WAGES AND HOURS OF LABOR IN THE BUILDING
AND REPAIRING OF STEAM RAILROAD CARS: 1890
TO 1912.
GENERAL SUMMARY.

This study of wages and hours of labor in the building and repair­
ing of steam railroad cars shows rates of wages per hour and nominal
full-time hours of work per week for the years 1907 to 1912, inclusive,
and in addition it summarizes data published in previous reports1
of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and thus furnishes a comparison
for the 23-year period, 1890 to 1912, inclusive.
The present report and also previous reports show wages and
hours of labor for each of the most important productive occupations
in car building and repairing, but do not show data for all the occu­
pations in the industry. The occupations for which data are pre­
sented in this report are given in the tables on the next page. These
occupations include a large proportion of the total employees on
productive work and approximately 60 per cent of the total employees
engaged in productive and nonproductive work.
The changes in nominal full-time hours per week for each of the
principal occupations of the industry during the period from 1907 to
1912, inclusive, as far as data are available, are shown in the table
which follows.
By nominal full-time hours per week is meant the usual full work­
ing time, such as prevails when there is no industrial depression,
overtime rush, or other unusual factor affecting the industry.
i Previous investigations of wages and hours o f labor in the building and repairing of steam railroad cars
have been m ade and published b y the Bureau, as follows: Nineteenth A nnu al R eport, covering 1890 to 1903;
Bulletin N o. 59 (Ju ly, 1905), covering 1903 and 1904; Bulletin N o. 65 (July, 1906), covering 1904 and 1905;
Bulletin N o. 91 (July, 1907)* covering 1905 and 1906; and Bulletin N o. 77 (July, 1908), covering 1906 and 1907.

An increase in rates of wages per hour makes an increase in the
earnings for a full week’s wrork if the hours of labor remain the
same. On the other hand, a reduction in the number of hours of
labor, with the rate per hour the same, produces a reduction of the
full week’s earnings. Thus changes in earnings per full week are
governed both by changes in rates and changes in hours of labor.
The next table shows for each occupation the per cent of increase
or decrease in earnings for a full week’s work in 1913 as compared
with each preceding year back to 1907.



WAGES AND HOURS OF LABOR, 1890 TO 1912— CAB BUILDING.

The occupation figures of this table are computed from the relative
nominal full-time hours per week and the relative rates of wages per
hour given on pages 8 to 11. The relative wages were multiplied by
the relative hours giving the relative earnings per full week. The
per cent of the change in the relative earnings per week were then
computed and compiled in the table.
The results of this method of computation are approximately the
same as relative earnings computed from an average of the actual
earnings per full week; the process is very much shorter and hence
has been used.
The table follows:

The table which follows shows, for each of the principal occupa­
tions in the industry, relative nominal full-time hours per week and
relative rates of wages per hour during the 23-year period, 1890 to 1912.
As indicated in this table, many changes in the occupations included
have been made from time to time during the period covered. The
base used for computing the relatives for each occupation, except as
noted, is the average of the 10-year period, 1890 to 1899.
The figures of the table are for relative hours of labor and relative
wages computed from the actual hours and wages in the establish­
ments furnishing data. The method of computing relative numbers
is explained on page 17.
As explained elsewhere these relative hours do not in any way
indicate the extent of overtime work or of unemployment.

The most significant facts concerning nominal full-time working *
hours per week and rates of wages per hour in each of the principal
occupations of the industry are shown for 1907 to 1912, or for such
of those years as data are available, in the table which follows.
The data for the several years 1907 to 1911 were secured in 1911.
Owing to the difficulty of finding records for past years and also
owing to the great amount of work involved, data for 1907 to 1909
were secured from only a limited number of establishments. Data
for 1910 and 1911 were obtained from a larger number of establish­
ments.
In 1912 or early in 1913 data were gathered for the year 1912 from
the establishments that furnished data for 1911, and at the same time
some additional data relating to 1911 and 1912 were gathered from
a few new establishments, the scope of the work being enlarged to
include a greater number of establishments.
To permit a comparison of data from year to year the data for
identical establishments are grouped together. A true comparison

can be made, of course, only of data from the same establishments.

BULLETIN OF TH E BUREAU OP LABOR STATISTICS.

Data for 1912 from new establishments are included in this tabulation
only when it was possible to get like data for 1911 from the same
establishments. The data are for the pay-roll period ending nearest
May 15 each year, except for a very few establishments in which
conditions in May were particularly abnormal.
In about half the establishments the pay-roll period covers one
month, and in nearly all the others the period is a half month. In
a very few establishments the period is one week.

