Synopsis

This book explores changes in wage rates in the United States during the early 1900s, a period of transformative growth for American industry. Drawing on data collected by the Massachusetts Bureau of Labor, the author provides a detailed analysis of wage trends across various industries, occupations, and regions. The book examines how factors such as the introduction of new technologies, shifts in labor demand and supply, and the rise of labor unions influenced wage levels. It also delves into the impact of the 56-hour workweek law, which took effect in Massachusetts in 1910, on wage rates and working conditions. Through its insightful analysis, this book offers valuable insights into the historical evolution of wage structures and labor market dynamics in the United States.
