WAGES AND HOURS OF LABOR IN THE HOSIERY AND UNDERWEAR
INDUSTRIES, 1932
The 1932 wage figures in this bulletin1 are the results of a study
in the early months of that year by the United States Bureau of Labor
Statistics of wages and hours of labor of 33,227 wage earners in 123
representative hosiery mills in 18 States, and of 11,738 wage earners
in 76 representative underwear mills in 16 States. A summary of the
study made by the Bureau in 1930 of wages and hours of labor of
33,825 wage earners in 122 hosiery mills in 19 States, and of 15,155
wage earners in 74 underwear mills in 15 States, and summaries of the
studies in each of the years from 1910 to 1914, in 1919, and in the
even-numbered years from 1922 to 1928 are also presented in the
bulletin.
Average Hours and Earnings, 1910 to 1932, Hosiery and
Underwear Combined
Average full-time hours and earnings per week and average earn
ings per hour are shown in table 1 for the wage earners in hosiery and
underwear mills combined for each of the years in which studies have
been made. As hosiery and underwear were not segregated by the
Bureau in its wage reports prior to 1926, the combination is necessary
to show comparable figures over the entire period from 1910 to 1932.
Index numbers of these averages, with the 1913 average taken as the
base, or 100, are also shown in the table.
Between 1930 and 1932 average full-time hours per week decreased
from 51.7 to 51.6, or 0.2 percent; average earnings per hour decreased
from 45.5 to 35.5 cents, or 22 percent; and average full-time earnings
per week decreased from $23.52 to $18.32, or 22.1 percent. Average
earnings in the various tables in this report include earnings at basic
rates for regular working time and extra earnings for overtime, extra
work on Sunday and holidays, if any, and bonus payments. (See
tables 9 and 10, pp. 25 and 27.)
The averages in table 1 for a combination of the wage earners in the
selected occupations in hosiery and underwear for each of the years
from 1910 to 1914 and 1919 are comparable one year with another,
but are not comparable with the averages for a combination of the
i Similar results of studies of hosiery and underwear in other years have been published in Bulletins
Nos. 134,154, 177, 265, 328, 376, 452, and 504.

HOSIERY AND UNDERWEAR INDUSTRIES
wage earners in all occupations in these industries for any of the speci
fied years from 1922 to 1932. Those for the latter years, however,
are comparable one year with another. Two sets of averages for
1914 are presented in the table, one for the 19,396 wage earners in the
selected occupations only and the other for the 29,631 wage earners
in all occupations in 82 mills.
Index numbers for the industries furnish comparable figures, one
specified year with another over the entire period from 1910 to 1932.
The index for each of the years from 1910 to 1914 and 1919 for selected
occupations is the percent that the average for the year is of the aver
age for 1913. The index for any specified year from 1922 to 1932 for
all occupations in the industries was computed by increasing or de
creasing the 1914 index for selected occupations by the percent that
the average for all occupations for each of the years from 1922 to 1932
is more or less than the average for all occupations for 1914.
Index numbers of average full-time hours per week ranged, by years,
from a low of 91.3 for 1924, or 8.7 percent less than for 1913 (the basic
year), to a high of 104.2 for 1910, or 4.2 percent more than for 1913;
those for average earnings per hour ranged from 82 for 1910 to 273.8
for 1930; and those for average full-time earnings per week ranged
from 85.2 for 1910 to 254.2 for 1930.

* 2 sets of averages are shown for 1914—one for selected occupations and the other for all occupations
In the industry. The 1910 to 1914 averages for selected occupations are comparable, one year with another,
as are those for all occupations one year with another from 1914 to 1932.
Average Days, Hours, and Earnings, 1926 to 1932, by
Industry and Sex
Table 2 presents average days, hours, and earnings, by industry,
sex, and year for the wage earners included in studies of the hosiery
and underwear industries by the Bureau in each of the specified years
from 1926 to 1932. As already stated wage figures for hosiery and for
underwear were not segregated prior to 1926.
AVERAGE HOURS AND EARNINGS, 1926 TO 1932
3
Hosiery industry.— The days on which males in the hosiery industry
worked in 1 week averaged 5 in 1932, which is less than the average for
1926, 1928, or 1930. For females in this industry the average was 4.9
days in 1930 and 1932, as compared with 5.4 in 1926 and 1928. In
computing the average, each full-time day or part of the day on which
a wage earner did any work was counted a day.
