed as a biometrie· calculator. The pathologists had
entered. the service chiefly through examinations for plant pathologist
or scientific assistant in plant pathology. The plant physiologists
had taken either plant :pathologist or junior physiologist. examina1

tions; the nematologists, an . assistant nematologist examination.
The increasing efforts to combat plant diseases bec_ause of the realization of the tremendous losses such diseases occasion and the imperative need of improving cult ural methods make this a field of service
• which should command the attention of women students of plant life.
The Bureau of Home Economics had eight women home economic
specialists investigating problems concerning textiles, clothing, household equipment, and household management. No men were employed in this capacity, although a man physicist aided in these
investigations.
Three women were employed in the Bureau of Entomology working
as junior entomol gists in the study of insects as they affect men,
_animals, and agricultural.products. In the Bureau of Animal Industry, where many men scientists combat livestock diseases and develop ·
methods of breeding better animals, there was but one woman scientist, a_zoologist. In ~he Bureau of Dairying there was one woman
bacteriologist. Only one woman computer was found in the Government establishments included in this report. This woman had
been employeq _in the Coast and Geodetic Survey since 1903.
COOPERATIVE EXTENSION WORK
There is a corps of scientists employed by the Government, not
in intensive research but in disseminating the results of such research
throughout the agricultural regions. The majority of such scientists
are classed as field workers and do not, therefore, come within the
scope of this survey, but a few have headquarters in Washington
and therefore are considered departmental employees by the Departmen t of Agriculture.
Of 49 departmen-tal employees engaged in this cooperative extension
work at the time of the survey 7 were women. One was a senior
agriculturist assisting in the administration of boy and girl club work,
I was a · specialist in organizing agricultural clubs among children,
3 were concerned with home demonstration work, and 2 demonstrated
methods of utilizing dairy"products in the home. · These positions all
involve much experience and responsibility. For example, ' the
specialist in ;milk utilization · must be a college graduate in home
economics and must have had five years of experience in educational
work, in home economics, or as director in home economics extension
work.
·
While the opportunities ofthis kind in the departmental service are
few in number, the field service offers excellent opportunity for graduates in home economics, for such women are employed as State homedemonstration agents, county home-demonstration agents, boy and
girl club organizers, and as specialists in the several fields of home
economics.

WORK OF SCIENTIFIC AIDS
"Scientific aid" is the title given to the assistants in scientific
laboratories of whom a college education is not required. The duties
vary from the cleaning ap.d caring for laboratory materials to making
responsible laboratory observations requiring a knowledge of the
principles of the SGience involved. Many of the scientific aids do not
come within the $1,860-and-over salary groµp. In the establishments
included in this survey 53 scientific aids received this amount. Of
this number 5 were women. Two were assistants in the physical
laboratory of the Bureau of Standards; 1 was an indexer of scientific
specimens in the Department of Agriculture;, 1 was biological aid in
the Bureau of Biological Survey; and 1 was an assistant in the
pathological lab9ratory of the Bureau f l?lant Industry. Although
not ranked as scientists these women were engaged in as responsible
work as that of some of the scientific assistants.
For ~omen who have not had a scientific education but who are
interested in laboratory research, the beginners' positions in this
group offer an opportunity to become acquainted with scien_tific
methods and to gain knowledge of a· limited field of science. This in
turn may lead to positio:Qs similar in character to those in the lower
grades of the scientific group, such as are held by the five women
discussed in the preceding paragraph.
LEGAL WORK
•
Under legal work are here included attorneys; attorney-in·v estigators-those engaged in collecting legal facts pertinent to the preparation of formal suits; law clerks-those who search, interpret, and
apply laws, court decisions, a:µd legal opinions for other attorneys, or
who index ~nd codify_ statements and decisions; and examinersthose who examine and give opinions on claims and contracts.
For attorney and attorney-investigator positions applicants must
be graduates of a law _school and must have been admitted _to·_the bar.
Usually law-clerk positi(?ns also call for such prerequisites although
some law-clerk examinations are given which simply require a knowledge of general law common to all States. So, too, in the claimsexaminer group: Some examinations admit law graduates only,
whereas other claims examiners have come into the service through
clerical examinations. These differences in qualifications are due to
real differences in character of the work to be done. For example, in
the General Land Office, where the work of adjudicating claims arising
under the public land laws is done, many homestead claims require only
careful scrutiny t9 see t.11:at _well estaolished regulations have been
_ complied with-w9rk which any person can do who has familiarized
himself with the homestead laws and regulations and whp is careful

and painstaking. On the other hand, many mining claims and
contes-ted claims are complicated and require a general legal knowledge as well as a knowledge of particular laws and regulations and
much good judgment. Theoretically, employees engaged in the
simple adjudicating work are called "adjudicating clerks" and those
engaged in work requiring a general knowledge of law, "examiners."
In practice, however, adjudicating clerks of ability are put on ex-aminers' work and. examiners are· put on adj_udicating-cler.k work.
Consequently, it seemed advisable for the purposes of this study to
include the adj.u dicating clerks and the examiners in one group. The
same situation exists in respect to some of the ciaims examiners in the
Bureau of Pensions and claims examiners· in the Veterans' Bureau.
Through the years a. body of' precedent has been. established conc-erning claims on account of service in the Army and Navy prior to
October, 1917, which 'il'.lakes the adjustment of such pensions a
relatively simple matter;.but it.will be many years before the Veterans'
Bureau has established a fixed code of rules and :regulruti.ons and
pro-visions so that the examination and adjudication of claims made
under the prov:isio,n of ·the war risk insurance act need no long.er
require unusual judgment upon the part of claims examiners.
In the departmental service of Government establishments and
parts of establishments included in this service-and it should be
noted here that the Department of Justice was not included-there
was but one woman attorney proper . . 'Fhis woman was an assistant
solicitor in the State Department.- There were three women attorn.eyinvestigators employed by the Federal Trade Commission. Women
law clerks numbered 12. Seven of these were in the Bureau of Internal
Revenue, 1 was in the Public Debt Service, 1 in the Customs Service,
·1 in the State. Department, 1 in the Bureau of Naturalization, and 1
in the Veterans' Bureau. The fact that they were not concentrated
in any one establishment indicates a tendency for many establishments to call upon women for legal service. It is quite possible, t oo-,
that other women were employed in law-clerk wor.k but were con,..
sidered clerks and given salaries of less than $1,860.
Eighty-eight women were employed as law or claims examiners or
as adjudicating clerks receiving $1,860 and over per annum, as compared with 381 men in the same establishments. The Bureau of
Pensions had· 181 claims examiners, of whom 53 were women. The
Veterans' Bureau employed 152 claims examiners at $1,860 or more,
among whom only 3 women were found. The General Land Office
employed 93 law examiners and adjudicating clerks, 27 of whom were
women. In that half of the Internal Revenue records taken and
copied in alphabetical order, there were 22 men law examiners. and 2
women examiners. The Employees' Compensa.tion Commission
employed 1 woman and 2 men claims examiners at $1,860 and over;

the office of Indian Affairs had 1 woman and 6 men adjusting claims
concerning Indian lands; the Bureau of Mines employed 2 men, the
Patent Office 4 men, and the Bureau of Immigration 1 man.
In the entire group 15 women and 222 men, or 14 per cent of the
women as compared with 38 per cent of the men, were classed in the
attorney group by the departmental classification committees acting
under the direction of the Personnel Classification Board. (Table 4.)
Of the 15 women classified in the professional service, 2 were in the
State Department, 3 with the Federal Trade Commission, 1 in the
office of Indian Affairs, 1 in the Bureau of N aturali.iation, 1 in the
Customs Service, and 7 in the Bureau of Internal Revenue. None
of the cla.ims examiners in the Veterans' Bureau, whether men or
women, a:nd but 6 men law examiners in the General Land Office,
were given professional classification, regardless of the fact that most
of these examiners had taken examinations requiring law-school
graduation and admittance to the bar.
FACT COLLECTION, COMPILATION,. AND ANALYSIS
Many Government establishments collect information concerning
existing conditions in the numerous fields of human endeavor, compile and analyze such data, and disseminate the res1,11ts broadcast for
the guidance of the interested public. The demand for facts gathered
and analyzed by impartial Government agencies grows with the
growing realization of the public that well considered action is
possible only when based on accurate and comprehensive knowledge
of conditions.
The Bureau of Agricultural Economics in the Department of
Agriculture conducts investigations concerning farm management,
cost of production, marketing farm and nonmanufactured food
products, and other problems connected with farm operation which ·
fall outside the realm of the physical scientist. Other bureaus
within this department gather statistics concerning the subjects with
which they are particularly concerned.
The Bureau of the Census is, of course, the largest collector of
statistics concerning the character and growth of our population,
the character and growth of our manufactures, the kind and quantity
of our agricultural and forest production, and the kind and quantity of
our mineral production. But in the Department of Commerce also
is the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, which, in order
to develop markets for our manufactured products, gathers data
concerning market conditions for manufactured products here and
abroad and assembles information on imports and exports. The
Tariff Commission and the Federal Trade Commission also collect
industrial data. The Tariff Commission ascertains differences in
cost of production here and abroad on dutiable articles. The Federal