EXPLANATION OF SCOPE AND METHOD.

This report includes data from private car-building shops and
railroad shops engaged wholly or mainly in building and repairing
steam railroad cars, both passenger and freight and both wood
and steel.
The number of establishments for which data concerning rates of
wages per hour and nominal full-time hours of work per week were
secured has varied considerably during the 23-year period, as follows:
1890 to 1903.................................................... .49 identical establishments.
1903 and 1904................................................. .52 identical establishments.
1904 and 1905...................................................46 identical establishments.
1905 and 1906...................................................46 identical establishments.
1906 and 1907...................................................47 identical establishments.
1907 to 1910....................................................22 identical establishments.
1910 and 1911..................................................61 identical establishments.
1911 and 1912..................................................70 identical establishments.

As before stated, the data for 1907 to 1911 were secured in 1911,
and the number of establishments included for the full period 1907 to
1910 was limited, owing to the difficulty in finding establishments
which had preserved complete records for those years.
A greater number of establishments could not be covered because
of the limited funds available for the purpose.
In order that the data from year to year may be entirely compara­
ble it is necessary that information be secured from identical estab­
lishments; therefore when in 1912 the number of establishments was
increased to 70 the Bureau secured data for 1911 also from all estab­
lishments added, thus providing for an exact comparison of the two

years 1911 and 1912.


WAGES AND HOURS OF LABOB, 1890 TO 1912---- CAR BUILDING.

15

In selecting the establishments from which to secure data the
Bureau undertook to represent all States in which the building and
repairing of steam railroad cars is of material importance, the measure
of importance being the number of employees as reported by the
United States Census of Manufactures, 1905. In selecting estab­
lishments in 1912 every State having 7,345 or more employees in the
industry, according to the United States Census of Manufactures in
1905, is represented and also eight States having less than that
number. The table which follows shows by States the number of
employees in the industry, as given in the reports of the United
States Census Office for 1910 and 1905; the total number on the
pay roll in the establishments from which the Bureau secured data
in 1912, and the number in the selected occupations and for whom
data were secured in 1912. Data were secured from the pay roll
ending nearest May 15, except for a few establishments where con­
ditions in May were particularly abnormal.
The census figures for 1910 were not available at the time the work
for 1911 and 1912 was planned, and therefore the establishments
selected, as already stated, were distributed by States according to
the census of 1905. The relative importance, however, of the leading
States, as measured by the number of employees in this industry,
did not change materially during the five years, from 1905 to 1910.

BULLETIN OF THE BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS,

According to the census of 1905 and the census of 1910 more
than 77 per cent of the total number of employees in the industry
are found in the States in which the establishments furnishing infor­
mation to the Bureau of Labor Statistics are located.
The number of employees on the pay rolls of the establishments
from which the Bureau secured 1912 data was equal to 18.7 per cent
of the total in the industry in 1910, as reported by the United States
Census Office, and the number of employees from whom the Bureau
secured detailed information in 1912 was equal to 11.2 per cent of the
total in the industry in 1910.
All information included in this report was secured from pay rolls
of the various establishments by agents of the Bureau of Labor
Statistics.
On page 14 attention is drawn to the difference in the number of
establishments covered in different years, and to the fact that data for
different years are strictly comparable only when such data relate
to identical establishments, and that the data shown are usually for
a pay period in May each year.
The hours of labor per week shown in the tables of the report are
the nominal full-time hours, that is, the regular working time, or in
case of rush or slack work, the working time to which both employer
and employees expect to return when conditions become normal.
The tours per week actually worked may be greater at times than the
nominal full-time hours per week, and there may be long periods of
slack work in which the hours actually worked are less than the
nominal full-time hours reported.
The nominal full-time horn’s per week, and the relative numbers
based thereon, do not in any way indicate the extent of unemploy­
ment. Employees may be laid off or a temporary reduction may be
made in ^working hours without such change affecting the nominal
full-time hours of labor here shown.
The rates of wages appearing in this report and from which the
relative rate of wages per hour are computed are the rates of wages
per hour of time workers or the earnings per hour of pieceworkers.
Daily and weekly time rates have been reduced to equivalent rates
per hour. The earnings per hour of pieceworkers and of employees
working at both time and piece rates are computed by dividing the
earnings in the representative pay period by the hours worked.
A change in the earnings per hour of pieceworkers does not of
necessity indicate a change in the piece rates. Without a change in
piece rates a change in methods or speeding up may increase the
hourly earnings or a slowing down may reduce them. Varying
intervals of waiting for work may also affect earnings.
Care should be taken in the use of earnings per hour in developing
earnings per week. A reduction in the hours of a pieceworker may