The full-time hours per week of males in the hosiery industry aver
aged 52.2 or two tenths of an hour per week less than the average for
1928 and 1930 and four tenths of an hour less than for 1926. In 1932
the average for females was 51.7 per week, which is two tenths of an
hour per week more than the 1926 average, and four tenths less than
the 1930 average. In computing the average for either sex the full
time hours per week of each person were used, even though such person
may have actually worked, in the week covered in the report, less or
more than his full-time hours.
The hours actually worked in 1 week by males in the hosiery industry
averaged 44.1 in 1932, 6.4 hours per week less than the average for
1926, 6 hours per week less than for 1928, and nine tenths of an hour
per week less than the average for 1930. In 1932 the average for
females was 39.6 or 6 hours per week less than the average for 1926,
6.1 hours per week less than for 1928, and five tenths of an hour per
week less than the average for 1930. These figures show a general de
crease in average hours actually worked and consequently an increase
in the amount of slack or short-time work from year to year from 1926
to 1932. The difference between 100 and the figures in the column
headed “ Percent of full time” is the percent of slack or short-time
work, which for males was 4 percent in 1926, 4.4 percent in 1928, 14.1
percent in 1930, and 15.5 percent in 1932; and for females was 11.5
percent in 1926,11.9 percent in 1928, 23 percent in 1930, and 23.4 per
cent in 1932.
Males in the hosiery industry actually earned an average of 67.5
cents per hour and $34.13 in 1 week in 1926; 72.4 cents per hour and
$36.28 in 1 week in 1928; 70.7 cents per hour and $31.85 in 1 week in
1930; and 49.4 cents per hour and $21.80 in 1 week in 1932. Females
earned an average of 35.8 cents per hour and $16.32 in 1 week in
1926; 36 cents per hour and $16.46 in 1 week in 1928; 36.6 cents per
hour and $14.66 in 1 week in 1930; and 29.2 cents per hour and $11.54
in 1 week in 1932. Had there been no slack or short-time work in
any year and earnings per hour for full time been the same as for the
hours actually worked males would have earned an average of $35.51 in
1926, $37.94 in 1928, $37.05 in 1930, and $25.79 in 1932; and females
would have earned an average of $18.44 in 1926, $18.68 in 1928,
$19.07 in 1930, and $15.10 in 1932.
Underwear industry.— The averages for each sex in the underwear
industry show very much the same general downward trend between
1926 and 1932 as is shown in the hosiery industry.

Hours and Earnings in Each Industry, 1930 and 1932, by
Occupation and Sex
Table 3 shows, for 1930 and 1932, the average number of days on
which wage earners worked in 1 week, average full-time and actual
hours and earnings in 1 week, average earnings per hour, and the
percent of full time worked in 1 week for the wage earners in each
of the important occupations in hosiery and in underwear and for a
group in each industry designated in the table as “ other emplo^^^s.”
The latter group includes a number of occupations, each too few in
number of wage earners to warrant occupational tabulation.
Hosiery industry.— The number of days worked in 1 week by
males ranged, by occupations, in 1930 from an average of 4.6 for
transfer knitters to 5.5 for machine fixers and in 1932 from 4.3 for
transfer knitters to 5.3 for machine fixers and “ other employees.’*
Days worked by females ranged in 1930 from 4.4 for mock seamers
to 5.2 for automatic knitters, and pairers or maters, and in 1932
from 4.1 for automatic knitters to 5.3 for folders. In computing
these averages, each full day or part of a day that a wage earner
worked was counted as a day.
HOURS AND EARNINGS, 1930 AND 1932
5
Full-time hours per week of males ranged in 1930 from an average
of 50.6 for knitters, leggers of full-fashioned hose, to 55.5 for automatic
knitters, and in 1932 from 50.6 for knitters, footers of full-fashioned
hose, to 54.6 for automatic knitters. Those for females ranged in
1930 from 49.9 for boarders to 53.8 for mock seamers, and in 1932
from 49.7 for boarders to 53.8 for mock seamers.
Hours actually worked in 1 week by males ranged in 1930 from
40.2 for boarders to 50.6 for machine fixers, and in 1932 from 38.8 for
boarders to 49.2 for machine fixers. Those worked by females ranged
in 1930 from 34.5 for mock seamers to 46.2 for automatic knitters, and
in 1932 from 33.1 for boarders to 42.9 for menders.
