WAGES AND HOURS OF LABOR IN THE BOOT AND
SHOE INDUSTRY, 1910 TO 1932
The 1932 figures in this report are the result of a study by the
Bureau of Labor Statistics of wages and hours of labor of 49,666 wage
earners (28,046 males and 21,620 females) in 164 representative
factories in the boot and shoe industry in the United States.
Summaries of average full-time hours per week, earnings per hour,
and full-time earnings per week are presented in Table 1 for the indus­
try as a whole, and for each of the important occupations in each
department of the industry for each of the years from 1910 to 1932 in
which studies have been made by the bureau. The averages at the
beginning of the table are for the industry, followed by averages for
each of the important occupations in each department, and also for
the group of “ Other employees” for all departments. This group
includes the wage earners in all occupations other than those referred
to as important occupations, because no occupation in the group was
of sufficient importance to warrant showing separate averages for it.
Index numbers of these averages, with the 1913 average as the base,
or 100 per cent, are also shown in the table for the industry and for
each occupation for which averages are available for 1913 and any of
the other years from 1910 to 1932.

Hours and Earnings and Index Numbers, 1910 to 1932
Industry averages of full-time hours per week were 48.9 in 1932
and in 1930; of average earnings per hour were 41.2 cents in 1932
and 51.0 cents in 1930, a decrease of 19.2 per cent; and of full-time
earnings per week were $20.15 in 1932 and $24.94 in 1930, a decrease
of $4.79 or 19.2 per cent. The percentage decrease was the same for
average earnings per hour and for full-time earnings per week because
average full-time hours per week were the same in 1930 and 1932.
The industry averages in Table 1 for each of the years, 1910 to 1914,
are for wage earners in selected occupations only and are directly
comparable one year with another over that period. Those for the
years 1914 to 1932 are for wage earners in all occupations in the
industry, including those in the selected occupations and the group
of “ Other employees” at the end of the table and are also directly
comparable one year with another, but should not be compared with
the averages for selected occupations for any of the years from 1910
to 1914. Two sets of averages are shown in the table for 1914— one
for 18,567 wage earners in the selected occupations in 91 establish­

ments and the other for 49,376 wage earners in all occupations in the
same 91 establishments. The 1914 average earnings per hour for
the wage earners in the selected occupations are 31.4 cents and the
average full-time earnings per week are $17.11, and for those in all
occupations the figures are 24.3 cents and $13.26, respectively.
The index numbers are for the purpose of furnishing comparable
data, one year with another from 1910 to 1932. The index for any
year from 1910 to 1914 for selected occupations is the per cent that
the average for the year is of the 1913 average. The index for any
year from 1914 to 1932 for all occupations was computed by increas­
ing or decreasing the 1914 index for selected occupations in proportion
to the increase or decrease in the average for each succeeding year as
compared with the 1914 average for wage earners in all occupations;
that is, the 1914 index for selected occupations is to the 1932 index for
all occupations as the 1914 average for all occupations is to the
1932 average for all occupations.
Average full-time hours per week decreased from year to year from
an index of 102.7 in 1910 to 88.2 in 1920, increased gradually to 89.2
in 1928, and then decreased to 88.8 in both 1930 and 1932. The range
in average full-time hours per week in 1932 for males in the various
occupations in the industry was from 44.3 for folders to 50.6 for heel
builders, hand, and for females from 48.4 for table workers and shoe
cleaners to 50.2 for buttonhole makers.
Average earnings per hour increased from an index of 92.0 in 1910
to 93.9 in 1911, decreased to 92.6 in 1912 and then increased from
year to year to 232.0 in 1920, dropped to 207.9 in 1922, and again
increased from year to year to 220.3 in 1928, then dropped to 212.0
in 1930 and to 171.2 in 1932. In the different occupations in 1932,
average earnings per hour of males ranged from 28.7 cents for stamp­
ers, linings or uppers, to 75 cents for turn sewers, and of females ranged
from 23.5 cents for roughers for cement to 44.8 cents for cutters,
vamp and whole shoe, machine. In three occupations, for which
figures are shown for both males and females in 1932, the females
earned more per hour than the males. These occupations were heel
builders, hand; stampers, linings or uppers; and channel openers
and closers. In all other occupations males earned more per hour
than females.
Average full-time earnings per week increased from an index of
94.1 in 1910 to 95.8 in 1911, decreased to 93.2 in 1912, increased from
year to year to 203.7 in 1920, decreased to 184.7 in 1922, and again
increased from year to year to 196.6 in 1928, and then dropped to
188.5 in 1930 and to 152.3 in 1932. Average full-time earnings per
week did not increase nor decrease in the same proportion as average
earnings per hour because of the change from year to year in average
full-time hours per week. In 1932 average full-time earnings per
week of males in the various occupations ranged from $14.41 for
stampers, linings or uppers, to $35.10 for turn sewers, and of females
ranged from $11.47 for roughers for cement to $22.36 for cutters,
vamp and whole shoe, machine.

