UNION SCALES OF WAGES AND HOURS OF LABOR, MAY 15, 1929
INTRODUCTION
Since 1911 the Bureau of Labor Statistics each year has collected,
compiled, and published statistics relating to the wage rates and hours
of labor as agreed to by organized workers and their employers.
The study, until 1928, was limited almost exclusively to the principal
general trades paid at time rates and to the principal cities of the
country. The trades covered in these annual reports have varied
from year to year and the list of cities has been increased.
In publishing these reports it was recognized that there were still
many classes of union workers not represented. There were large
numbers of organized workers employed at piece rates, there were
localized industries in which employees were paid by either time or
piece rates, and there were minor trade groups in the regular cities
canvassed. These trades had not been canvassed mainly because of
the limitation of funds available for the union wage study.
Recognizing the need for additional information on the subject
the scope of the study was enlarged in 1928 to include a considerable
number of other trades and localities, data for which were collected
as of 1927 and 1928, and published in a separate volume as Bulletin
476.
The scope of the study for 1929 was still further enlarged, the
effort being made to include representative scales for all labor organ
izations in the United States. The effort was not entirely success
ful, as a few organizations were either unable or unwilling to furnish
the necessary information, but data of a more or less satisfactory
character were obtained from practically all organized trades. These
data are presented in the present volume, continuity with the earlier
reports being preserved by dividing the volume into two parts.
Part 1, covering the same trades and cities as the preceding reports
of the bureau on union wage scales, includes only the principal time
work trades found in most of the larger cities, and the wage scales of
which are of a character which permits of a uniform method of statis
tical presentation. Part 2 presents the union scales for all other
organized trades for which the bureau was able to obtain information.
All the data given in Part 1 and practically all the data in Part 2
relate to May 15, 1929, but in some instances the scales in Part 2 are
of a slightly later date.

GENERAL TRADES PAID AT TIME RATES, BY CITIES
In the first part of this report are presented the union wage scales
as of May 15, 1929, for 786,010 members of organized general trades
as found in 67 important industrial cities geographically distributed
so that a fair representation may be obtained for the country as a
whole. Following is a list of the trade groups in this part of the report
and the total number of union members represented in each group.

Seventy-five trades and subdivisions of trades have been included.
The average hourly rates of wages for the several trades and groups
of trades in 1929 in comparison with the rates in 1928 appear in Table
2, page 5. The hourly rate of wages for all trades herein listed taken
collectively shows an increase of seven-tenths of a cent per hour as
between 1928 and 1929.
The per cent of change in hourly rates of wages in 1929 as compared
with 1928 is shown by trade groups.

Full-time hours per week of all trades taken as a unit have continued
the steady downward trend, decreasing 0.1 of an hour from 1928 to
1929. By trade groups the chauffeurs and teamsters and drivers
showed the largest decrease, namely 0.8 of an hour. The building
trades full-time hours per week decreased 0.4 of an hour, the bakery
trades 0.2 of an hour, granite and stone trades and newspaper printing
trades decreased 0.1 of an hour. The book and job printing trades,

the longshoremen, and the laundry workers showed no measurable
change. The average full-time hours per week for linemen showed
an increase of 0.7 of an hour per week.
The average hours per full-time week for all trades and all cities
herein covered are 44.8 hours.
Table 1 shows the average hours per full-time week and the per
cent of members, by trade groups, working each classified number of
hours per week. In this table it is of interest to note that in the trades
listed 17 per cent or slightly more than one-sixth have a working week
of 40 hours or less, while only 9 per cent have a week of more than
48 hours.

1 Less than one-tenth of 1 per cent.
In reading this report it must be kept in mind that it does not cover
all cities of the United States nor all trades and that the averages are
based on the data here compiled. In computing the averages for the
trades the rates in the several cities were weighted by the number of
members in the city.
The cities are mainly the largest cities of the country where rates
often are higher than in the small cities. The trades covered are
those in which the workers are almost universally paid at time rates.
It is not practicable to tabulate in this section of the report the many
piece rates that are found in some trades.
For convenience in comparisons, all rates are shown in Table A
(p. 78) per full-time week as well as per hour. The average full-time
weekly rate for 1929 for all trades combined increased one-tenth of 1
per cent over the 1928 rate.
Weekly rates in 1929 by trade groups showed small increases in all
groups except chauffeurs and teamsters and drivers ranging from fourtenths of 1 per cent for the building trades to 2.5 per cent for the laun
dry workers and linemen. The chauffeurs and teamsters and drivers’
rate of wages per full-time week decreased nine-tenths of 1 per cent.
It is impossible, of course, to follow up the thousands of individual
union members and get from them the time they work and the amount
of time they do not work; hence no statement can be made of their
4