Trade Commission secures facts concerning industries in which there ·
appear to .be unfair trade practices or violations of the Clayton Antitrust Act.
Facts about ~onditions surrounding labor are gathered by the
Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Women's Bureau, and the Children's
Bureau. The Women's Bureau specializes on subjects of a.3sistance
in bettering women's wage-earning opportunities and conditions of
labor. The Children's Bureau is interested not · only in working
children .but in all conditions that affect child life.
Two Government bodies collect information on educational matters. The Bureau of Education in the Department of the Interior
gathers statistics on general educational progress. The Federal
Board for Voc~tional Education conducts special studies to effect a
eloaer adjustment between school courses and useful pursuits.
Even .the Government establishments themselves are the subject
of in:vestigation. rhe Bureau. of Efficiency and the Bureau of the
Budget may gathe.r information concerning the business methods
of any Government establishment in order to bring greater efficiency
into the service.
The titles ._ given the persons who collect, compile, analyze, and interpret the~e data ha.ve varied with the type of fact collected and the
gene_ral s.c.o pe of the individual .task. _ The Personnel Classification
Board has divided them into the. following: Economic analysts'those en.g aged in "professional, scientific, or technical work in the
statistical, social, or economic sciences or in one or more of their
applications"; 8 business specialists-those engaged .in making
"investigations and studies of particular businesses, market practices,
and transportation problems with a view to promoting the commercial
interests of the industries involved"; 9 and investigators-whose
duties re.q uire them to "examine and inspect specified offices, records;
and acc<;mnts, to report conditions, to recommend improvements
in methods and to supervise necessary assistants" .1° For the higher
grade positions in each of these three groups the incumbent must have
had education or training equivalent-to that represented by a college
education, but for the lower grade positions only the economic
analyst need have such training.
In the Government establishments included in this survey there
were 94 __women and 458 men receiving salaries of $1,860 and over
engaged in fact collection, compilation, analysis, and interpretation.
The largest number of these women, 23, were employed in the Children's B,u reau, 13 were in the Women's Bureau, 11 in the Bureau of

3 shows the various establish men ts in which women fact collectors
or analysts were employed in smaller numbers. Sixty-eight per cent
of these women, as compared with 43 per cent of the inen doing
similar work, were classified in the professional service. The larger
proportion of' professio:n.al -women in this group is due to the fact
that women fact collectors or analysts were employed chiefly in
the economic analyst positions where professional education or
equivalent training is a prerequisite, whereas the proportion of men
as compared with women was greater in the business specialist and
investigator groups.
The highest positions attained by women economic analysts
were administrative in character and were included, therefore, in
the administrative group. The chief of the Children's Bureau, the
director of the Women's Bureau, and their assistants were administrators of bureaus whose functions are primarily fact collecting and
analyzing. Two heads of major divisions in the Children's Bureau ·
also were included in .the administrative group. ·
With one exception, in the Bureau of Home Economics,· the wome0:
who were rated . highest in the fact..:collection group, that is; in professional and scientific grade 4, and who were not chief ·a dministrators, wer.e .women employed by the Federal Board for Vocational
Education and in the Bureau of Education as specialist6 in·· home
economics, commercial education, trade and industrial education,
and city schools. The Bureau of the Budget also employed · one

LIBRARY WORK
In the Government bureaus and commissions included in this
report women predominated · in librarian and librarian-assistant
positions which paid $1,860 and over per_annum. Of 75 persons in
the library service in these establishments, 67 were women. Fo~
librarian positions · the minimum qualifications are: "Tuaining
equivalent to that represented by graduation with a degree from an

title of 1.ibrarian unless she has taken a degree from a library school
and had training equivalent to that represented by a coJlege· degree.
Because this study was limited to persons receiving $1,860 and over
and no library assistants received this amount who had not had at
least one year of library study and one year of practical experi nce
or two years of experience in libraries, only women and men with this
experience were included. As a consequence the library assistants
whose records appear as a part of this review were performing the
same kind of service as women in the lower grades of the librarian
group proper. It is not essential, therefore; for the purposes of this
study to make a distinction between these two groups of library
workers.
The largest number of librarians were employed in the Department
of Agriculture. Here there is a departmental library, whose chief
ranks highest among librarians in the departmental service. There
is also a library in each of the major bureaus of the department.
Eleven women receiving $1,860 and over were in the departmental
library; 8 were in the Bureau of Agricultural Economics, 8 were in
the Bureau of Plant Industry, and 15 were scattered through the
other bureaus. The Department of Commerce employed 8 librarians
at $1,860 and over, of whom 5 were women. The Department of
the Interior had 10 librarians, 7 of whom were women. The Department of Labor had 4 women librarians. One or two librarians were
found in each of the other larger Government establishments. The
number of workers in each library receiving salaries of less than
$1,860 is not known. .

REGULATORY WORK
In the regulatory service, that is, the service which enforces such
laws as the food and drug act, the plant quarantine act, the insecticide
act, the immigration laws, just a few persons are assigned to departmental pay rolls. In this review only one woman was found who was
enforcing a law. She was a plant inspector for the Federal Horticultural Board.
DIRECTIVE WORK
Eight of the 73 persons employed to advise disabled soldiers,
sailors, and marines concerning. vocational training or to supervise
such training were women. One was employed by the Federal Board
for Vocational Education, the · others by the Veterans' Bureau.
These women had taken examinations for special agent for industrial
rehabilitation, training assistant, rehabilitation assistant, and rehabilitation aid. No women were employed as placement officers nor as
contact representatives by these bureaus.

In the Children's Bureau the women doctors were concerned with
promoting the welfare and hygiene of ifl.fancy and maternity through

in the Veterans' Bureau usually were assigned to hospital work.
In the 'I'reasury Department the woman physician cared for the

NURSING. AND SOCIAL SERVICE
Although tlxe, Government employs many nurses, only six were in
positions paying $1 1860 and over in the departmental service of the
Government establishments and parts. of establishments included in
this study. One of these was in charge of all nurses-in the. Public
Health S.erviee, and therefore has be·e n included in. the administrative
group. The others, together with one dietitian and a social service
worker, were in the Veterans' Bureau, the Children's Bureau, and the
Treasury Department.
PATENT EXAMINING
Among over 500 patent, examiners,. 13 were women. Of this mimber, 10 were patent examiners proper and 3 were examiners of trademarks and designs. The civil-se:r;vice examination for the latter
position does not require knowledge of physical science or mechanics,
but the applicant must be a college or law-school graduate or have
been admitted to the bar.
CIVlL-SERVICE EXAMINING
Almost all the persons who prepare questions for civil-service
examinations, conduct the examinations, or rate the . papers have
entered the service originally through clerk examinations. These
people have been promoted gradually until some are examiners of
professional and scientific subjects and are given professional rating.
Of 34 examiners in the W ashington office who received $1,860 and
over at the time of the survey, 13 were women. Six of them were
classed in the professional service and 7 in the clerical service.

six women draftsmen, one as highway draftsman in the Bureau of
Public Roads, one as map and chart tracer in the Bureau of Soils,
· and four as topographic draftsmen in the Forest Service. The Post
Office Department had one woman draftsman .
It is quite probable that other women were employed as· copyist
draftsmen at salaries lower than $1,860 per annum, for only drawing
a~d lettering skill and a common-schooi education are required for
the lower drafting positions. Women with drawing ability and no

S CIENTIFIC ILLUSTRATIN_G
Of 32 scientific illustrators receiving $1,860 .and over per annum in
the departments under consideration, 13 were women. Scientific
. illustrators are employed chiefly in the Department of Agriculture
to delineate insects and plants, to color lantern slides, or to make
illustrations for publication. Three women were employed in the
Geological Survey, drawing paleontological specimens. These women
illustrators had all come into the service through an artist or illustrator examination which required, in addition to high-school education, work at an accredited art school or its equivalent in practical
training.