Average Hours and Earnings, 1930 and 1932, by Sex and
State
Table 2 shows for males and for females separately, and for both
sexes combined, average full-time hours per week, earnings per hour,
and full-time earnings per week. The averages are for the wage
earners covered in each State or group of two States in 1930 and 1932.
This table makes easy the comparison of the 1930 averages for any
State with those for 1932, and also the averages for any one State in
either year with the averages for any other State, or for the industry
as a whole.
Comparing the 1930 average earnings per hour with those for 1932
it is seen that in Illinois, the first State in the table, males averaged
62.4 cents in 1930 and 42.7 cents in 1932; females averaged 37.6
cents in 1930 and 27.2 cents in 1932; and both sexes combined averaged
49.9 cents in 1930 and 34.2 cents in 1932. Average earnings per hour
for each sex were less in each State in 1932 than in 1930.
Average earnings per hour of males in the various States studied
ranged from 43.4 to 71.1 cents in 1930 and from 34.5 to 63.1 cents in
1932; of females ranged from 26.8 to 48.3 cents in 1930 and from
21.6 to 42.1 cents in 1932; and of both sexes combined ranged from
35.3 to 62.8 cents in 1930 and from 28.2 to 55.9 cents in 1932. Earn­
ings per hour for males in all States combined averaged 60.4 cents in
1930 and 49.3 cents in 1932, a decrease of 18.4 per cent, and for females
averaged 38.2 cents in 1930 and 30.8 cents in 1932, a decrease of
19.4 per cent.
Average full-time hours per week of males in the various States
included in the study ranged from a low of 45.9 to a high of 52.9 in
1930 and from 46.0 to 53.0 in 1932; of females ranged from 46.5 to
53.1 in both years; and of both sexes combined, or the industry,
ranged from 46.1 to 53.0 in 1930 and from 46.2 to 53.0 in 1932. Full­
time hours per week for males, all States combined, averaged 48.8
in 1930 and 48.9 in 1932, and for females 48.9 in both 1930 and 1932.
Average full-time earnings per week of males ranged by States
from $22.74 to $32.63 in 1930 and from $17.51 to $29.03 in 1932; of
females, from $13.78 to $22.46 in 1930 and from $10.66 to $19.58 in
1932; and of both sexes combined from $18.46 to $28.95 in 1930 and
from $14.57 to $25.83 in 1932. Full-time earnings per week of males
in all States averaged $29.48 in 1930 and $24.11 in 1932, and of
females $18.68 in 1930 and $15.06 in 1932.

Average and Classified Earnings Per Horn*, by Occupation
Table 3 gives average earnings per hour and a percentage distri­
bution by classified average earnings per hour of the wage earners
covered in 14 of the representative occupations of the industry in each
of the specified years from 1913 to 1932.
The 1932 figures in the table are for 8,153 males in 13 occupations
and for 6,742 females in 8 occupations. The males in these occupa­
tions constitute 29.1 per cent of all males included in the 1932 study
of the industry; the females, 31.2 per cent of all females; and the
males and females combined constitute 30.0 per cent of all wage
earners covered in this study. Both males and females were reported
in 7 occupations, males only in 6, and females only in 1.
The 14 occupations were selected from the various departments
of the industry to illustrate the variation in the trend and spread of
average earnings per hour of males and of females in all occupations
in the industry. For a similar distribution by number of wage earners
covered in each of these occupations in each State in 1932, see Table
B, page 79.
In 1913 the 1,987 cutters, vamp and whole shoe, hand, male— the
first occupation shown in the table— earned an average of 35.1 cents
per hour and 95 per cent of them earned less than 50 cents per hour.
Earnings increased each year to 1920 when the average was 82.9
cents and approximately 7 per cent earned less than 50 cents per hour.
The peak of earnings was in 1924 when the average was 83.8 cents
per hour and only 5 per cent earned less than 50 cents per hour.
The average for the 2,032 cutters covered in 1932 was 63.4 cents per
hour, when about 22 per cent earned less than 50 cents per hour, 18
per cent earned an average that was within the classified group of
“ 50 and under 60 cents,” and when 3 per cent earned an average
that was within the group of “ $1.00 and under $1.20” per hour.
Less than 1 per cent earned an average that was within the group of
“ $1.20 and under $1.40” per hour and within the group of “ $1.40
and over per hour.”