actual earnings in a week or in a year. This report can treat only of
rates of wages as distinct from actual earnings.
For a description of the scope of this report and the methods
followed, see pages 72 and 73.
AVERAGE HOURLY RATES OF WAGES AND NUMBER OF
CHANGES IN UNION SCALES, BY TRADES
The average money rates of wages per hour as of May 15, 1929
and 1928, for the country as a whole are given for each trade and for
trade groups in Table 2. These averages were obtained by multi
plying each hourly rate by the number of members of the union,
then adding the products and the number of members and dividing
the aggregate wages by the aggregate number of members. The
number of members is held strictly confidential and is used only for
the purpose of computing the averages.
Table 2 shows that the average rate per hour of all trades considered
increased from $1,197 in 1928 to $1,204 in 1929.
For 1929 there are tabulated 4,536 union-scale quotations, for 265
of which there are no comparable data for 1928. Of the 4,271 unionscale quotations for which there are comparable data for 1928, 3,143
had not changed during the year and 1,128 had changed in rates or
hours, or in both of these items. There are 976 instances of an increase
in hourly wage rates in 1929 as compared with 1928, 893 instances of
an increase in wage rates per week, and 46 instances of an increase
in hours of labor. There are 69 instances of a reduction in hourly
wage rates in 1929 as compared with 1928; 146 instances of a reduc
tion in wage rates per full-time week; and 208 instances of a reduction
in hours of labor. Of the 208 decreases in hours per week, 13 occurred
in the bakery trades, 113 in building trades, 35 in chauffeurs and team
sters and drivers, 5 in the granite and stone trades, 1 in linemen, 6 in
book and job printing, and 35 in newspaper printing trades.
Table 2 states that of the 270 quotations for bakers tabulated in
1929, 261 were comparable with 1928, and, further, that of the 261
comparable with 1928, 30 increased, 3 decreased, and 228 had no
change in wage rates per hour; 17 increased, 4 decreased, and 240
had no change in wage rates per full-time week; while 13 decreased
and 248 had no change in number of hours per full-time week. The
other items of the table may be read in like manner.
Expressed in percentages of the total number of union scale quota
tions in which there were scale changes, 86.5 per cent resulted in
increases and 6.1 per cent in decreases in rates of wages per hour; 79.2
per cent provided increases and 12.9 per cent decreases in wage rates
per full-time week; and 4.1 per cent provided increases and 18.4
per cent decreases in the hours per full-time week.

TJNION SCALES OF WAGES AND HOURS OF LABOR
The continuing decrease in hours per full-time week for the past
several years has been largely due to the adoption of a 5-day week
by many of the crafts. Table 3a which follows Table 3 shows the
extent to which the 5-day week was in effect in the trades and cities
included on May 15, 1929.
The bakers, chauffeurs and teamsters and drivers, laundry workers,
and longshoremen show no members working on a 5-day week basis.
The building trades group shows a tendency to a general adoption
of the 5-day week, nearly all trades having adopted it to some
extent. The painters and plasterers with 68.3 per cent and 65.3
per cent, respectively, show the highest percentage of members
working the short week. Only a small percentage of members of
the printing trades, granite and stone trades, and linemen work five
days per week.

According to Table 4 the weekly rate for bakers increased 160.4 per
cent between 1913 and 1929. This means that the bakers’ full-time
weekly wage rate in 1929 was more than two and one-half times the
rate of 1913. Between 1907 and 1929 the bakers’ weekly rate
increased 206.0 per cent. In other words, bakers’ wages in 1929 were
more than three times those of 1907.
Data for all trades are not available as far back as 1913. So far as
shown, the greatest increase in any trade between 1913 and 1929 was
in steam and sprinkler fitters’ helpers.
Here the increase was
198.2, making the rate nearly three times as much in 1929 as in 1913.
The greatest increase between 1907 and 1929 is also for steam and
sprinkler fitters’ helpers. In this trade the weekly rate in 1929 was
more than three and one-half times the rate in 1907.
INDEX NUMBERS OF ALL TRADES COMBINED, 1907 TO 1929
The index numbers in Table 5 are percentages in which the rates
for all of the years were compared with the rate in the selected base
year (1913), which is taken as 100. Table 5 shows the extent of the
changes in all cities and all trades combined, in union wage rates
taken as a whole for each year from 1907 to 1929; the data for pre
ceding years are drawn from earlier reports.