EDITING AND TRANSLATIN G
Since editors in the departmental services receive salaries of $1,860
and over, all are included in this survey. Not all editorial clerks nor
all translators, however, are graded to receive $1,860, so that the
figures in this report on numbers employed in these capacities do
not include all editorial clerks and translators in the Government
service. · Of 49 editors proper, 18 were women. In addition there
were 11 women editorial clerks and 8 women tra.nslators · receiving
$1,860 or more per annum. The largest number of women editors,
12, were employed in the Department of Labor. Five others were
editing manuscript in the Department of Agriculture, and one was
employed by the Tariff Commission. T4e women editorial clerks
receiving $1·,860 and over were in the Veterans' Bureau; throughout
13 No women were employed as lithographic draftsmen; therefore the artistic lithographic group has been

the Dep artment of Agriculture, in the .Bureau of Fisheries, in •the
Bureau of M ines, -a nd in the · Children's Bureau. Women translators
receiving $1,860 and over were found in the Bureau of Chemistry, in
the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, in three bureaus of
the Interior Department, in the · Children's Bureau, and in the
Veterans' Bureau.
Wherever scientific or professional knowledge is essential to editorial work, editors have been classified in the professional service.
Ten women and three men were so classified. All others were classed
in the clerical, administrative, and fiscal service.
The larger number of men and women editors and editorial clerks
had taken editorial-clerk ·or. assistant-editor examinations. A few
had been transferred to editorial work .after entering the service in
other capacities, such as economists,· entomologists, teachers, or
stenographers. The editorial-clerk examination is open to anyone,
regardless of training or experience.
ACCOUNTING AND AUDITING
The income-tax regulations of recent years have created a demand
for many accountants and auditors ' irl the Government service.
Besides the Bureau of Internal Revenue, where the income and
profits tax .liabilities of persons, fiduciaries, partne~ships, and corporations are reviewed, few Government establishments included in
this report employed any number of persons in these capacities. · All
but 4 of the 185 women employed as accountants and auditors or as
assistants in this work and receiving $1,860 and over were employed
in the Bureau of Internal Revenue. In the establishments included
in the survey there were 517 men receiving $1,860 and over as accountants and auditors or their assistants, 85 per cent of whoin were
in the Bureau of Internal Revenue. Only one-half the records of that
bureau were included in 'the survey, and the 'p roportion, if all records
had been included, would be greater.
The large number of women and men employed in these capacities
in the Internal Revenue and Veterans' Bureaus entered the service
through examinations for auditor, cost accountant, or clerk qualified
in accounting. Some were. transferred from other bureaus where they
had served as clerks performing duties which involved accounting or
auditing. In the Federal Trade Commission, which employed 21
men accountants, and in the Tariff Commission, which employed 25
men and 2 women accountants or auditors, the positions were secured
without examination, as the law creating both commissions makes
it possible to appoint "special experts" without examination.
Accounting and auditing positions have l,een divided by the Personnel Classification Boar d into 10 grades, varying from the accounting and auditing· assistant, whose duties involve the examination of

simple tax returns of individuals, fiduciaries, and partnerships according to established rules, to the executive directing the work of a
large staff of accountants and auditors. In this study the executives,
all of whom were men, have been included in the administrative
group, and are not discussed at ·this point .
.The highest grade attained by a woman employed in the establishments studied was grade 10, this woman being senior accountant
and auditor in the Bureau of Internal Revenue. One woman was
allocat ed to grade 9, accountant and auditor;. one to grade 8, associat e accountant and auditor; and 38 to grade 7, assistant accountant
and auditor. The largest number, however, were called principal
accounting and auditing assistants, for whos . work a thorough
knowledge of the· principles and methods of accounting is deemed
necessary, as well as five years' experiene-e m office work, a major
part of which has been accounting.
STENOGRAPHY AND TYPING
All secretarial stenographers, supervisory stenographers, and
stenographers whose work is complex, varied, and of great importance,
and who are counted upon to· care for correspondence requiring.special
knowledge, receive $1,860. and over per annum. Typists do not
receive this amount until they are eligjble for the highest salary
paid to a typist supervisor. In this study,. therefore, only t hose who
were in the higher stenog:raphic and typing positions are included.
Many women and men listed as clerks have entered the service
through stenographer or typist examinations. Although it is probable that these employees still r ender some stenographic or typing
service while performing other clerical duties, th y are called clerks
and have been put in with the clerk group proper.
There, were 407 women and 111 men reccivi g $1,860 and over
per annum in the establishments and parts of est blishments included in this survey who were called stenograph rs, typists, clerkstenographers, or clerk-typists. It is obvious, therefore, that for
women, though not for men, stenography offers the opportunity
for a larger number to secure positions paying as much as $1,860
than do any of the lines of work thus far described.
The largest number of women receiving $.1,860 and over as
stenographers and typists were employed in the Treasury Department, especially in the Bureau of Internal R evenue. Almost all
bureaus had at least one woman stenographer r eceiving $1,860 and
over, and many employed several women and men as clerk-stenographers or clerk-typists at this salary.
· The highest stenograpp.ic positions-occupied by women were those
of secretary-stenographer to the head of a large major division and of
supervisor of a large stenographic section. Such positions were held
21 women and 19 men.

CLERICAL WORK
In order that the possibilities for advancement in the Government service might be more clearly shown, many persons classified
as clerks by the Personnel Classification Board have been included
in this report under the service in which falls the character of the
work they performed. The clerical service, for the purposes of this
report, comprises persons enga,ged in supervising other clerks but
wit hout administrative powers, persons employed in bookkeeping or
administrative accounting but not ranked as accountants and auditors, persons preparing statistical material but not ranked as statistimans, mai1 and file- clerks, pay roll and time clerks, and many
others engaged in general office work.
In s-p ite of the eliminati.on of the specialists from the clerical group,
48 per cent of all women receiving $1,860 and over in the departmental service of the establishments included° i.n this report were
in clerical positions. Of a total of 2;310 clerks in these establishments,
1,046 were women and 1,264 were men. It is, therefore, the field of
service in Government establishments in which the greatest number
of women earn $1,860 and over.
, The citing of individual cases of advancement in the clerical
service may indicate more· clearly how the responsible positions in
this service are gained :
A took an examination for stenographer and typist in 1908
and was appointed to the Forest Service at a salary of $600 per
year. Sixteen years later she was the principal clerk in another
bureau of the same department at a salary of $2,700.
B entered the sBrvice in 1917 as a clerk at $1,200 in the Department of Commerce. In 1920 she took an assistant-auditor
examination and was appointed to the Bureau of Internal Revenue at $1,800. She was gradually promoted and at the time of
the survey was principal clerk with a salary of $2,500.
C was first employed as a messenger at $480 per annum.
Later she took a stenographic examination from which she rose
to supervisory clerk at $1,860.
D entered the service as a printer's assistant.. Prior to the
reclassification she was-chief clerk of a major division in the Treasury Department, and after that became a section chief in the same
office.
·
The Treasury Department offers opportunity of advancement to
a larger number of women clerks than do other departments. The
largest number of better paid women were found in the Bureau of
Internal Revenue and in the Public Debt Service. In the Vetemns'
Bureau also a number of the better clerical positions were. occupied
by women. With these exceptions, however,. the positions of respon-

sibility in the clerical service are · scattered rather thinly throughout
the vairious establishments.
The majority of the women -employed in the departmental service
of the Government establishments covered by 1:}iis survey who were
not included therein were clerks, typists, and stenographers receiving less than $1,860 per annum. All women performing professional
and scientific service, all in administrative positions, and all but a
few in accountant and auditing and subprofessional positions were
included in .this review. With the exception of women who did
cleaning and women in the mechanical service the remaining thousands were in the lower paid clerical positions. From this point of
view, namely, that approximately one woman in 10 entering and
remaining in the clerical service reaches a position paying $1,860 and
over, the advantages of entering positions which may lead to professional and scientific grades seem much greater than the advantages
attending experience in clerical work.
.
SALARIES OF AND ABOVE $1,860 PER ANNUM PAID IN
POSITIONS HELD BY WOMEN
In the foregoing pages ·stress has been laid on the occupational
status at,tained by women in the Government service, the salaries
haviaj:(been discussed only with reference to the base line of $1,860.
A close scrutiny of salaries of and above $1,860 paid to women is
necessary, however, to a full knowledge of the opportunities for
women iri .such employment.
. As already stated, only 16 per cent of the women in the departmental service of the Government establishments included in this
survey (exclusive of the Treasury Department) received as much as
$1,860 per annum. When the half of the Treasury records, taken
alphabetically, are included, 45 in every 100 women who were paid
$1,860 and over per annum received salary of exactly $1,860; that
is, of 2,176 women included in this salary study, 45 per cent were in
positions paying the $1,860 salary and 55 per cent were in positions
paying more than that. The large proportion receiving exactly
$1,860 is due prin1arily to the fact that 52.8 per cent of the women
clerks classified as receiving $1,860 and over and 57.2 per cent of the
women stenographers and typists so classified-the occupations in
which two-thirds of the women covered in this study are employedreceived salaries of exactly $1,860 per annum. In the accounting
service more than a fourth, and in the library service more than a
third, received $1,860. This amount is the lowest sum that ca~ be
paid in the professional and scientific service, yet 31 per cent of the
women scientists and almost 27 per cent of the women in the factcollection group received this amount.