The percent of full time worked by males ranged in 1930 from 74.9
for boarders to 94.4 for machine fixers, and in 1932 from 72.8 for
boarders to 93.2 for toppers of full-fashioned hose, and that of females
ranged in 1930 from 64.1 for mock seamers to 87.5 for automatic
knitters, and in 1932 from 66.6 for boarders to 83.6 for menders.
Average earnings per hour of males ranged in 1930 from a low of
26.9 cents for winders to a high of $1,451 for knitters, footers of fullfashioned hose, and in 1932 from 19.6 cents for transfer knitters to
76.3 cents for knitters, footers of full-fashioned hose. Those of
females ranged in 1930 from a low of 27 cents for welters to a high of
54.6 cents for full-fashioned toppers, and in 1932 from 20.5 cents for
transfer knitters to 41.6 cents for boarders. Average earnings per
hour of males were less in 1932 for all, except in one occupation, and
less for the group of “ other employees” than in 1930, and of females
in all occupations and in the group of “ other employees” were less in
1932 than in 1930.
Average full-time earnings per week of males ranged in 1930 from
$14.15 for winders to $73.57 for knitters, footers of full-fashioned hose,
and in 1932 from $10.58 for transfer knitters to $38.61 for knitters,
footers of full-fashioned hose. Those of females ranged in 1930 from
$14.50 for welters to $27.63 for full-fashioned toppers, and in 1932
from $11.01 for transfer knitters to $20.68 for boarders.
Average actual earnings in 1 week of males ranged in 1930 from
$11.65 for winders to $63.44 for knitters, footers of full-fashioned
hose, and in 1932 from $8.32 for transfer knitters to $32.32 for
machine fixers. Those of females ranged in 1930 from $9.57 for mock
seamers to $23.02 for full-fashioned toppers, and in 1932 from $8.31
for mock seamers to $14.79 for full-fashioned toppers.
Underwear industry.— Average earnings per hour of males ranged
in 1930 from a low of 42.4 cents for winders and 40 cents for the
group of “ other employees” to 70.4 cents for machine fixers,
and in 1932 from 33.2 cents for winders to 62 cents for machine
fixers. Those of females ranged in 1930 from 27 cents for inspectors
to 45.5 cents for cuff and anklet knitters, and in 1932 from 21.9 to
36.7 cents for the same occupations. Averages for males and females
in each occupation were less in 1932 than in 1930.

HOSIERY AND UNDERWEAR INDUSTRIES
Average Days, Hours, and Earnings, 1930 and 1932, by Sex
and State
Table 4 shows average days, hours, and earnings, and the percent
of full time worked for all of the wage earners of each sex and of both
sexes combined who were included in the studies of each of the 2
industries in each State or group of 2 States in 1930 and 1932. To
avoid publishing figures for one mill only in a State and thus possibly
revealing its identity, combinations were made of the wage figures
for mills in the hosiery industry in Alabama and Louisiana, Maryland
and West Virginia, and Minnesota and Wisconsin, and for mills in
the underwear industry in New Hampshire and Vermont. Averages
are shown for hosiery mills in Philadelphia because of the large num
ber of mills and wage earners found in that city, and for the same
reason also for mills in eastern Pennsylvania, excluding Philadelphia.
Hosiery industry.— Earnings per hour of males in all States com
bined averaged 70.7 cents in 1930 and 49.4 cents in 1932, and in differ
ent States ranged from a low of 33.7 cents to a high of $1,217 in 1930,
and from 20.9 to 76.7 cents in 1932. Females in all States combined
earned an average of 36.6 cents in 1930 and 29.2 cents in 1932, and
their averages in different States ranged from 19.4 to 53 cents in 1930,
and from 13.8 to 38 cents in 1932. Average earnings per hour of
males and of females for each State, except one, were less in 1932 than
in 1930. The loss ranged by States from 0.2 cent for the State with
the least decrease to 56.3 cents per hour for the State in which the
greatest decrease occurred. These extremes apply to males. Hours
actually worked in 1 week by males in all States combined averaged
45 in 1930 and 44.1 in 1932, and in the various States the averages
ranged in 1930 from 39.2 to 50, and in 1932 from 39.5 to 54.7; while
for females in all States combined the average was 40.1 hours in 1930
and 39.6 in 1932, and in the different States ranged from 33.4 to 47.5
Vfx 1930, and from 33.5 to 46.4 in 1932.