Table 5 shows that union wage rates per hour were higher in 1929
than in any preceding year, the index for 1929 being 262.1. This
means that union wage rates per hour as a whole were nearly two and
five-eighths times as much in 1929 as they were in 1913.
Full-time hours per week were 8.5 per cent lower in 1929 than in
1913 and full-time weekly earnings were more than 2.4 times as much
in 1929 as in 1913.
As some readers may desire to make comparisons with the initial
year, 1907, a table of index numbers has been computed from the
same basic figures starting with 1907 as 100.

Table 6 shows an index for wage rates per hour of 292.1 in 1929 as
compared with 100 in 1907. This means that the rates per hour were
more than 2.9 times as much in 1929 as in 1907. The index for full
time hours per.week in 1929 is 89.2, meaning that since 1907 full
time hours per week have decreased 10.8 per cent. The index for
full-time rates of wages per week stands at 263.0 in 1929, meauing

UNION SCALES OF WAGES AND HOURS OF LABOR
that full-time weekly earnings were more than two and five-eighths
times as much in 1929 as in 1907.
An inspection of these index numbers shows that the grand average
of union rates of wages per hour and hours per full-time week has
increased each year save one for the last 22 years. The average
for 1929 shows the smallest increase in rate per hour, and only one
decrease was noted, the average for 1922 being lower than the average
for 1921. The average rate per full-time week showed an increase
every year except two— 1922 and 1928.
While the rate of wages has been increasing the hours per full-time
week have been almost as steadily decreasing; only two years showed
increases, viz, 1921 and 1922.
To set forth more clearly the extent of change from year to year in
the grand average of union rates of wages per hour and of hours per
full-time week Table 7 is presented. This table shows the per cent of
change in the rate of wages per hour and in hours per full-time week
in May of one year compared with the rate and hours in May of the
preceding year.

Certain other trades and trade groups not included in this report
have been carried by the bureau in the union wage reports in pre
ceding years. A list of these trades and the bulletins in which they
appear are stated in Bulletin 404, page 57.
The asterisks in the preceding list indicate cities added since the
first report. In Table A, page 78, data for each of the cities are
given for each trade in which a scale was in effect.
EXPLANATION OF TERMS AND METHODS
A union scale, as the term is here used, is a statement, either
written or definitely understood, of wages and hours of labor agreed
to or accepted by an organization of union men and an employer or
group of employers, under which agreement, expressed or implied,
74
UNION SCALES OF WAGES AND HOURS OF LABOR
union men actually work. A union scale usually fixes the limit in
only one direction. It sets a minimum wage and a maximum of
hours for a regular day’s wo'rk. This report shows such minimum
wage and maximum hours as are established by the agreed to or
accepted scale. In certain cities and trades, however, some work
men, and in some few instances all or nearly all workmen, actually
are paid more than the scale, and: in some instances employees work
fewer hours than the scale calls for. As a general rule, however, the
union scale represents the prevailing wage of a locality.
In cases where bonuses are definitely reported in one fixed amount
and apparently are to regain in effect indefinitely, such bonuses
have been combined with the regular rate.
The observance of Labor Day as a holiday is so general and the
fact is so widely understood that it has been deemed unnecessary to
refer to the many agreements which prohibit the performance of
ordinary work on that day. However, in instances where the pro
hibition of work has been extended to other days or parts of days,
such as Jidy 4 and Saturday afternoon, and also includes Labor
Day, the conditions are stated in footnotes.
In the newspaper printing trades, compositor and machine operator
agreements are found in certain cities in which there are stated
maximum hours that maj not be exceeded except by payment of an
overtime rate, and a minimum of hours for which work must be pro
vided or payment made if a man undertakes a day’s work. When
such contract exists there may be further a commonly accepted work
ing time, within the limits provided, so well established that such
time is in eftect the standard working-day. In such instances the
tabulation shows such actual working hours, and notes state the
maximum and minimum hours.
No scale for any trade is published here unless it was so w6^
established that at least 50 per cent of the members of the union
were receiving the scale or above it. Information obtained on this
question indicates that an insignificant number of union members
were working for less than the scale, while a considerable number
were receiving more than the scale. Some trades w^ere not organized
in certain cities, and some were organized only in part. When
organized in part, with a scale in force for such men as were organized,
the scale is published.
The union scales in this section of the report are almost entirely
time-rate scales. The only piece-rate scales shown are for lathers, and
for machine operators in the printing trades, and one quotation for
longshoremen. These occupations have simple units of payment
which are commonly understood. Many trades work to a large
extent on piece rates. Such rates are so great in number and the units
©f payment so variable that it is not practicable to quote them in
arbitrary tables as are shown in this section.
The various scales agreed to by employers and trade-unions
wagls for differing units of time. Some scales designate the
of wages by the hour, others by the day, week, or month.
varying rates have been converted into common terms, and
hourly and w.eekly rates are shown.

