Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Financing the Wage Earner´s Family: A Survey of the Facts Bearing on Income and Expenditures in the Families of American Wage-Earners The statement made in 1911, that, in the industries east of the Rockies and north of the Mason and Dixon line, "Half of the adult males are earning less than $500 a year; that three-quarters of them are earning less than $600 annually; that nine-tenths are receiving less than $800 a year; while less than ten per cent. receive more than that figure" called forth considerable comment. On the one hand, it was met with surprise and occasionally with incredulity and ridicule. On the other hand, it evoked a chorus of, "I told you so´s," from the radical reviewers. This latter group, in particular, generally linked a brief quotation from Chapin which appeared in the Introduction, with the conclusions stated in the last chapter of the book. This comparison between wages in a large section of the United States and Chapin´s statement that "a New York family consisting of a man, wife and three children under fourteen could maintain a normal standard, at least so far as the physical man is concerned, on an annual income of $900," was unfortunate, if not absurd. The wage figure covered a wide area. Chapin referred to New York city alone. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