The percent of full time worked in 1 week by males in all States
combined was 85.9 in 1930 and 84.5 in 1932, and in the different
States ranged from 80 to 101 in 1930, and from 73.6 to 98.6 percent
in 1932. Females in all States combined worked 77 percent of full
time in 1930 and 76.6 percent in 1932, and the percent in the differ
ent States ranged from 68 to 92.2 in 1930, and from 66.1 to 87.9 in
i932.
Underwear industry.— Males in all States combined earned an aver
age of 45.8 cents per hour in 1930 and 40.8 cents in 1932, and in the
different States their averages ranged from 32.6 to 61.5 cents per
hour in 1930 and from 19.9 to 56.7 cents in 1932. Females in all
States earned an average of 33 cents per hour in 1930 and 26 cents in
1932, and in the different States their averages ranged from 24.1 to
45.9 cents in 1930 and from 16.8 to 38 cents per hour in 1932. Aver
age earnings per hour of males and females combined for each State
were less in 1932 than in 1930.

Classified Earnings per Hour, 1930 and 1932, by Occupation
and Sex
Table 5 shows average earnings per hour and a percentage distri
bution, by average earnings per hour, of the wage earners included
in 6 representative occupations in the hosiery industry and in 5
representative occupations in the underwear industry in 1930 and
1932. This table was limited to these occupations in the interest of
economy in the cost of printing. They represent fairly the percent
age distribution, according to earnings per hour, of wage earners in
an occupations in each of the 2 industries. For a similar distribu
tion, by number, of the wage earners in each of these occupations in
each State, see table B, page 71.
The 1932 figures in table 5 for the six occupations in the hosiery
industry are for a total of 6,934 males, or 53.7 percent of all males
included in all occupations; for a total of 7,575 females, or 37.3 percent
of all females; and for 14,509 males and females, or 43.7 percent of all
wage earners included in the study of the industry in that year.
CLASSIFIED EARNINGS PER HOUR, 1930 AND 1932
13
Those for the 5 occupations in the underwear industry are for 444
males, or 20.4 percent of the total of that sex in all occupations; for
3,199 females, or 33.4 percent of all females; and for 3,643 males and
females, or 31 percent of all wage earners included in the 1932 study
of the industry.
In 1930 the 1,619 boarders, male, in the 82 hosiery mills that were
included in the study in that year earned an average of 48.8 cents per
hour and the classified figures show that 22 percent of them earned an
average of less than 30 cents per hour. The 1,513 covered in 1932
earned an average of 38 cents per hour and 38 percent of them earned
an average of less than 30 cents per hour.

Classified Full-Time Hours per Week, 1930 and 1932, by
Occupation and Sex
The regular or customary full-time hours per week of an establish
ment are the hours of operation when it is working its recognized
standard of full time as established by a regular time of beginning
and quitting work each day less the regular time off for meals. Such
hours do not include any overtime, nor are they affected in any way
by slack or part-time work by the establishment or by any wage earner.
Table 6 shows average full-time hours per week and a percentage
distribution, by full-time hours per week, of the wage earners in
6 representative occupations in the hosiery industry and in 5 repre
sentative occupations in the underwear industry for 1930 and 1932.
The averages for the two periods do not show any very marked varia
tion. For a similar distribution, by number, of the wage earners in
each of these occupations in each State, see table C, page 78.

Full-Time Hours per Week and per Day, 1932, by State
Table 7 shows for each of the two industries covered in this report
the regular or customary hours of operation per week and per day,
Monday to Friday and Saturday, in 1932, and the number of mills in
each State at each specified number of such hours. In a few of the
mills the hours of a small percent of the wage earners were not the
same as those of a majority of the workers in such mills. The hours
in the table for such mills are those for the majority of the workers in
them. The hours for males and females were the same in 114 hosiery
and in 69 underwear mills and not the same in 9 hosiery and 7 under
wear mills. Two sets of hours are shown for the 9 hosiery and 7 under
wear mills— one for males and the other for females.
Hosiery industry.—Full-time hours in hosiery mills in 1932 ranged
from 45 per week (Monday to Friday, 8 hours per day, Saturday, 5
hours) in one mill for both males and females to 60 hours per week
(Monday to Friday, 11 hours per day, Saturday, 5 hours) in one for
males only. Females in the latter mill had the same hours per day
but were relieved 5 hours 1 day each week, resulting in a 55-hour
week.