for a full week, the number of months in the year for which the
agreement provided for a Saturday part or whole holiday, and the
per cent of members receiving more than scale and the amount or
range received. Corresponding figures for 1928 are reproduced, in
part, in this table.
Certain unions have agreements that Saturday or some other
week day shall be a day of rest instead of Sunday. In such cases
the overtime provision for this day has been tabulated as equivalent
to the usual Sunday provision. In other words, “ Sunday” is con
sidered as comprehensive enough to cover any fixed rest day. Like
wise, if there is a short day in the week other than Saturday, it has
been tabulated as equivalent to a Saturday provision.
Due to some peculiar local conditions the actual rates per hour
and per week and the hours per week are not exactly what the agree
ment shows. The bureau has tabulated the rate and hours that the
full-time employed man receives; for example, in Worcester, Mass.,
the nominal rate for web pressmen, night, is $45 per week for 42
hours and the nominal rate per hour would be 107.1 cents. How
ever, all the men employed work an extra l){ hours every Saturday
for which they get $1 additional, and time and a half, which makes
an actual wage of $48.73 for 43% hours, received regularly each week
by them.
Where two or more quotations of rates and hours are shown for
the same occupation in the same city, such quotations represent
two or more agreements between unions and employers, sometimes
different unions, sometimes different employers, sometimes both.
The letters A, B, C, etc., are used to designate different quotations,
but have no other significance.
When the number of hours per week differed during a part of
the year from that shown for May, the difference has been noted
in the table.
When a strike or lockout was pending on May 15, the scale which
was in effect before the strike or lockout began has been tabulated
with a note, “ Old scale; strike pending.”
Most of the data for this report were obtained by special agents
of the bureau through personal visits to business agents, secretaries,
or other officials of the respective trade-unions in the several cities.
The State labor bureaus of Massachusetts, Ohio, Pennsylvania,
and Wisconsin, for their own purposes, collect union-wage scales
within their respective States. To avoid duplication of field work
in these States they have furnished such information as is necessary
to this compilation.
The Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin data were collected en
tirely by personal visits of special agents of those States. The
Massachusetts bureau collected its data in part by correspondence
and in part by sending out special agents.
In the work of this bureau and of the four State bureaus named,
wage scales, written agreements, and trade-union records were con
sulted wherever available. Over 2,000 union representatives were
visited.
Scales for apprentices are not shown, but scales for helpers, in a
number of trades are given. In some trades the work of helpers is
performed in part by apprentices. Whenever it was found that the
99193°—30----- 6
76
UNION SCALES OF WAGES AND HOURS OF LABOR
work of helpers is largely done by apprentices, the scales for such
helpers have been omitted.
An inspection of the general table shows for some occupations a
great variation in trade terms and classifications in the different
cities. For example, bakers are classed in some cities as first hands,
second hands, and third hands; in other cities as mixers, benchmen,
oven men, etc. The difference in occupation names makes a com
parison between cities difficult. Inquiry has shown that the terms
“ first hand,” “ second hand,” etc., do not cover identical work in
the different cities where these terms are used. Certain work may
be considered first-hand work in one city and second-hand work in
another city. Of necessity, this bureau has followed the terminology
used in each city.
There are also great variations in classification and in the extent
of subdivision of chauffeurs and teamsters and drivers, and of book