17

reduce his earnings in a week and leave his earnings per hour
unchanged. On the other hand, a reduction of hours for a week
worker will produce an increase in his rate per hour if his Weekly rate
remains the same.
The relative nominal full-time hours per week and the relative rates
of wages per hour for the years 1907 to 1912, shown on pages 8 to 11,
are computed from the averages shown in Table I, page 25 et seq.
The method of computing the relatives can best be explained by
using an illustration:
Thus, for cabinetmakers the average nominal full-time hours per
week in 16 establishments was 54.7 in 1907 and 54.6 in the same 16
establishments in 1908. The average for 1908 (54.6) was 99.82 per
•cent of the average (54.7) in 1907. Bulletin No. 77 (July, 1908) shows
that, for nominal full-time hours per week for cabinetmakers, the
relative was 92 in 1907 (average for 1890-1899 equal to 100). The
average nominal full-time hours for 1908 were then reduced to a com­
parison with the base period (average 1890-1899 equal to 100) by
computing 99.82 per cent of 92, which is 91.8. The same method
was followed in computing the relative rates of wages per hour: The
average for 1908 ($0.3207) was 95.87 per cent of the average in 1907
($0.3345); the relative (average for 1890-1899 equal to 100) for 1907,
as shown in Bulletin No. 77, was 128.2, and 95.87 per cent of 128.2 is
122.9, or the relative rate of wages per hour in 1908 when the average
for 1890-1899 is the base or 100. In computing for this occupation
the relatives for 1911 and for 1912, comparison was made of 34
identical establishments.
As stated above, the data are presented for each year from a limited
number of representative establishments. The number varies from
year to year, as some establishments go out of business or drop out
for other reasons and others are added. The average hours and wages
in any given year for a group of establishments will not be precisely
the same as for another group of establishments in the same year, even
though nearly all of the establishments may be common to both
groups. Thus, in the occupation of pipe fitters on page 13 it is seen
that for 48 establishments the average hours per week in 1911 were
54.9. In collecting data for 1912, information was secured from
additional establishments for both 1911 and 1912, making it possible
to compare 1911 and 1912 data from 50 establishments. It will be
observed, however, that the average hours per week in 1911 in the
50 establishments were 55.7 as against 54.9 at the same date in the 48
establishments. The average hours in the 50 establishments in 1912
were 55.2, making a decrease of 0.5 hour for the occupations between
1911 and 1912.



18

BULLETIN OF THE BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS.

In the use of representative data, as distinguished from complete
or exhaustive data, peculiar results are found occasionally; thus,
based on data for 50 establishments referred to above, there was a
reduction in hours per week between 1911 and 1912, yet the hours in
1912 in these 50 establishments (55.2) were greater than the hours
(54.9) in 48 establishments in 1911. Such paradoxical figures are not
frequent, however, but the possibility of their occurrence must be
recognized if data are available from only a limited and varying
number of establishments.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PRINCIPAL PRODUCTIVE OCCUPATIONS.

The building and repairing of steam railroad cars includes the
construction and repair of passenger and freight cars, both wood and
steel.
Information has been secured from establishments engaged in the
construction of new cars, and the occasional rebuilding or repairing
of old ones; also data were secured from the car departments of rai road repair shops, some of which do no construction work.
There are five classes of cars, viz, wood passenger cars, steel pas­
senger cars, wood freight cars, steel freight cars, and composite cars,
i. e., cars built partly of steel and partly of wood.
In car-building shops the work of an employee, to a great extent,
is limited to some one of the above-named classes.
Companies building both passenger cars and freight cars, as far
as practicable, keep the two departments separate, with the excep­
tion that some classes of work are done for both passenger and freight
departments in the same shops. This generally applies to the black­
smith shops, paint shops, pipe shops, tin shops, and planing mills
turning out work for both departments. In this report, however, no
effort has been made to show separately the employees who work
on the different kinds of cars.
In car-repairing shops the classifications in work are not so defi­
nitely drawn, as employees are required to work interchangeably,
to a greater or less extent, on both steel and wood passenger cars and
on both .steel and wood freight cars. The construction and equip­
ment of passenger cars require a higher degree of skill and work­
manship than is required on freight cars, which are built for rough
service.
When an order for cars is received, a sample car is built according
to specifications and design, and whatever alterations are necessary
are then brought out. The next procedure is to manufacture in
quantity the many parts which enter into the construction that are
not standardized and in stock.
The metal materials are distributed to the shear and punch shop,
blacksmith shop, the bolt and nut shop, etc., where the plates are

cut, sheared, punched, and fitted together by temporary bolting.