The 5-day week was in effect in six hosiery mills with no work on
Saturday, as follows: one of 9% hours per day or 48 per week; one of
9% hours, Monday to Thursday, and 9 Friday, or 48 per week; three
of 10 hours, or 50 per week; and one of 10 hours per day or 50 per
week for males, and 9% per day or 48% per week for females. In
addition to these six, there was one mill in which the hours of males
were 9% hours, Monday to Friday, 5 on Saturday, or 53 per week,
while those for females were 9% Monday to Friday only or 48 per week.
The full-time hours of 18 hosiery mills were 8%per day five days and
4% one day or 48 per week; of 10 were 9}{ five days and 5 one day or
52 K per week; of 31 were 10 five days and 5 one day or 55 per week.
Underwear industry.— Full-time hours per week in underwear mills
ranged in 1932 from 40 to 58, and hours per day, Monday to Friday,
ranged from 8 to 11, and on Saturday ranged from 3% to 6. The
5-day week was in effect in three underwear mills with no work on
Saturday, as follows: One of 8 hours per day or 40 per week and two
of 11 hours per day or 55 hours per week.

Changes in Wage Rates, March 1, 1930, to Period of 1932
Study
Hosiery industry.—Between March 1, 1930, and the period of the
1932 study of this industry 118 of the 123 mills for which days, hours,
and earnings of wage earners are presented in this bulletin made one
or more reductions in the wage rates of all or a specified part of their
wage earners. During this period there was no reduction in the rates
of any of the wage earners in 5 mills and no increase in the rates in 122
mills. One mill increased the rates of some of its wage earners
(“ pairers or maters” ) 10 percent in 1931 but in the same year reduced
their rates twice, 10 percent each time.
During the period defined above wage rates of all or part of the wage
earners were reduced once in 37 mills, twice in 39 mills, three times m
22 mills, four times in 9 mills, five times in 3 mills, and 6 times in 1
mill. In 5 mills the number of reductions was not available but the
total of the reductions in the form of percentage for each mill was
reported for the period. The number of reductions and the total of
such reductions were not reported for 2 mills in which rates were
reduced more than once during the period.
In the 37 mills in which rates were reduced only once during the
period the reduction affected all wage earners in 34 mills and a certain
part of the wage earners in 3 mills. In the 34 mills the reduction was
5 percent in 1; 10 percent in 16; 12 percent in 1; 15 percent in 3; 20
percent in 4; 30 percent in 1; 35 percent in 2; and in 6 mills the re
ductions varied by occupation, ranging from a low of 10 percent for
several occupations to a high of 45 percent for “ knitters, footers,
full-fashioned.”
In the 39 mills in which rates were reduced twice during the period
the reductions affected all wage earners in 25 mills and a certain part
of the wage earners in 14 mills. In the 25 mills the reductions were 5
and 10 percent in 1; 8 and 20 percent in 1; 10 and 10 percent in 7;
12 and 12 percent in 1; 10 and 15 percent in 1; 10 and 20 percent in 1; 10
and 22 percent in 2; 10 and 25 percent in 3; 20 and 20 percent in 1;
24
HOSIERY AND UNDERWEAR INDUSTRIES
25 and 30 percent in 2; and in 5 mills the aggregate reductions varied,
by occupation, from 10 percent in 1 mill to 60 percent in another.
In the 22 mills in which rates were reduced three times during the
period the reductions affected all wage earners in 13 mills and part of
the wage earners in 9 mills. In the 13 mills the reductions ranged
from a low of 5, 5, and 5 percent to a high of 10, 20, and 30 percent for
all wage earners.
In tne 9 nulls in which rates were reduced four times during the
period the reductions affected all wage earners in 4 mills and part of
the wage earners in 5 mills. The reductions in the 4 mills ranged from
a low of 5, 5,10, and 10 percent to a high of 10, 8, 5, and 17 percent.
In the 3 mills in which rates were reduced five times during the
period the reductions, which affected all wage earners in 1 mill, were
10 percent 5 times. In the 2 other mills the reductions affected
various groups of wage earners.
In 1 mill six reductions in wage rates were made but no one
occupation was affected more than four times during the period.
A total of 50 reductions were made in 1930, of 133 in 1931, and of 57
in 1932 by the 111 mills that reported the year in which each reduction
was made. Seven mills did not report the year in which each reduc
tion was made. These reductions were primarily the cause of the de
crease in average earnings from 49.7 cents per hour in 1930 to 37.6
cents in 1932 and from $20.83 per week in 1930 to $15.53 in 1932.