WAGES AND HOXJRS— BOOT AND SHOE INDUSTRY

Regular or Customary Full-Time Hours Per Week and Per
Day
The full-time hours per week and per daj of an employee are the
hours established by a regular time of beginning and quitting work
each day less the regular time off duty for meals. Such hours do not
include any overtime, nor are they reduced by the exclusion of any
regular time lost by slack work, sickness or other disability, or any
other cause.
Table 4 shows average full-time hours per week and a percentage
distribution by full-time hours per week of the wage earners covered
in each of 14 representative occupations in the industry in each of the
specified years from 1910 to 1932 for which data are available. For
a similar distribution by number of wage earners covered in each of
these occupations in each State in 1932 see Table C, page 88.
Full-time hours per week of cutters, vamp and whole shoe, hand,
male, averaged 56.3 in 1910, when the hours of 64 per cent of the
1,650 in this occupation were over 54 per week and of only 1 per cent
were under 51 per week. In 1920 the average was 47.8 and the hours
of only 1 per cent of the 2,050 covered in that year were over 54;
of 93 per cent were under 51; of 56 per cent were 48; and of 15 per cent
were 44 per week. The average increased each year from 1920 to
48.9 per week in 1926, decreased to 48.6 in 1928, increased to 48.7 in
1930, and to 48.9 in 1932, when the hours of 2 per cent were over 54
per week; of 91 per cent were under 51; of 55 per cent were 48; and of 5
per cent were 44 per week. The variations of the averages and of
the percentage distribution of wage earners in this occupation are
fairly representative of those in other occupations in the table and in
the industry.

• Indefinite.
• Followed by increases of 3 per cent in 1931 and in 1932.
•Various decreases to different wage earners.

Overtime and Sunday and Holiday Work, 1932
Overtime is any time worked before the regular starting time or
after the regular quitting time on any day, regardless of the rate of
pay for such work. Work on Sunday and holidays is overtime or
extra work only when the working schedule of an employee does not
provide for work regularly on those days. Work on Saturday by an
employee in an establishment in which the 5-day week, Monday to
Friday, is in effect is overtime.
The rate for overtime or extra work was higher than for regular
working time in 7 of the 164 factories covered in the study in 1932
and the same as for regular working time in 157. The higher rate
applied to all wage earners in 6 factories and to part of the wage
earners in 1 factory, and was one and one-half times the regular rate.
During the period covered by the 1932 study there was overtime
work in only 2 of the 7 factories in which the rate was one and one-half
times the regular rate, and in 113 factories in which the rate was the
same as for regular working time.

Bonus Systems, 1932
A bonus to a wage earner is generally understood as compensation
in addition to earnings at basic rates of pay.
Bonus systems were in operation in 21 of the 164 factories covered
in the 1932 study. The systems provided for the payment of the
additional compensation to certain classes of wage earners for effi­
ciency, production, or attendance. Table 7 shows for each of the 21
factories the kind or basis of bonus, the specified class of wage earners
who could under certain conditions earn the bonus, and the amount
that could be earned. One factory provided for a bonus and a
penalty, the penalty not to exceed the possible high bonus for the day.