The highest ainotint paid to a woman m the establishments covered in this survey was $6,500, the salary of the woman Civil Service
Commissioner. Salaries of $5,200 and over were paid to only 10
women, 8 of whom were in the administrative service, 1 in the co.operative extension service, and 1 in the fact-collection service.
Salaries of $3,600 and over were paid to 12 women in the administrative service, 7 women in scientific research and investigation,
5 women in cooperative extension work, and 8 women engaged in
fact collection, comp1lation, and analysis. One librarian and 1
woman editor also received $3,600 ot more. In short, of the many

as $300 a month.

positions ~re shown in Table 5.
ESTABLISHMENTS PAYING SPECIFIED SALARIES .
•
Table 6 lists the salaries ·paid women receiving $1,860 and over in
the several Government establishments. Naturally the numbers
receiving exactly $1,860 were largest in .the bureaus in which the
greater number of clerks and stenographers were employed, that is,
the Veterans' Bureau, the Bureau of Internal Revenue, and the .
Public Debt Service. However, the proportiQns receiving ex;actly ,
$1,860 of all those receiving $1,860 and over in establishD?-ents
employing at least 25 women at such salaries, were greatest in the
office of the Treasurer of the United States and in the Public Debt
Service (assuming ·that the records copied for these two offices are
representative of the other half) , in the Bureau of Pensions, and in the
Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce. The reason for these
conditions will be better understood as the salaries paid are related
to the positions held by women in specific bureaus.
It is pertinent to call attention here to the fact that of the 35
women here included who received $3,600 and over, 15 were in the
Department of Agriculture, 8 in the D~partment of Labor, 6 with _the
Federal Board for Vocational Education, and 3 in the Bureau of
Education.
SALARIES IN ADMINISTRATIVE POSITIONS
The classification act of 1923 classified commissioners and bureau
chiefs in the professional and scientific service when professional
and scientific knowledge is essential to the proper administration of
specific Government organizations; and classified such employees
14 Attention should be called to the f~ t that salary records were not obtained for 12 women medical offi cers
and 10 women patent examiners employed in the departments included in this report. Whether any of
these 22 women received $3,600 and over is not known.

THE STATUS OF WOMEN IN THE GOVERNMENT SERVICE
in the ·administrative service when such knowledge is not necessary.
Within each service, however, the act has made corresponding
gradings for the higher positions; that is, grade 7 in the professional
and scientific service corresponds to grade 14 in the administrative
service, grade 6 in ·the professional and scientific to grade 13 in the
administrative, grade 5 to grade 12, and grade 4 to grade 11. The
chiefs of major professional or scientific· bureaus and the chiefs of
large organizations having important administrative or investigatory
functions are graded as professional and scientific 6 (P 6) or as
administrative 13 ( CAF 13) . The directors of small bureaus, the
assistant directors of large bureaus, and even the administrative
heads of major divisions of a bureau are classified as professional 5 or
administrative 12. The higher grades, professional 7 and administrative 14, are given to executive departmeJ?.t heads, assistant department heads, heads of bureaus or commissions handling exceptionally
important matters, and scientists or attorneys to whom are assigned
especially difficult problems.
The highest grades attained by women in administrative positions
at the time of the survey were 6 in the professional service and 13 in
the administrative service. The Civil Service Commissioner, the
Ohief of the Children's Bureau, ·and the Chief of the Bureau of Home
Economics were so clas ified. The Civil Service Commissioner received the same salary ·as one man commissioner-$6,500 per annum;
the two bureau chiefs received the minimum salary for their grades,
which was also the prevailing salary paid to men chiefs of bureaus
similarly graded in the Department of Agriculture and the Departrdent of Labor. Men chiefs in other departments and commissions
were graded in administrative 13 and professional 6 or in administrative 14, those in administrative 13 and professional 6 usually being
paid the highest ·salaries for such grade, that is, $7,500. This exceptional amount was paid men who had been receiving this rate before
the classification act of 1923 went into effect, since after July 1, 1924,
no new salaries of $7,500 for administrative 13 and professional 6 were
per~itted for only one person i~ the grade.15 The two other women

"The effect of the enactment in question to the average provisions will be to prevent promotions on and

heads . of bureaus or commission-s were classed in the professional 5
and administrative 12 grades, respectively, as heads of small bureaus,
and ,received the minimum salary with seven men chiefs of bureaus.
The salaries of women assistant chiefs ranged from $3,300 to $5,200,
while the rates for men varied from $3,800 to $7,500. (See Table 8.)
The largest number of men responsible for work of major divisions
within these bureaus and establishments were classed in the same
gra'de and given the same salaries as chiefs of small bureaus. More
than 80 per cent of these men were classified in professional 5 or
administrative 12, receiving salaries varying from $5,200 to $6,000
per annum. Two of the five women division heads also were put in
these grades but received the minimum salary of the grades, $5,200 .
M(;}n heads of secondary div.isions were more frequeniJy classed as
adminis~rative 11 or professional 4., although the two women occupying similar positions were in administrative 10 and subprofessional 8, respectively, and received $3,500 and $3,000.
The salaries of chief clerks, disbursing officers, and appointment
officers varied from $2,300 to $5,600, and the grading varied from
clerical 5 to administrative 12. This range of salaries and gra s
is due primarily to the differences in the amount of business that
must be attended to by these officials. Naturally, the chief clerk
of a department carries a much heavier burden than do the chief
clerks .of bureaus within that department. The chief clerk of the
Treasury Department ranks in importance with the head of a small
bureaur whereas the chief clerks of divisions within the Treasury
are graded 9 or 10 and receive correspondingly lower salaries. At
the time of the survey, no woman serving in these· capacities was
rated higher than administrative 9 or received more than $3,000
per annum. The woman chief clerk and disbursing officer of the
Bureau of Efficiency was graded only as a senior clerk; the chief
clerk of the Women 's Bureau and the chief clerk in the office of the
Third Assistant PQstmaster General were in administrative 7. The
woman chief clerk of the Divi8ion of Money Orders (Post Office
Department) , the personnel officer in the Bureau of the Census, and
promoted during the fiscal year 1925 to a higher salary rate than fi xed under section 6 of t he classification
act, they must be reduced on J uly 1, 1925, t o the salary rat e to which t hey were entitled as of July 1, 1924,
in accordance with t he rules of section 6 of t he classificafom act.
"Your specific question relates t o whether such reductions in grade 13 of the clerical, administrati ve, and
fis~al service and grad~ 6 of the professional and scientific service shall be at the rate of $6,500 per annum
or $6,750 per annum. On decision of t his office dated June 26, 1924, 3 Comp. Gen ., 1003, it was held:
" ' * • * Of course, it must not be understood that in order t o bring t he rates of compensati on within
the average a rate other than one aut horized under t he classification act may be fixed or paid.'
"This will be equally applicable t o one position in a grade on and after July 1, 1925. 'l' he salary rates
for the two grades you mention are $6,000, $6,500, $7,000, and $7,500 per annum, and the mathematical
average is $6,750 per an num, which is not one of the salary rates of the grade fixed by t he classification act.
The necessary reductions in salaries of persons holding the only position in a grade who were. pro oted
during the fiscal year 1925 from $6,000 or $5,500 to $7,000 or $7,500 per annum, must be to the salary rate of
$6,500 per annum on July 1, 1925. (United States, Decisions of the Comptroller General, v. 4, July 1, 1924,