The decrease per hour was 24.3 percent and per week 25.4 percent.
Underwear industry.— During the period between March 1, 1930,
and the time of the 1932 study of this industry 62 of the 76 mills for
which days, hours, and earnings of wage earners are presented in this
bulletin made one or more reductions in the wage rates of all or of a
specified part of their wage earners. During the period there was no
reduction in the rates of any of the wage earners in 14 mills and no
increase in the rates in 75 mills. One mill increased rates of all wage
earners 10 percent once in 1931 but in the same year reduced their
rates 10 percent.
During the period defined above wage rates of all or of a part
of the wage earners were reduced once in 37 mills, twice in 17 mills,
three times in 5 mills, and four times in 1 mill. One mill reported an
aggregate reduction for the period but the number of reductions and
year of each reduction were not available. In 1 mill adjustments in
wage rates were made for part of the wage earners but details were not
available.
In the 37 mills in which rates were reduced only once during the
period the reduction affected all wage earners in 34 mills and a certain
part of the wage earners in 3 mills. In the 34 mills the reduction was
7 percent in 2,7.5 percent in 1,10 percent in 25,20 percent in 3,25 per
cent in 1, and in 2 mills the reduction varied according to occupation.
In the 17 mills in which rates were reduced twice during the period
the reductions affected all wage earners in 13 mills and a part of the
wage earners in 4 mills. In the 13 mills the reductions were 5 and 10
percent in 1, 10 and 10 percent in 8, 12.5 and 12.5 percent in 1, 10.7
and 13.8 percent in 1, and 10 and 20 percent in 2 nulls.
In the 5 mills in which rates were reduced three times during the
period the reductions were 5, 5, and 10 percent in 1 mill, 10, 10 and
10 percent in 3 mills, and in 1 mill the reductions varied according to
occupation.
pay
fo r
o v e r tim e
25
One mill made four reductions in wage rates but no occupation was
affected more than twice.
A total of 9 reductions were made in 1930, of 49 in 1931, and of 32
in 1932 in the 60 mills that reported the year in which each reduction
was made.
Pay for Overtime and for Extra Work on Sunday and
Holidays, 1932
Overtime is any time worked by a wage earner or a group of wage
earners in excess of his or their regular or customary full-time hours
per day or per week, regardless of the rate of pay for such time.
For definition of full-time hours, see page 16. Work on Sunday and
holidays is extra work or overtime only when performed by wage
earners whose regular or customary hours per week do not provide
for work on such days. Work on Saturday by any wage earner in an
establishment in which the 5-day week, Monday to Friday, is in effect
is overtime.
There was provision for the payment of a higher rate for overtime
than for regular working time in 16, and for extra work on Sunday
and holidays in 13 of the 123 hosiery mills covered in the 1932 study
of the industry. None of the 76 underwear mills covered in the
study provided for the payment of a higher rate for overtime than for
regular working time and only 1 of them had provision for the pay
ment of a higher rate for extra work on Sunday and holidays than for
regular working time.
Table 9 shows the number of mills in which there was provision for
a higher rate for overtime and for extra work on Sunday and holidays
than for regular working time, the wage earners eligible to the higher
rate, and the number of times the regular rate or the additional
amount paid for such work.

Index Numbers of Employment and of Pay Rolls, 1923 to
1932
Table 11 presents index numbers of employment and of pay rolls
in hosiery and knit goods for each month and year from January
1923 to December 1932. The numbers are as published by the
Bureau of Labor Statistics in monthly reports on Trend of Employ
ment in the United States.
During the period of years covered by the table, employment, by
months, was highest at an index of 105.3 in April 1923 and lowest at
an index of 67.5 in July 1932. Pay rolls were highest at 113.7 in
October 1929 and lowest at 40.4 in July 1932.
Indexes of employment ranged, by years, from a low of 79.6 in 1932
to a high of 102.1 in 1923, and of pay rolls ranged from a low of 56.5
in 1932 to a high of 104.3 in 1929.
The figures in other tables in this report are for “ hosiery” and for
“ underwear” , while those in this table are for “ hosiery and knit
goods.” It is safe to assume that the numbers in this table fairly
represent the trend of employment and of pay rolls in the manufac
ture of hosiery and underwear, because data for these two industries
constitute the greater part of the material included by the United
States Census of Manufactures under “ knit goods.”