binding and presswork occupations, making comparison of city with
city quite difficult; and similar conditions, less in degree, are found
in several other trades. Special rates for inconsequential groups
within these occupations have been omitted in some cities.
As stated before, the average rates shown in preceding tables were
obtained by multiplying the rate for each city by the number of
union members, adding the products for all cities, and dividing the
sum by the aggregate membership in all cities which makes them
weighted averages. The same method was used in computing average
hours.
The averages are based on all data available each year. There
may be an effective scale in a city one year and not in the next year.
If there is no effective scale, the city does not enter into the average.
A change in the average, therefore, is possible though there be no
change in any of the other cities.
Further, there may be a change in the average when there is no
change in the rate or hours for any city, all due to a change in the
relative number of union members. If there is an increase in mem
bership in high-rate cities and not in low-rate cities the average for the
country is raised. Conversely, if increase of membership occurs in
the low rate rather than in the high rate cities the average is lowered.
A few changes in the large widespread trades may cause but little
change in the average, while a few changes in a trade limited as to
cities or as to membership may materially affect the average
Index numbers are computed to make comparisons easier as
between years. They are only percentages which show the increase
or decrease in all other years as compared with one year selected as
the base. In most of the tables 1913 is taken as the base. In other
tables 1907, the first year of this series of reports, is taken as the base.
The index numbers for rates have been obtained by computing
ratios from the rates for each two successive years and, beginning
with the base year, compounding the ratios each year. The ratio
of the 1914 rate to the 1913 rate is the index number for 1914. The
index number for 1914 thus found, multiplied by the ratio of 1915
to 1914, gives the index number for 1915, etc.
In the earlier years the ratio was based on the average as computed
from identical unions that reported for both years, old quotations
dropping out and new quotations coming in being omitted from the
average. In the later years the averages are based on all data re
ceived each year.
EXPLANATION OF TERMS AND METHODS
77
The same method was used in computing index numbers of hours
and of wages per full-time week.
In computing the general index number when an industry is added
or omitted the ratio is based on the data for identical industries.
Here it is not a question of a trade or an industry coming into or
passing out of existence, but a question of discontinuing or taking on
an industry that is in existence. To illustrate, the metal industry and
the millwork industry were omitted in 1925 and have been since, as it
was known that more representative data for these two industries
could be obtained from establishment pay rolls. These trades were
covered in 1924 and earlier years and entered into the general index
for all trades in those years. Before computing the general index
for 1925 a new grand average was computed for all trade groups,
with these trade groups omitted. Then the ratio between 1924 and
1925 for all the remaining trade groups combined was computed and
the general index for 1924 was multiplied by this ratio to get the
general index for 1925.
Caution should be used in considering these index numbers. The
result obtained by a subtraction of index numbers does not repre
sent the per cent of increase or decrease between the different years.
For example, referring to page 15, the index number of bakers’
rates of wages per week in 1907 was 85.1 as compared with 254.5
in 1928, making an increase of 169.4 points in the index number.
This 169.4 is 199.1 per cent of 85.1, thus making the increase in 1928
over 1907, 199.1 per cent as shown in Table 4.