,THE STAT'US OF WOMEN IN Tl:{E GOVERNMENT · SER.VICE
the woman disbursing officer .of the Civil Service Commission were
in grade 8, while the chief clerk of the Children's Bureau was in
· grade 9. Men chief clerks of divisions within offices of the Post
Office Department fr~quently were rated as administrative 9 and
received $3,000 per annum, which is several hundred dollars ·more
per year than was paid the two women chief clerks in the Post Office
Department.
The prevailing salary for both women and men heads of minor
clerical divisions or assistant heads of secondary divisions was $·3,000.
Twenty-nine per cent of the men, however, received more than this
amount.
Administrative assistants received salaries ranging from $2,400" to
$3,000. Forty-five per cent of the 40 :women and 34½ per cent of
the 261 men holding such positions received the lowest salary. The
highest salary was paid to 17 ½ per cent of the women and to 11 per
cent of the men. The higher salaried women administra.tive assistants were in the Veterans' Bureau, ifi the office of the Secretary of
Agriculture, in the Bureau of Public Roads, and in the office of the
(i>mmissioner of Internal Revenue.
A detailed statement of salaries in the administrative service will
be found in Table 8. Approximately five-sixths of the women
administrators, or 83.8 per cent, as comp~red with 54 per cent of the
men administrators, received less than $3,800 per annum-the minimum salary for professional 4 and administrative 11. It is apparent,
therefore, that women not only have made little inroad into the
administrative service from the point of view of numbers but have
received the higher salaries to only a limited extent. ·
SALARIES IN SCIENTIFIC POSITIONS
The minimum salary paid a scientist since July 1, 1924, is $1,860
per annum. To state without explanation, however, t~at more _than
a fourth of the women engaged in scientific research receive_d the
minimum salary at the time of the itudy, would make it appear that
women have not advanced far in the field of science. _As an actual
fact, women scientists were appointed to the Government service as
late as 1923 at $1,200 plus the bonus, and in 1918 $1,000 plus "'the
boi:rns was a common entrance salary in some bureaus. An increase
of from 29 per cent to 50 per cent in salary over a period of six years or
less of service indicates real advancement on the part of women
scientists. Yet one-half were classified in the lowest professional
grade ana received salaries ranging from $1,860 to $2,400. (See
Table 9.)
Twenty-two women scientific researchers were in grade 2 positions
receiving $2,400 to $3-,000. Eleven on the research staff and 2 in
the cooperative extension service were in grade 3, receiving $3,000 to

:t3,600. Seve~ women laboratory workers and 4 women in cooperative extension work were in grade 4 and 1 woman in cooperative
: , eitension work (other than those in the administrative group) was
in grade .5-the 12 receiving salaries of from $3,800 to $5,200 per
aimum.
· The larger relative number _of lower salaried women were physicists or botanists. Few-women were employed in these fields prior
to 1918. Women chemist's and pathologists have been employed in
the Government service over a much longer period. Their salaries,
' therefore, cover a wider range. Even so, the highest paid women
chemists-one at $4,600 and one at $4,200-had entered the Bureau
of Home Economics as experienced chemists comparatively recently.
The highest salary received by a woman chemist who had been in the
service many years was $3,800. While no woman pathologist earned
more than $3,300, it is also true that but one received the lowest
salary, $1,860. The· distribution of women receiving various salary
rates in grades 1 and 2 was wider among pathologists than in any
· other group.
The seven women scientists engaged in cooperative extension work
·a nd attached to· the Washington office were all experienced scientists
when they entered the service. Their salaries at the time of the
' survey ranged from $3,200 to $5,200 per annum, the latter amount
being the highest received by a woman scientist who was not also
chief of a bureau. With the exception of two in the Bureau of Dairying, they were employed in the extension service in the Department
of Agriculture.
Careful scrutiny of Tables 9 and 13 will show that the best salaries
offered to women scientists of experience were paid in the Bureau of
Home Economics and the Extension Service. This is revealed also
by a study of the salaries paid to women entering the service in
192.4 -25. Appointments from four examinations for home-economic
~pecialists were made in the nine months included in this study.
One woman was appointed f;om the junior examination and received the minimum salary for a scientist; one was appointed from the
assistant home economic specialist examination and received $2,400 ;
four were appointed from an associate home economic specialist
examination and were paid $3,000; and two were appointed as home
economic specialists at $3,800.
The only other woman appointed to a scientific position during this
period was a chemist. Although she had passed an assistant chemist
examination, she was appointed to a junior chemist position and received the minimum salary of a junior chemist. This was not,
necessarily, a matter of discrimination against her sex, for a man
passing the same examination a.nd men passing assistant physicist
examinations also were appointed to lower grade positions than they
h ad demonstrated their ability to fill.

THK STATUS OF WOMEN IN 'J!HE GOVERNMENT ' SER-VICE
S ALARIES IN LEGAL POSITIONS
The minimum salary paid in the attorney group proper is the same
as the minimum salary paid in the scientific group , $1,860. The ·15
women classified in the attorney group in the establishments covered
by this review, which, it should be remembered, did not include the
Department of Justice, received from' $2,100 to $31,500 per annum,
9 receiving $2,400 or less. The 2 women law· clerks classed in the
subprofessional service received $2,100 and $2,400, respectively.
Of the 87 law examiners and law clerks put in the clerical service, 40
received $1,860, 42 received over $1,860 but less than $2,400, and 5
received $2,400. It is obvious, therefore, that women had not so
good a salary standing in the legal profession in the establishm~nts
included in this survey as they had in the scientific group, for while
94 per cent of the women legal workers received from $1,860' to
$2,400, inclusive, but 65 per cent of the women scientists received
less than $2,500.
Table 10 makes plain that the claims examiners in the Bureau of
P ensions received the lower salaries in larger numbers than did
examiners in other establishments. Sixty-two per cent of the
women examiners and reviewers received just $1,860. These women
were in c erical 3, 4, and 5. Only 34 per cent of the men pens.i:on
examiners received $1,860. More than 27 per cent of them were
in grades higher than clerical 6, and were called reviewers, administrative examiners, or attorneys. .Although women had entered the
Bureau of Pensions through the same examination as had men who
were graded higher than clerical 6, and although some women had
had as much experience as had the men in examining and reviewing
claims, no women were employed in the h_igher claims-examining
positions.
In the General Land Office women examiners were put in clerical
7, although men examiners were also in grades 8 and 9 and in the
pr~fessional service. Some of these women as well as some of the
men were on mineral-claims examining. The largest proportion of
women received less than $2,100, $2.,400 being the highest salary
received by a woman law examiner in the General Land Office,
whereas almost one-half the men received $2,400 or more.
No women were appointed to probational legal positions between
July 1, 1924, and March 1, 1925. Of the 28 men appointed, 2 landlaw clerks began at $1,500 per annum and 26 who took the insuranceclaims examination and · the naturalization-law examinations received beginners' salaries of $1,860 per annum. (Table 7.)

THE · STATUS O·F WOMEN· IN THE GOVERNMENT SER.VICE

SALARIES OF EMPLOYEES· ENGAGED IN PACT COLLECTION, COMPILATION,. AND ANALYSIS
Although as. large a. proportion of women engaged in fact collection, compilation, and analysis or interpretation as in the scientific
service received the minimum salary of $1 ,860 per annum, not so
large a percentage of women in the fact-gathering service were in
the lower- salary grades. Fifty per cent of the women scientists
were in professional 1, whereas 34 per cent of the women .fact collectors and analysts were in professional 1 and the corresponding
salary grade 5 in the clerical service, with 5.4 per cent in the lower
clerical grades. As a result, a larger proportion of women fact
coll~ctors and analysts than of women scientists were in professional
2 or clerical 7, with a correspondingly larger number receiving
salaries of $2,400 to $3 ,000 among the fact collectors and analysts
than among the scientific group. While ~rn per cent of the women
employed in the fact collection and analysis service were receiving
$2,400 and under $3,000, only 26· per cent of the women scientists
received these amounts. In the higher salary ranges, $3,800 and
over, the per cents in the two occupations were practically the same.
The wide difference in the proportions of women and of men rece,iving the lower salaries in the fact collection and analysis service
is seen more especially among the economic analysts. Both men
and women given this title had met the same general educational
requirements, yet but 2 per cent of the men received $1,860, the
minimum salary paid an economic analyst, while 28 per cent of the
women economie analysts were paid this amount. Nine of the 12
women business specialists earned less than $2,400, as compared
with about a fourth of the 165 men specialists. (See T able 11.)
Seven of the 11 women census agents, as compared with 24 of the 42
men census agents, received less than $2, 400 per annum. Even ·in
the field of education, where but one person received. less than $2,400,
the proportion of women in the lower salary grades of the group was
greater, and the proportion in the higher salary groups smaller) than
were the proportions of men.
One of the interesting facts disclosed by Table 11 is that in several
of the Government establishments which had a number of employees
in a fact collection and analysis seryice the mirjmum salary received
by any person in this service was $2,100. In the Bureau of Efficiency,
the Federal Board for Vocational Education, the Tariff Commission, the Bureau of Education, not to name other bureaus employing
but a few economists, no fact collector nor analyst was employed at
less than $2,100. The establishments named were among those in
which the high~r salaries were paid for fact collection and analysis,
but to the list of those paying higher salaries to economic analysts