19

The parts are then permanently fastened with steel rivets and pre­
pared for assembling. These and other manufactured materials are
then taken directly to the erecting shop, there to be built into cars
by the carpenters and car builders.
While the carpenters and car builders are engaged in erecting the
car platform and body another force, the cabinetmakers, in the wood
cabinet shop are engaged in making the wooden parts of the seats,
doors, sashes, and frames, and the fine interior woodwork, paneling
and cabinet work. Part of their work goes direct to the cars and part
to the upholstering shop. In the cabinet shop the work is usually
specialized and the men graded according to their skill and work­
manship. Paneling, joining, inlaying, and veneering require a
high degree of skill and accuracy. In some shops a separate depart­
ment of the cabinet shop is devoted to making furniture, tables,
chairs, etc. This is particularly the case in repair shops, where, in
addition to repairing the cabinet work in cars, the men make desks
and other office equipment for the use of the company. The erecting
of the car is usually done in long sheds. The platforms are first
erected, placed on temporary trucks, and then pushed along the track
to be framed, sided, etc., and riveted. By the time the car, if it is a
freight car, reaches the end of the track it is completed and ready
to be placed on its permanent trucks for. painting and lettering; if it
is a steel passenger car, after being erected it is sent to the sand-blast
house, and sand-blasted to give the car a smooth surface, and it is
then sent to the finishing and painting track, where the painting and
varnishing are done and the inside finish, either of wood or steel, and
the windows, racks, seats, doors, etc., are placed in position. The
division of the work is so planned that a group of special workmen
appears at the proper time, performs the required work, and then
moves on to the car next in order, under a system that insures speed
without interference.
Car repairing covers a field too large to describe, as under it may
be included anything from replacing a broken grab iron to the rebuild­
ing of a car from the trucks up. Minor repairs are usually made in
the yard while the car is on the track. Repair work calling for the
partial rebuilding of a car is usually done in the shops by carpenters
more highly skilled than the repairers who do the minor repairs in the
yards. Car parts are made in the mill, blacksmith shop, etc., brought
to the car by laborers, and fitted into the car to be repaired by the
carpenter who is to do the work.
C A B IN E T M A K E R S.

Cabinetmakers do all the high-class woodwork on the interior of
cars requiring a high degree of skill and accuracy, such as paneling,
molding, making doors, inlaying, and joining; and in some shops they

also make furniture. The greater part of the work of cabinetmakers


20

BULLETIN OF THE BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS.

in some repair shops is to make chairs, desks, etc., for use in the cars
and offices of the company.
In a number of the larger establishments in which both wood and
steel cars are made or repaired cabinetmakers now use steel-molding
machines, i. e., machines where long, thin pieces of steel are drawn
through dies, as well as machines for sawing, shearing, punching, and
spot-welding thin steel, and in some cases special machines for setting
very small rivets. These employees cut and fit the steel parts used
throughout the inside finishing of steel cars—the doors, partitions,
panels, etc.—and are carried on the pay rolls as steel cabinetmakers.
In some establishments, particularly on repair work, cabinetmakers
work interchangeably on both wood and steel.
C A R P E N T E R S AND C A R B U ILD ER S, W OOD.

The men in this occupation assemble and build cars from the parts
made in "the various departments of a plant and sent to the erecting
sheds.
A difference should be noted between a car builder, wood, in a con­
struction plant and a car builder or carpenter in a repair shop; the
former is an assembler of parts, while the latter is a carpenter within
the general acceptation of the term, doing both construction work and
high-grade repair work.
On construction work the better designation is car builder. On
repair work both terms are used to designate the same kind of work;
but the designation carpenter is perhaps the better term, as the work
is largely that of a carpenter. In some construction plants car build­
ers are listed on the pay rolls according to the part of car on which
they work, as siding, frames, doors, lining, etc.
CA R R E PA IR E R S.