Index Numbers of Employment and Pay Rolls, 1923 to 1931
Index numbers of employment and of pay rolls in the boot and
shoe industry are presented in Table 8 by months and years from
January, 1923, to December, 1931. The indexes were computed from
the number of persons employed and the amount of pay rolls for each
month and year over this period with the average for 1926 as the base
or 100 per cent, and are as published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics
in monthly reports on “ Trend of Employment.”
During the period, 1923 to 1931, monthly employment was highest
in February and March, 1923, with an index of 116.4, and lowest in
November, 1931, with an index of 68.2, and pay rolls were highest in
March, 1923, with an index of 129.2 and lowest in November, 1931,
with an index of 41.4. By years, both employment and pay rolls were
highest in 1923 when the indexes were 111.1 and 117.0, respectively,
and lowest in 1931 with indexes of 79.9 and 60.6, respectively.

Importance of the Industry
The importance of the boot and shoe industry in number of estab­
lishments, average number of wage earners, amount of wages, cost
of materials, etc., value of products, and value added by manufac­
ture is shown in Table 9 for the United States as a whole in each of
the specified years, 1899 to 1929, and in 1929 for each State except
one for which 1932 figures are presented in this report. The table also
shows the average per wage earner of yearly earnings, cost of materi­
als, etc., value of products, and value added by manufacture; the
per cent that wages were of the value added by manufacture; and
the average yearly production per wage earner of pairs of boots,
shoes, and slippers.
Yearly wages per wage earner for the United States as a whole
ranged by years from $412.05 in 1899 to $1,116.90 in 1921, while in
1929 the range by States was from $730.46 to $1,332.24.
The per cent wages were of the value added by manufacture for the
United States ranged by years from 47.9 in 1919 to 64.7 in 1899, and
in 1929 ranged by States from 33.9 to 67.1.
The average number of boots, shoes, and slippers produced per
wage earner in the United States ranged by years from 1,528 in 1914
to 1,807 in 1927 and 1929. In 1929 average production per wage
earner ranged by States from 1,105 to 2,199 pairs.

WAGES AND HOURS— BOOT AND SHOE INDUSTRY

Scope and Method
The basic data for this report were taken directly from the pay rolls
and other records of representative factories by agents of the bureau
and are almost entirely for wage earners in productive occupations.
A comparatively small number of wage earners in certain necessary
nonproductive occupations, such as pattern and die boys, lumpers,
factory sweepers, floor workers, rack pushers, etc., and a number of
unimportant productive occupations were included; the data for them
were combined and shown as the group of “ Other employees.’’ Wage
data were not included for company officials, the office force, buy­
ers, salesmen, superintendents, nonworking foremen, power-house
employees, watchmen, guards, teamsters, or chauffeurs.
The factories making each kind of shoes, by process of attaching
soles, were as follows: Goodyear welt only, 54 factories; McKay
only, 24; cement only, 11; Goodyear welt and McKay, 8; Goodyear
welt and cement, l i ; Goodyear welt and turn, 7; Goodyear welt,
#McKay, and cement, 3; Goodyear welt, cement, and Littleway, 1;
Goodyear welt, McKay, and stitchdown, 2; Goodyear welt and
Littleway, 2; Goodyear welt, turn, McKay, and cement, 1; Goodyear
welt, McKay, and Puritan, 1; Goodyear welt, stitchdown, and Puri­
tan welt, 1; Goodyear welt and nail, 1; McKay and cement, 6; turn
only, 7; turn and cement, 2; turn and Puritan welt, 1; Littleway only,
2; Littleway and cement, 1. In addition, 18 factories cut outsoles or
insoles, counters, heels, strips, etc., or did only cutting and stitching
for other factories to last, bottom, and finish. Data were not taken
from any factory whose product was chiefly nailed, pegged, or stitch­
down shoes, or specialties such as slippers, leggings, felt or rubber
footwear, or tennis or other athletic shoes.
Of the 164 factories for which data are shown in this study, 20
made shoes for men only; 73 for women only; 10 for men and women;
14 for men and boys; 3 for men, boys, and youths; 2 for men, women,
and boys; 2 for men, women, and children; 1 for men, women, boys,
and children; 3 for women and misses; 2 for women and children; 5
for women, misses, and children; 1 for women, children, and infants;
1 for women, misses, children, and infants; 1 for boys and girls; 1 for
misses and girls; 1 for misses and children; 4 for misses, girls, and
children; 2 for misses, girls, children, and infants; and 17 cut outsoles,
insoles, or other sole leather parts or built leather heels; and 1 cut and
stitched uppers for another factory.
A large number of factories do not cut soles or other sole-leather
parts or make heels. The sole-leather parts and heels used in such
factories are purchased from companies that specialize in such work.
To get and show figures for occupations in sole-leather departments
and make them representative of the industry as a whole, it was
necessary to collect data from a representative number of the com­
panies that specialize in soles and other sole-leather parts. In
making this study it was found that each of a few large companies had
a central cutting department or a plant in which sole-leather parts
were prepared for all of the factories of each company. The factories
were often in different localities and for some companies in more than
one State. A representative number of the factories and part of the
cutting and sole-leather department of each company was included in
the study.