and business specialists -must be added the Bureau of Agricultu1'fil
Economics and the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce. ·
Women were employed in higher salaried positions as analysts of
educational ·p roblems in two of these bureaus, the Federal Board -for
Vocational Education ·and the Bureau of Education. In the establishments empl_o ying 25 or more persons in the capacity of fact collectors or analysts, that is, the Tariff Commission, the Bureau -of
Agricultural Economics, the Bureau of the Census, and the Bureau
of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, only 4 women-3 in the Bureau
of the Census and 1 in the Tariff Commission-received $3,000 ' or
over, as compared with 178 men, the highest salary for women
being $3,300 and, that for men $6,000. In the two bureaus in which
fact gathering and analysis other than administrative were done
entirely by women, 4 other women received $3,000 and $3,100 per
annum. This is exclusive, of course, of the 6 women administrative
economists in these two bureaus.
,
It would appear th at while salary opportunities for the woman
economist, as evidenced by the salaries received by women to-day,
are no greater in the field of business and agricultural statis,t ics than
in the field of social and labor statistics, the agencies for business and
agricultural statistics are the establishments in which the-larger num.,.
her of higher salaried positions are found. The work was being done
by men at the time of the survey, but women are eligible for such
positions.
Table 7 shows the examinations from which appointments had
been made recently and the beginning salaries. A woman researcher
for the Civil Service Commission was appointed at a salary of $1;500;
a special agent for the Women's Bureau at $1,680, and two women
financial economists for the Treasury · Department at $2,400 and
$3,000, respectively. Men were appointed as statisticians or economists at $1 ,860, $2,400, $3,000, $3,800, and $5,200, as business
specialists at $2,400 and $3,000, and as investigators at $1,860-and
$2,400 per annum.
SALARIES IN LIBRARIES
The highest grade that can be obtained by a. librarian in the uepartmental service of executive establishments is grade 4 in the pro.:.
fessional service; the highest salary, according to the present class
specifications of the Personnel Classification Board, is $5,000. The
librarian of the · Department of Agriculture was the only librarian
classified in the highest grade at the time of the survey, but her
salary was not $5,000, but $3,800, the minimum salary paid a grade 4
librarian. (See Table 12.)
The librarians of the Department of Commerce and the Depa:rt.:.
ment of Labor were classed as grade 3 librarians, as were the chief
librarians of the Bureaus of Agricultural Economics, Entomology,

33
Plant Industry, and Standards; and the first assistant in• the· Department of Agriculture library. These librarians, the one man as
well as the six women, all received the minimum salary of grade 3,
or $3,000.
The assistant librarians in the libraries named above, and the
principal librarian in some of the bureaus, were in grade 2. All but
two of these received the minimum salary of the grade, or $2,400.
Two of the library assistants who were classed in the clerical service
also recejved $2,400 per annum.
More than half the librarians proper had been put in the lowest
librarian grade. The salaries received by these 26 women and 1
man were paid also to 22 women and 4 men library assistants classified in the subprofessional or ·clerical service. Therefore, of all per.:
sons receiving $1,860 and over in the department libraries of the
executive establishments included in this report, more than a third
received salaries of $1,860, and 71 per cent earned less than $2,400
per annum:
It is obvious that this, the one profession in which women have
gained a firm foothold in executive establishments of the Government,
does not afford to-day as good salary opportunities either·for women
or for men as do the other professions.
SALARIES PAID CIVIL-SERVICE EXAMINERS
Women civil-service examiners included in this report received
from $1,860 to $3,000 per annum. Beginning salaries paid examiners, however, were below the · $1,860 level, as evidenced by the
appointment of a woman examiner at $1,500 since July 1, 1924.
(Table 7.) It is probable, therefore, that there were other examiners
receiving less than $1,860 who were not included in this report.
The women civil-service examiners covered in this review had all
had ·at least five years' experience, and several had had more than
20 years' experience ·in the Government service. While they were
classed in both the clerical and the professional service, the difference
in service classification is not directly related to salaries. Women
examiners receiving $1,860 were graded in professional 1 and clerical 4
and 5; women receiving $2,100 to $2,400 were graded as professional
2 or clerical 5 and 6; and of the two women receiving $3,000, one was
in professional 3 and 1 in clerical 9. The same condition prevailed
among men exammers. (See Table 13.)
SALARIES OF EXAMINERS OF TRADE-MARKS AND DESIGNS
The initial salary paid to examiners of trade-marks and designs,
wh~ther men or women, was $1,860 per _annum. (Table 7.) The
three women examiners in the Government service at the time these
records were taken had had . some experience and were receiving
https://fraser.stlouisfed.org

34
THE STATUS OF WOMEN IN THE GOVERNMENT SER.VICE
a
salaries of $2,100 and $2,400. The highe-s t salary·paid man trademark examiner was $2,500. (See Table 13.)
•
SALARIES OF DRAFTSMEN
Table 7 shows the variation in beginning salaries paid to draftsmen
of different types since July 1, 1924. Architectural, mechanical, and
hydrographic draftsmen begin at $1,860 per annum, copyist topographic draftsmen begin at $1,320 and $1 1500, copyist draftsmen at
$1,680, apprentice draftsmen and topographic aids-at $1,140.
The one woman architectural draftsman of experience included in
this survey received $2,400. Men architectural draftsmen in the
same bureau received $1,860 to $3,000. The two women draftsmen
in the Coast and Geodetic Survey received $3,000, the highest salary
paid a man draftsman in this service being $3-,800. The chief woman
draftsman in the Forest Service received $2,400. All other women
were paid $·2,100 or less. (See Table 14.)
While the larger number of women were in the lower paid positions
and in the subprofessional service, a few women had made such
headway in this field as to be classed in the professional engineering
service and to receive correspondingly higher salaries.
SALARIES OF SCIENTIFIC ILLUSTRATORS AND SCIENTIFIC AIDS
According to the class specifications of the P ersonnel Classification
Board, scientific illustrators may receive salaries of from $1,500 to
$3,000 per annum. Those employed in the departmental service
Qf the executive establishments included in this report received as
high as $2,800, although $2,400 per annum was the prevailing salary
of men illustrators and $1,860-was the salary received by the largest
number of women illustrators. Most of the women were classified
in the subprofessional service, grade 6, in which no salary higher
than $2,400 can be had, whereas about one-half of the men illustrators were in grade 8, in which salaries ranged from $2,400 to $3,000;
No woman illustrator received the maximum salary of grade 6, for
$2,100 was the highest rate paid a woman engaged in this work.
(See Table 15.)
In all but five cases the scientific aids who received $1,860 or over
per annum in the early part of 1925 were men. The five women
·received salaries of $1,860, $2,200, and $2,400. As only a fifth of
the men scientific aids were paid as much as $2,400, the opportunities
for women to .obtain this amount and more as scientific aids probably
are few.
According to Table 7, three women ~J). tered this service between
July 1, 1924, and March 1, 1925. The laboratory aid in nematology
began at a rate of $1,320 per annum. The assistant scientific aids
m museum history and in biology received beginning salaries of
$1,500.