Importance of Knit-Goods Industry, 1849 to 1929
The figures in table 12, except “ average yearly earnings per wage
earner” , are as reported by the United States Census of Manufac
tures for each of the specified years 1849 to 1929. The yearly average
per wage earner was computed by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
This table shows the growth and importance of the knit-goods
industry as a whole (all classes), including hosiery and underwear,
from 1849 to 1929, and also of hosiery and underwear separately
from 1923 to 1929. There was no segregation of data prior to 1923.
Knit-goods industry.— The number of knit-goods establishments of
all classes, including hosiery and underwear, increased from 85 in
1849 to 2,323 in 1923; decreased to 1,987 in 1925, and to 1,869 in
1927; and then increased to 1,888 in 1929. The average number of
wage earners increased from 2,325 in 1849 to 172,572 in 1919; then
alternately fell and rose, reaching the number of 208,488 in 1929.
The amount paid to wage earners increased year by year from
$360,000 in 1849 to $210,714,000 in 1929. Average annual earnings
per wage earner for “ all classes” increased from $155 in 1849 to $183
in 1859, to $299 in 1869; decreased to $223 in 1879; increased gradu
ally each census year to an average of $397 in 1914; and then increased
to $725 in 1919, or 82.6 percent during the 5-year period, and con
tinued to increase each succeeding census year to $1,011 in 1929.
Hosiery industry.— The number of hosiery mills decreased from 721
in 1923 to 672 in 1927, and increased to 730 in 1929. Wage earners
increased in number, year to year, from 96,957 in 1923 to 129,542
in 1929, and total earnings rose from $78,762,000 in 1923 to $140,079,000 in 1929. Average annual earnings per wage earner increased,
year to year, from $812 in 1923 to $1,081 in 1929.
Underwear industry — There was a decrease in number of mills,
year to year, from 326 in 1923 to 251 in 1929, and in wage earners
from 48,552 in 1923 to 41,487 in 1929. The amount paid to wage
earners increased from $39,932,000 in 1923 to $40,145,000 in 1925,
and then decreased to $39,183,000 in 1927 and to $32,928,000 in
1929. Average annual earnings per wage earner increased from $822
in 1923 to $848 in 1927, and then decreased to $794 in 1929.

Growth of Hosiery Industry, 1919 to 1929, by Kind
The style or make of hosiery in the United States has changed
materially since 1919, due to the great demand for full-fashioned
hosiery. According to the Census of Manufactures, production of
full-fashioned hosiery increased, year to year, from 7,566,741 dozen
pairs in 1919 to 31,929,245 dozen pairs in 1929, an increase of 322 per
cent in 10 years. The value of full-fashioned hosiery increased, year
to year, from $66,539,105 in 1919 to $311,634,126 in 1929, or nearly
five times the 1919 value.
Production of seamless hosiery decreased from 77,079,016 dozen
pairs in 1919 to 71,876,373 dozen pairs in 1921, or 6.7 percent; in
creased 11.8 percent between 1919 and 1923; and decreased each
succeeding census year to 1929, when it was only 2.8 percent more
than in 1919.
The value of seamless hosiery decreased from
$242,123,272 in 1919 to $197,469,040 in 1921, or 18.4 percent; increased
26.3 percent between 1921 and 1923 and 2.5 percent between 1923 and
1925; and then decreased 18.7 percent between 1925 and 1927 and 9.2
percent between 1927 and 1929. The 1929 value was 22 percent less
than the 1919 value.
Scope and Method
The 1932 wage data used in the compilation of this report were
taken for a pay period in the earlier months of 1932 by agents of the
Bureau of Labor Statistics directly from the pay rolls and other
records of 123 representative hosiery mills in 18 States for 33,227
wage earners, and of 76 underwear mills in 16 States for 11,738 wage
earners, or a total of 44,965 in the two industries.
The mills included in this report were those whose principal articles
of manufacture were hosiery and underwear. Departments, if there
were any, in the mills in which wage earners were engaged in the
manufacture of articles other than hosiery and underwear were not
included in the study. Consequently the figures in the report are
only for such wage earners as were engaged in the manufacture of
hosiery or of underwear. Data were not included from mills whose
principal products were sweaters, bathing suits, gloves, mittens, caps,
mufflers, scarfs, shawls, dress goods, suitings, specialties, or under
36
HOSIERY AND UNDERWEAR INDUSTRIES
wear made from woven goods; nor for clerks, foremen, power-house
workers, watchmen, teamsters, chauffeurs, janitors who clean offices
and wash rooms, and mechanics on new construction work, nor those
engaged in the repair of old buildings.
