WAGES AND HOURS OF LABOR OF COMMON STREET LABORERS, 1928
The entrance wage rates and regular hours of labor of unskilled
street laborers directly hired by more than 2,600 cities and towns in
the United States are here presented. The rates shown are those paid
by the municipalities to common laborers when first engaged on the
construction, repairing, or cleaning of streets. Higher rates may be
paid for greater skill or after a period of service.
The questionnaires for this inquiry were sent out by the United
States Bureau of Labor Statistics, under date of October 31, 1928, to
all cities and towns having a population of 2,500 or over according to
the 1920 census. About 93 per cent of these municipalities replied.
CLASSIFIED HOURLY WAGE RATES

In Table 1 are given classified entrance wage rates for common
street labor, the number of municipalities in each State paying each
classified wage rate, as well as the percentage of all municipalities
paying each classified wage rate being shown. Of the 2,626 munici­
palities reporting, 593, or 23 per cent, were paying 40 and under 45
cents per hour and 553, or 21 per cent, were paying 50 and under 55
cents per hour. While 896, or about 34 per cent, paid under 40 cents
per hour, only about 15 per cent paid 55 cents or more.