SALARIES OF EDITORS AND TRANSLATORS
The highest salary paid a woman editor was $3,800; the highest
salary paid a man editor was $3,900. Half of the 18 women editors
received $2,100, but not more than $2,400, whereas 25 of the 31 men
editors received $2,500 and over. With one exception, all women
editorial clerks received $2,1 00 and less-half of them less-while all
men editorial clerks, with one exception, received $2,100 and morehalf of them more. (See Table 16.)
The highest salary received by a woman translator was $2,400; by
a man translator, $3,000.
Considered together, not so large a proportion of women jn positions
paying $1,860 and over received exactly $1,860 in the editorial and
translation service as in other professional services. At least $2,100
was the more usual salary for women editors and editorial clerks:
However, it must be remembered that editorial clerks and translators
may be paid salaries lower than $ 1,860, so that the salary comparison,
if all persons in this service were included, would probably read somewhat differently.
SALARIES IN ACCOUNTING AND AUDITING POSITIONS
As _in many o~her occupations, so in accountancy, more than a
fourth of the women receiving a_salary of $1,860 and over per annum
received just $1,860, whereas less than 6 per cent of men in accounting
were paid this amount. Seventy-three per cent of the women and
23 per cent of the men employed in this group in executive establishments or parts of e·s tablishments included in this report received less
than $2,400 per annum. (See Table 17 .)
It follows that women in aecounting and auditing positions were
more numerous in the lower grade positions than were men. Of
those included in. this survey, almost 17 of every 100 women in
accountancy, as compared with 1 of every 100 men, were in grade 4;
25 of every 100 women, as compared with 10 of every 100 men,
we-re in grade 5; and 36 of every 100 women, as against 18 of every 100
men, were in grade 6. The grades in which the largest number of men
were found were 7 and 9, whereas the largest number of women were
allocated to grades 5 and 6.
These salary rates and grade differences may have been due entirely .
to differences in the kind and quantity of wOTk done by men and
women in the accounting service. However, some light is thrown o:rr
the subject by Table 7. This table shows that four men who had
passed the civil service examination for junior auditor, consolidated
audit division, were offered and accepted positions at entrance
salaries of $2,100 and $2,400. One-woman who had passed the senior
auditor examination, consolidated audit division, was offered and

'. THE STATUS OF WOMEN IN THE . GOVERNMENT-· SERVICE
accepted a position at $1,860 per annum. In other words, the m;en
were offered higher salaries upon passing a junior examination (which
expressly calls for a lower degree of qualification) than the woman was
offered after having passed a senior test.
SALARIES OF STENOGRAPHERS AND TYPISTS
The lowest salary paid typists entering the departmental· service
is $1,140, and the lowest salary paid stenographers is $1,320. As
may be seen in Table 7, however, some few enter the Government
service at higher rates. Of the 172 women typists appointed to the
service from July 1, 1924, to March 1, 1925, about one-eighth received
$1,260 or $1,320, while the other women received the minimum salary
rate. Of the 127 men typists appointed, almost one-half received
$1,320 as a beginning salary. Two hundred and eight women and 45
men were appointed to stenographic positions during the same period.
All but 3 per cent of the women and 13 per cent of the men received
the lowest salary. More than 3 per cent of the women and 13 per
cent of the men stenographers received $1,500. In addition, one
woman and one man secretary-stenographer were appointed, the
woman at $1,500 and the man at $1,680.
· It is not .s urprising, therefore, to find a larger proportion of women
stenographers and typists in the lower classified grades and '~t the
lower salary rates, as may be seen in Tables 4 and 18. It is interesting,
however, to find that the highest salary paid a stenographer, $2,700,
was received by one woman as w_ell as by two men in the Treasury
Department and that 13 women and 10 men in all ·establishments
studied received $2,400 and over.
SALARIES IN CLERICAL POSITIONS
The minimum salary paid to a clerk entering _the departmental
service after July 1, 1924, was $1,020. (Table 7.) This amount was
paid to one man and one woman. The largest number of clerks
entered the service at $1,140. A variation occurred in the beginning
salaries for different types of clerical work. Some men bookkeepers
began with a salary of $1,680 and women finger-print classifiers
received $1,680. Although a woman statistical clerk began with
$1,140 and 2 other statistical clerks with $1,500, the larger number
received $1,320 at the start. All file clerks except 2 men began at
$1,140. Three women and 96 men were appointed from the general
clerical register; one-sixth of the men received $1,320, while fivesixths began at a salary of $1,140.
Among office-device operators, the telegraph operators received
the highest initial salary, or $1,680. Telephone operators began at
$1,140 and addressograph operators (men) received $1,320 and

r-
THE STATUS OF WOMEN IN THE .GOVERNME-NT SERVICE

- $1,440. Women calculating-machine operators began at $1,140,
.· $1,320, and $1,500. Graph.otype and mimeograph operators began
a.t $1,140.
As stated elsewhere, only a few office-device operators received
the salaries covered by this report, $2,400 being the highest salary
received. The highest salary paid to other clerks was $2 ,700, received by 8 women and 40 men, or less than 1 in every 100 women and
abou_t 3 in every 100 men who received $1 ,860 and over in clerical
capacities. (See Table 19.)
When consideration is given to the many thousands of women
, engaged in clerical work in Washington, it is .not encouraging to find
that only 29 were receiving $2,400 and over in the establishments
included in this report, and that only 494 were receiving over $1,860
per annum. For men, who have not crowded into the clerical occupations in such great numbers as women, the opportunities are somewhat
better, 871 receiving more than $1,860 per annum and 168 receiving
$2,400 and more in the establishments whose records were reviewed.
CHANGES MADE IN SALARY RATES AS A RESULT ·OF
RECLASSIFICATION
As stated elsewhere, the compensation to be paid to civilian em·' ployees in positions of like responsibility and difficulty within the
departmental service was fixed by the classification act of 1923.
This act names the annual salary rates which are to be paid in positions allocated to the several grades within five established services.
The salary adjustments necessary after positions had been reclassified were to be made in accordance with these rules, laid down in the
act: 16
~
SEC. 6. That in determining the compensation to be established initially for
. the several employees the following rules shall govern:
1. In computing the existing compensation of an employee, any bonus which
the employee receives shall be included.
2. If the employee is receiving compensation less than the minimum rate of
the grade or class thereof in which his duties fall, the compensation shall be
increased to that minimum rate.
3. If the employee is receiving compensation within the range of salary pre•
scribed for the appropriate grade at one of the rates fixed therein, no change shall
be made in the existing· compensation.
4. If the employee is receiving compensation within the range of salary pre•
scribed for the appropriate grade, but not at one of the rates fixed therein, the ·
compensation shall be increased to the next higher rate.
5. If the employee is not a veteran of the Civil War, or a widow of such veteran,
and is receiving compensation in excess of the range of salary prescribed for the
appropriate grade, the compensation shall be reduced to the rate within the
grade nearest the present compensation.
6. All new appointments shall be made at the minimum rate of the appro•
priate grade or class thereof.

It is obvious that the intention of the act was to establish _a uniform compensation scale througholLt the departmental service and
that radical changes in salary would occur only where rate ine.qu_alitie8.
were large. It is not -surprising, therefore, to find from Tables 20
and 21 _that the larger· proportion of women - and men receiving
$1,860 and over at that time did not experience any change in salary
rates, or experienced only the small adjustments necessary to bring
a salary to the identical figure established by law. Practically all
but a few of the salary increases of less than 5 per cent were- occasioned by such changes. For example, $I ,840 was not an uncomrnon
rate prior to July 1, 1924, but as it was not a rate according to the classification act of 1923, the employees receiving it were given the newly
established figure of $1,860. To meet the established grade rates,
salaries were changed from $2,040 to $2,100, from $2;240 to $2-r300,
from $3,240 to $3,300, from $31,860 to $4.,000, and so on throughout.
the compensation scale. More than three-fourths of the women re-·
ceiving at the time of this survey $1,860 and over in the establishments studied had no change in salary or had an adjustment of less
than 5 per cent. Fifty-eight per cent of the men classified at the
time of the survey in the $1,860-and-over group received no increase
or one under 5 per cent.
This difference in the proportions of men and women at and beyond
the $1,860 base line who received little or no change in salary through
reclassification means, however, that but 21 per cent of the women as
compared with 39 per cent of the men received adjustments of 5 per
cent or more. Three per cent of the women and 3 per cent of the
men employees receiving $1,860, and over suffered decreases in sulary
rates. Table 20 shows that while appro.ximately 10 per cent of the
men with salaries of $1,860 and over received adjustments of 25
per cent or more, not more than about 3 per cent of the women with
salaries of $1,860 and over had any such advancement in their salary
rates.
The 25 per cent or more increase in salaries occurred chiefly in
the higher ranks of the administrative service. Thirty-seven per
cent of the men chiefs of bureaus and independent establishments
received increases of 25 per cent or more, although an equal proportion of meri chiefs had no change whatsoever in salary rates. Fortysix per cent of the assistant chiefs and more than one-fourth of the
men heads of primary divisions and chief clerks had 25 per cent
increases in salary.
Although some of the big increases in the salaries of bureau chiefs
and commissioners were necessary to place such positions in the
grades to which they were assigned, in the majority of cases they
were the result of granting the chief the highest salary that could_
be paid the head of a large or important bureau. Instead of bringing
https://fraser.stlouisfed.org
Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis
THE ST"ATUS- O·F ·WOMEN IN THE GOVERNME NT SERVICE
39
about a uniform salary rate for such positions, the adjustments
caused the prevailing salaries for chiefs in some bureaus to be $1,500
higher than for chiefs in other bureaus.17
The large proportion of assistant chiefs of bureaus who received
increases in salary of 25 per cent or more was occasioned by a tendency
to bring the salary rate of such assistants to $·5,200, whereas earlier
rates had been as low as $3,000. In spite of this attempt at standardization, the salaries of assistant chiefs- men and women-varied
by more than 127 per cent, and the salary of bureau chiefs and
commissioners varied by about 92 per cent.
A greater degree of standardization o-f salary rate by reclassification
has resulted among men administrative heads of primary divisions,
since nearly 60 per cent received $5,200 per annum at the time of
the· survey. The larger number of chief clerks receiving increases
of 25 per cent and more were in the Post Office Department. Here
the chief clerks of the five principal offices were given the same
salary, $5,200, while the men chief clerks of divisions within those
offices were given $3,000 and $3,100-usually an increase of about
34 per cent-and the two women were given $2,400 and $2, 700inci'eases of 12 per cent and 8 per cent, respectively.
The only other group in which increases of 25 per cent and more
were received by as much as on~-fiftb of the employees was draftsmen.
More -than 20 per cent of the draftsmen, men and women, received
such material salary increases. These adjustments occurred chiefly
in the Coast and Geodetic Survey, where engineering draftsmen
were classed in the professional service. The big increases were
necessary in order that the minimum salary of each grade -might be
given to those classified in that grade. The draftsmen in the Co-ast
and Geodetic Survey were thus paid at the same salary level as
draftsmen in the Veterans' Bureau, the Coast Guard, and the Supervising Architect's office.
Salaries of women stenographers, typists, and clerks receiving
$1,860 and over per annum were least affected by reclassification.
App:roximately 83 per cent of the women in these occupations did
not receive as much as a 5 per cent increase. About three-fourths
of the men clerks' and stenographers' salaries were not affected
materially by reclassification.
The only group of positions employing at least 50 men and 50
women in which increases were received by a larger proportion of
women than men was the fact collection and analysis group.
A number of women had been serving as economic analysts at salaries_
below the minimum of the professional grade in which they were
classified. Their salaries were raised to the minimum of their
respective grades, a standard which men in the same general character