Car repairers replace and repair damaged and worn-out parts of
cars. This occupation, especially on freight cars, does not require
a very high degree of skill, as the work is usually confined to making
minor repairs.
In some localities employees who do carpenter repair work on
freight cars are designated as car repairers, while in other sections
of the country they are designated as carpenters. In this report all
such employees have been classed as car repairers, except those doing
the more skilled carpenter work; these have been included with car­
penters and car builders.
In repairing passenger coaches, express cars, and mail cars, which
is usually done under cover, a survey is first made of the car re­
ported, and it is then sent to the shops for repairs. The repair
items are carefully scheduled and shop orders issued for all parts
that must be manufactured or drawn from stock or stores.

21

Often the repairs do not necessitate the stripping of the cars.
On the other hand, if the work requires a thorough overhauling,
the seats, baggage racks, lamps, windows and inside blinds, and
all movable fixtures are taken out. The seats and cabinet work
are repaired in the cabinet shop, and seat and back cushions are
repaired in the upholstering shop. The brass work is removed
and sent to the brass shop to be cleaned, the nickel parts are re­
nickeled, and the lamp fixtures repaired. All these parts are
restored to their places in the cars by the car repairers.
The increase in steel equipment, on which repairs can not be
made by car repairers (wood), has resulted in the employment of
workmen designated as “ steel car gang” or “ steel car repairers.”
These employees remove steel parts when necessary and replace
them, straighten plates, and otherwise put cars in good shape. Car
repairers, wood, and car repairers, steel, have not been segregated in
this report.
F IT T E R S , ST E E L C A R C O N STRU C TIO N .

Fitters, working from blue prints and specifications, place steel
plates, beams, arch bars, etc., in position for the riveters, who per­
manently fasten them in place.
L A B O R E R S.

These are the unskilled employees of the industry who load,
unload, and haul material, do trucking, etc., and who perform all
manual labor that requires little or no training.
M ACH IN E W O O D W O R K E R S .

Machine woodworkers are engaged in the wood shops, and they
work at lathes, or at mortising, tenoning, planing, or other wood­
working machinery. The duties of this occupation require accuracy
and a certain amount of skill and training. These employees are
sometimes designated on pay rolls as machine hands or machine
carpenters.
M A C H IN IST S.

Machinists are employees engaged on operations in the metal­
working shops. This employment requires skill, accuracy, and train­
ing, sometimes of a very high degree. They work at lathes, planers,
grinders, etc., and have an understanding of blue prints and drawings.
PA IN TE R S.

The work of this occupation includes not only the painting of the
interior and exterior of the cars, the trucks, etc., but includes finish­
ing, decorating, lettering, etc.



22

BULLETIN OF THE BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS.

The painting of freight cars, trucks, etc., and all rough painting is
usually1done by painters of comparatively little skill. High-grade
painters are employed to do all the finishing and decorating.
The most highly skilled workmen are those who do the varnishing,
ornamental work, and graining, and apply gold leaf.
PIPE F IT T E R S .

Pipe fitters do the cutting, threading, bending, and putting to­
gether of the metal pipes and tubing, and fit together the necessary
parts for transmission of air, gas, steam, and water throughout the
car.
The water and steam line fitters are usually the more highly skilled
men.

Employees in this occupation fasten metal plates, beams, sills, etc.,
together permanently with red-hot rivets, by means of hand or
pneumatic hammers.
TIN N ERS.

These men work in tin and sheet metal, including sheet brass.
They make up and put in place the car roofs and lamp ventilators,
metal water coolers, wash basins, and drains, and make up and apply
the sheet-metal parts in lefrigerator cars.
T R U C K BU ILD ERS.

Truck builders assemble the various parts of trucks, such as jour­
nal boxes, bearing metals, bolsters, sills, arch bars, and brake beams,
which have been made in other departments of a plant, place wheels
and axles in position, and line up trucks generally.
Truck repairers are included in this occupation.
U P H O L STE R E R S.

These men make and repair leather, plush, and cane seats, backs,
cushions, mattresses, pillows, and the like. Their work is almost
entirely confined to passenger cars.
EXPLANATION OF TABLES.

This report includes six general tables covering the six-year period
1907 to 1912. Three of these tables present data as to rates of wages
per hour, and three present data as to nominal full-time hours per
week, as follows:
Table I.—Classified rates of wages per hour in the United States, by
years, 1907 to 1912.
Table II.—Classified rates of wages per hour in each year, by States,
1907 to 1912.