WAGES AND HOURS— BOOT AND SHOE INDUSTRY

A few large factories are represented in this report by only a part
of their total number of wage earners in each occupation, as the
inclusion of wage figures for all would have tended to give undue
weight to and so possibly impair the representative character of the
averages for States in which such large factories are located.
Nearly all of the factories in the industry pay their wage earners
weekly. For those factories with a pay period longer than one week
the data were so taken as to make it possible to show figures for one
week only for their wage earners.
Data were taken from 91 factories for a pay period in January,
52 in February, 18 in March, and 3 in April, 1932. Therefore, the
figures are especially representative of conditions in the first two
months of the year.
A large per cent of the wage earners in the industry are piece­
workers. In factories where the time of pieceworkers was not of
permanent record, arrangements were made by agents of the bureau
with officials of the companies to have kept for a pay period a day-byday record of all time on duty at the place of work by each wage
earner who did any piecework during the period. No separation has
been made in- the tabulations of data for piece-workers and timeworkers.
Average earnings per hour in each occupation, as presented in this
report, were computed by dividing the total actual earnings of the
wage earners in the occupation in one week by the total hours on
duty by them in the week.
Average actual earnings in one week of wage earners in each occupa­
tion were computed by dividing the total amount earned in the
week by all the wage earners in the occupation by the number of
wage earners in the occupation.
Average full-time hours per week of wage earners in each occupa­
tion were computed by dividing the total full-time hours per week of
all wage earners in the occupation by the total number of wage earners
in the occupation.
Average full-time earnings per week of the wage earners in each
occupation were computed by multiplying the average earnings per
hour of wage earners in the occupation by the average full-time hours
per week of such wage earners. This assumes that the earnings for a
full-time week would have been at the same average rate per hour as
was earned in the time actually on duty during the week studied.
Full-time hours and full-time earnings, as presented in the tables
of this report, do not in any way indicate the amount of employment
or of unemployment or of earnings actually made per week in any of
the years for which data are shown. In computing average full-time
hours per week each employee was credited with his full-time hours
even though he may actually have worked more or less than full
time during the week covered by this study. Some wage earners did
work more than full time during the pay period covered due to over­
time (see p. 38), while a majority worked less than full time because
full-time work was not available to wage earners in many factories.
In selecting establishments from which to obtain data, the bureau
endeavored to represent all States in which the manufacture of boots
and shoes is of material importance in number of wage earners as
reported by the United States Bureau of the Census.

OCCUPATIONS IN THE INDUSTRY

Table 10 shows by States the number of wage earners in the industry
according to the census of 1929 and the number of factories and of
wage earners included in the 1932 study. The number of wage
earners in the factories in the 16 States covered by this study, based
on the census report, is approximately 97 per cent of the wage earners
in the industry in the United States, and the number of wage earners
included in this study is approximately 25 per cent of the wage
earners in the 16 States.

Their average full-time earnings per week were $26.93, which is 42
cents less than the actual earnings in the week. The difference of
42 cents was due to the wage earners in this occupation in Illinois
working an average of 0.8 of an hour or 1.6 per cent more than full
time in the week. It will be observed that the wage earners in this
occupation in Maryland and Virginia actually worked 1.9 hours or
3.9 per cent more than full time in the week and that those in all
other States actually worked less than full time, the short or lost
time ranging in such States from 1.7 per cent in Kentucky to 52.6
per cent in New Jersey. This explanation applies to each of the
other occupations in the table.
T a b l e B.— Average and classified earnings per hour in 14 specified
occupations, 1932, by department, sex, and State.
T a b l e C.— Average and classified full-time hours per week in 14