THE BTATUS OF WOM.EN IN THE GOVERNMENT SERVICE
of positions had more nearly approached prior to June 30, 1924.
Among scientists, 63 per cent of the women as compared with 47 per
cent of the men; among legal workers, 71 per cent of the women as
compared with 52 per cent of the men; among accountants, 75 per
cent of the women as compared with 68 per cent of the men, had no
salary change or an increase of less than 5 per cent.
The older the department the greater would seem to be the salary
adjustments necessary to bring the salaries therein on a level with
those paid in the bureaus and commissions established in recent"
years. Table 21 indicates, however, that this is true only to a
limited extent. A comparatively large proportion of women and
men received increases of 5 per cent or more in the Post Office departmental service, but in the Departments of Agriculture, Commerce, and the Interior-all long-established departments-almost
as small a proportion of women received increases of 5 -per cent or
more as the proportion of women ~ granted such changes in the
recently ·organized Veterans' Bureau, Federal Board for Vocational
Education, or Tariff Commission.
In the Department of Agriculture, women receiving $1,860 and
over are employed chiefly in the clerical, stenographic, and scientific ·
services. Few women and few men in these occupations •in that
department received promotions of 5 per cent or more.
In the Department of the Interior, however, the propor:t ion of men -·
who had such a salary increase in occupations in which women were
relatively numerous, was much greater than among women in these
occupations. Of 51 women pension examiners· and reviewers who
were employed prior to July 1, 1924, and who received at least $1,860,
27.5 per cent had salary increases of 5 per cent or more, whereas
among men pension examiners and reviewers 70 per cent received
suGh salary increases. Among women clerks in the Department of
the Interior approximately one-fifth received increases of 5 per cent
and over as compared with more than one-half of the men clerks
who received such increases.
Department of Commerce records show that less than 19 per ceµt
of the women, as compared-. with 52 pe cent of the men "in like posi•
tions, had 5 per cent or more added to their salaries after July 1, 1924.
This difference is due primarily to the fact that the increases were
granted in occupations in which men were numerous and women
relatively few, that is, among business specialists in the Bureau of
Foreign and Domestic Commerce and among physicists and chemists
in the Bureau of Standards.
The only department in which a larger proportion of women than
of men benefited through reclassification is the Department of
Labor. This was due to the increases granted women economic
analysts referred to on page 39. In several of the independent

establishments in which but few changes were made, however, there
was but slight difference between the proportion of men and the
proportion of women affected.
SUMMARY
Almost one-half of the employees in the departmental service of the
seven independent establishments and six departments whose records
were reviewed in their entirety were women. A little more than onethird of all employees in these services received salaries of $1,860
· and over per annum; 21 per cent of those receiving such salaries
were women; 79 per cent were men.
Stated in terms of the total number of men and women reported,
nearly one-sixth of the women and approximately one-half of the
men employed in these establishments received .$1,860 or more a year.
Of the 2,198 women earning $1,860 and over in these Government
establishments (including part of the Treasury Department), almost
two-thirds were in clerical, typing, or stenographic positions. Eight
per cent were engaged in accounting and auditing. The remaining
fourth were scattered in administrative, professional, scientific, and
subprofessional positions, in no one branch of which was there as
large a proportion as 5 per cent.
The beginning salary of clerks and typists usually is $1,140; the
beginning salary of stenographers, $1,320. The highest salary paid
to men or women in these positions was $2,700. Only one. woman
stenographer and eight women clerks of the thousands employed in
these positions in establishments included in the study received the
highest salary.
The beginning salary for all occupations classified in the scientific
or professional service is $1,860. The highest salary received by a
woman in this service (exclusive of the heads and assistant heads of
scientific and professionai bureaus) was $5,200; the highest received
by a man was $6,000.
Measured by the actual numbers who get beyond the $1,860 base
line, stenographic and clerical positions offer opportunity for advancement in the departmental service to the larger number of women.
Measured by the proportion who reach the base line and salary range
beyond, the greater opportunities for women lie in professional and
scientific fields.
The highest salary received by a woman among those included in
this study was $6,500, the amount paid to one woman-the civil
service comm1ss10ner. Only 10 of the thousands of women included
received as much as $5,200, 8 of these being in _administrative work,
1 in cooperative extension work, and 1 in fact-collection service.
Only 35 women received $3,600 and more.

THE STATUS OF WOMEN IN THE GOVERNMENT SERVICE
In the positions paying $1,860 and over in which both women and
men were employed the proportions of women were always greater
in the lower salary groups and smaller in the higher salary groups
than the proportions of men.
In all the positions paying salaries of $1,860 and over in which
women and men were employed, 45 per cent of the women employees,
as compared with approximately 15 per cent of the men in like positions, received just $1,860 a year. Almost 40 per cent of the women
employees and 24 per .cent of the men employees received between
$1,860 and $2,400. Fifteen per cent of the women and 61.5 per cent
of the men were paid $2,400 or more per year.
In clerical occupations almost 53 per cent of the women with
salaries of $1,860 arid over, as compared with 31 per cent of the men,
received just $1,.860.
Among law and claims examiners about 45 per cent of the women
and only about one-fourth of the men received just $1,860.
In scientific positions, in the fact collection and· analysis group,
and in the accounting and auditing service, a little more than onefourth of the women employees earning $1,860 and over in each
group received just $1,860, while less than 10 per cent of the men in
each group were paid as little as this amount.
The readjustments of salary rates resulting from reclassification
of positions in the departmental service increased the salaries of men
receiving $1,860 and over to a greater extent than the salaries of
women :receiving such amounts.
Of all the women and all the men in like positions who received
$1,860 and over, 21 per cent of the women and 39 per cent of the
men received increases of 5 per cent or more in their salary rates as
a result of the reclassification of positions in the departmental
service.
Among clerks receiving salaries of $1,860 and over, 22 per cent of
the men as compared with 12 per cent of the women, and among
stenographers and typists 22 ½ per cent of the men as compared
with 14 per cent of the women, received increases of 5 per cent or
more.
In the legal service 47 per cent of the men received 5 per cent increases or more, while only 27 per cent of the women had such adjustment.
In scientific research and investigation 52 per cent of the men, as
compared with 36 per cent of the women, gained a 5 per cent or
greater addition in salary.

1 Four women nematologists and three women entomologists are not included in this table because
classification service and grade were not secured for men filling similar positions.
2 Five commissioned heads and assistant heads of the Coast Guard, Public Health Service, and Coast
and Geodetic Survey have not been included in the official reclassification and therefore are omitted from
this table.
3 Some men scientists engaged in enforcing the Food and Drug Act have been included under "scientifle
research and investigation" rather than under "regulatory."
' Not computed, owing to small number involved.