[In some Instances the rate for overtime and for Sunday and holidays is indicated by figures closely followed by the letter c, which means that the amount given is the rate in cents
er hour. The rate shown for overtime is for the primary overtime only, secondary and other further rates being considered of small importance. When overtime work is proibited it is indicated by “ Pro.” When no statement is given for 1927 there was no union or, if a union, no effective scale. The few cases in which the day of rest is other than
Sunday have been tabulated as Sunday, and those in which the short day is other than Saturday have been tabulated as Saturday]

PART 2
OTHER TRADES
As explained in the introduction to this report, Part 2 presents the
union scales of wages and hours of labor for a number of trades which
have recently been added to the bureau’s survey of union wages.
These added trades are presented separately for the following reasons:
(1) The trades included in Part 1 are limited to those normally
occurring in the large cities and for which the wage scales are in a
form permitting uniform tabulation. As a result it is possible to
combine these data so as to derive average wages and hours, and
index numbers thereof, for various groups of cities and trades, over
a series of years. (2) Part 2 includes trades recently added to the
bureau's survey which, whether because of their more complicated
wage scales or for other reasons, do not permit of combination for
the present at least, with the data given in Part 1.
The data presented in this second part were derived from a com
plete survey of all organized trades in 17 cities and by correspondence
with, or personal visits to, those organizations which are of a noncity
character—such as those concerned with railroads and mining. The
cities covered by the survey referred to are:
Baltimore.
Birmingham.
Boston.
Butte.
Chicago.
Cleveland.
Dallas.
Jacksonville.
Kansas City.
New Orleans.
New York.
Philadelphia.
Pittsburgh.
Providence.
San Francisco.
Seattle.
St. Louis.
For each of the organizations concerned, every effort was made to
secure the prevailing scales of wages and hours or representative
examples of such scales. In a few cases the organizations were unable
or unwilling to furnish this information, but these exceptions were
very few, and on the whole the information in Part 2 combined with
that in Part 1 gives a fairly complete picture of the prevailing union
scales in force in the organized trades of this country.
In the wage presentation of Part 2 time rates are shown wherever
such are available. Otherwise, sample piece rates are given and in a
few cases estimated earnings under these piece rates are quoted. In
general, however, it is to be noted that union rates are minimum
rates and in many cases are considerably below actual earnings.
The total membership of the organizations represented in Part 2 is
slightly more than 1,000,000.

TRANSPORTATION
In the case of conductors and trainmen in passenger service, the
daily rate is computed from an average run of 150 miles. Thus, a
conductor would receive one hundred and fifty times the mile rate
of 4.8 cents, or $7.20; this is his minimum daily rate, even though
the run may be less than 150 miles. If his run exceeds 150 miles,
he is paid the specified rate per mile for each mile of the run.
However, if the monthly earnings of regularly assigned passenger
trainmen from guarantees, mileage, overtime, and other rates do not
yield the average daily amounts given below, it is provided that for
each day that the trainmen are on duty they shall be paid, such
daily rates.

In the freight service “ 100 miles or less, eight hours or less (straight
away or turnaround ” constitute a day’s work, and all rims in excess
of 100 miles are paid for at the regular mileage rate.
The provisions for overtime in the passenger service read as
follows:
(a) Trainmen on short turnaround passenger runs, no single trip of which
exceeds 80 miles, including suburban and branch line service, shall be paid
overtime for all time actually on duty, or held for duty in excess of 8 hours
(computed on each run from the time required to report for duty to the end
of that run) within 10 consecutive hours; and also for all time in excess of 10
consecutive hours computed continuously from the time first required to report
to the final release at the end of the last run. Time shall be counted as con
tinuous service in all cases where the interval of release from duty at any point
does not exceed one hour. This rule applies regardless of mileage made.
For calculating overtime under this rule the management may designate the
initial trip.
(b) Trainmen on other passenger runs shall be paid overtime on a speed basis
of 20 miles per hour computed continuously from the time required to report
for duty until released at the end of last run. Overtime shall be computed on
the basis of actual overtime worked or held for duty, except that when the
minimum day is paid for the service performed overtime shall not accrue until
the expiration of 7 hours and 30 minutes from time of first reporting for duty.
(c) Overtime in all passenger service shall be paid for on the minute basis at
a rate per hour of not less than one-eighth of the daily rate herein provided.
In the freight service it is provided that—
(6) On runs of 100 miles or less overtime will begin at the expiration of eight
hours; on runs of over 100 miles overtime will begin when the time on duty
exceeds the miles run divided by 12%. Overtime shall be paid for on the minute
basis, at a rate per hour of three-sixteenths of the daily rate.
(c)
Road conductors and trainmen performing more than one class of road
service in a day or trip will be paid for the entire service at the highest rate
applicable to any class of service performed. The overtime basis for the rate
paid will apply for the entire trip.

MAINTENANCE-OF-WAY EMPLOYEES
Table 27 following shows the rates of the various classes of mainte
nance-of-way employees, as established by agreement. These data
were supplied by the Brotherhood of Maintenance-of-Way Employees.
The agreements generally provide for an 8-hour day and overtime is
paid at the regular rate for the ninth and tenth hours and at the rate
of time and a half thereafter.
On account of limited space, rates for only a few railroads in each
district are presented.
Pumper and crossing watchmen work every day in the year and their
hours vary from 8 to 12 per day. These employees are usually paid on
a monthly basis.
The rates per hour are shown in four ways—the minimum, the maxi
mum, the going, and a weighted average. The going rate probably
needs explanation. It is the particular exact rate which is most
frequent within the limit of the minimum and maximum.