The occupations in the hosiery and underwear industries for which
wage figures are shown in the tables of this report, each of which is
defiled in Bulletin No. 504 (pp. 77 to 82), are given below.

Wage earners in occupations other than those listed above are
included in the group of “ other employees.”
In selecting mills from which to obtain wage data the Bureau
endeavored to represent all States in which the manufacture of hosiery
and underwear is of material importance in number of wage earners
as reported by the United States Bureau of the Census.
A few large and completely equipped mills are represented in this
report by only a part of the total number of wage earners in them, as
the inclusion of all would have tended to overweight and possibly
impair the representative character of the averages for States in which
such large mills are located.
Practically all of the mills in each industry pay wage earners every
week. Data for those with a pay period of more than 1 week were so
taken as to make it possible to show wage figures for 1 week for all
mills included in the study.
A very large percentage of the wage earners in the industries are
pieceworkers. In mills where the time actually worked by such
workers was not of record arrangements were made by agents of the
Bureau with the officials of such mills for a day-by-day record to be
kept of all time actually worked by each wage earner who did any
piecework during a representative pay-roll period. The averages in
this report for any occupation in which there were both time and
piecework were obtained by combining wage figures for the two kinds
of work.
Average days on which wage earners in an occupation worked in 1
week were computed by dividing the total number of days on which
they worked in the week by the number of such wage earners. In
computing the average each full day or part of a day that a wage
earner did any work in the week was counted as a day.
37
&COPJfi AND METHOD
Average full-time hours per week for the wage earners in an occu
pation were computed by dividing their combined full-time hours
per week by the number of wage earners in the occupation in the week.
The full-time hours per week of each wage earner were used in arriving
at this average, even though some may have worked more or less than
full time on account of entering or leaving the service during the week
or because of overtime, sickness, disability, or other cause.
Average hours actually worked in 1 week for the wage earners in an
occupation were computed by dividing the total of the hours they
actually worked in the week by the number of wage earners in the
occupation in the week.
The percent of full time worked in 1 week for the wage earners in
an occupation was obtained by dividing the average of the hours
actually worked in the week by the average of the full-time hours per
week.
Average earnings per hour for the wage earners in each occupation
were computed by dividing their total earnings in 1 week by the total
hours that they actually worked in the week.
Average full-time earnings per week for the wage earners in each
occupation were computed by multiplying their average earnings per
hour by their average full-time hours per week. This average rep
resents what the employees would have earned if all of them had
worked full time in the week and at the same average earnings per
hour as in the time they actually worked.
Average actual earnings in 1 week for the wage earners in an occu
pation were computed by dividing their total or aggregate earnings in
the week by the number of such wage earners in the occupation.
Table 13 shows the number of wage earners in hosiery and under
wear manufacturing in each State in 1929, as reported by the Census
of Manufactures, and the number of establishments and wage earners
included in the 1932 study in each State.

General Tables
In addition to the text tables already shown five general tables are
presented, as follows:
T a b l e A.—Average number of days on which wage earners worked,
average full-time and actual hours and earnings per week, average
earnings per hour, and percent of full time worked, 1930 and 1932, by
occupation, sex, and State. The table shows for each occupation and
State all of the various averages that were computed from the wage
figures collected in 1930 and 1932.
Average full-time hours per week and average hours actually worked
in 1 week are presented in parallel columns for the purpose of making
easy the comparison of the hours that would have been worked in 1
week, had all wage earners in the occupation worked no more nor less
than full time, with the average hours that were actually worked in
the week. One shows the full-time hours per week under normal
conditions, and the other shows the hours that were actually worked
in 1 week.
On page 55 the table shows that the 12,908 males in the 123 hosiery
mills worked on an average of 5 days in 1 week; that the average full
time hours per week were 52.2; that they actually worked an average
of 44.1 hours in the week, or 84.5 percent of full time; that they earned
an average of 49.4 cents per hour and $21.80 in the week, and that had
they worked full time at the same average per hour as was earned in
the 44.1 hours they would have earned an average of $25.79 in the
week. It will be observed that like figures are shown for males in