Table III.—Classified rates of wages per hour in each State, by
years, 1907 to 1912.
Table IV.—Classified nominal full-time hours of work per week in
the United States, by years, 1907 to 1912.
Table V.—Classified nominal full-time hours of work per week in
each year, by States, 1907 to 1912.
Table VI.—Classified nominal full-time hours of work per week in
each State, by years, 1907 to 1912.
Table I.—Classified rates of wages per hour in the United States, by
years, 1907 to 1912 (pp. 25 to 28).—This table summarizes the data
concerning rates of wages secured from the whole number of estab­
lishments furnishing information. For each of the principal occu­
pations of the industry, wage data are shown for each of the six years,
1907 to 1912, so far as data are available.
The table is divided into two sections, the first section showing the
number and the second section the per cent of employees earning each
classified rate of wages per hour. In addition to showing classified
rates of wages, the table shows number of establishments from which
data were secured, number of employees, average nominal full-time
hours per week, and average rate of wages per hour.
The rate of wages per hour was computed for each employee in the
case of time workers by dividing the daily or weekly rate by the num­
ber of hours per day or week, and in the case of pieceworkers and those
working both as time workers and pieceworkers, by dividing the
amount earned during the pay-roll period by the hours actually
worked.
The data for years grouped together by brackets in the table are
from identical establishments. As previously explained, exact com­
parison can be made from year to year only when the establishments
compared are identical.
Table II.— Classified rates of wages per hour in each year, by States,
1907 to 1912 (pp. 29 to 42).—This table affords an easy comparison
of rates of wages per hour in the several States. It shows for each
of the principal occupations the number of employees earning each
classified rate of wages per hour. Under each year, 1907 to 1912,
or for such of these years as data are available, the data are shown
for each of the States represented by any considerable number of
employees. In addition to classified rates of wages, average rates of
wages per hour and average nominal full-time hours per week are
shown.
Table III.— Classified rates of wages per hour in each State, by years,
1907 to 1912 (pp. J$ to 57).—This table affords an easy comparison
of rates of wages per hour in the several years 1907 to 1912. It
shows for each of the principal occupations the number of employees
earning each classified rate of wages per hour. For each of the more



24:

important States in this industry the data are shown for each of the
six years 1907 to 1912, or for such of these years as data are available.
In addition to classified rates of wages, average rates of wages per
hour and average nominal full-time hours per week are shown.
Of the two groups of data shown for a year in this table, only
the second group appears in Table II.
Table TV.—Classified nominal full-time hours of work per week in
the United States, by years, 1907 to 1912 (pp. 58 to 61).—This table
summarizes the data concerning nominal full-time hours of work per
week secured from the whole number of establishments furnishing
information. For each of the principal occupations of the industry
data are shown for each of the six years 1907 to 1912. By nominal
full-time hours per week is meant full time not excluding time shut
down owing to temporary depressions or to other causes temporary in
nature and not including overtime in a period of rush work.
The table is divided into two sections, the first section showing the
number and the second the per cent of employees under each classified
number of nominal full-time working hours per week. In addition
to showing classified nominal full-time hours, the table shows num­
ber of establishments from which data were secured, number of
employees, and average nominal full-time hours per week.
In using this table comparisons from year to year should be made
of data from identical establishments. The data are so arranged
that such comparisons are easily made.
Table V.— Classified nominal full-time hours of worh per week in
each year, by States, 1907 to 1912 (pp. 62 to 75).—This table affords an
easy comparison of nominal full-time hours of work per week in the
several States. It shows for each of the principal occupations the
number of employees under each classified number of nominal full­
time working hours per week. Under each year, 1907 to 1912, or
for such of these years as data are available, the data are shown for
each of the States represented by any considerable number of em­
ployees. In addition to classified nominal full-time hours, average
nominal full-time hours per week are shown.
Table VI.—Classified nominal full-time hours of work per week in
each State, by years, 1907 to 1912 (pp. 76 to 89).—This table affords
an easy comparison of nominal full-time hours of work per week in
the several years 1907 to 1912. It shows for each of the principal
occupations the number of employees under each classified number
of nominal full-time working hours per week. For each of the more
important States in this industry the data are shown for each of the
six years 1907 to 1912, or for such of those years as data are available.
In addition to classified nominal full-time hours, average nominal
full-time hours per week are shown.
