We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

Total Annual Wages
Table XIV shows the total salaries and wages paid in 1929 and 1933 as reported by the Census of Manufactures. Comparison of the years 1929 and 1933 indicates that the reported total compensation decreased from $85,028,000 to $71,343,000, or 16 per cent, salaries decreased approximately 12 per cent, and wages dropped about 26 per cent. The decline in total salaries was accompanied by a somewhat smaller decrease in the number of salaried employees, but since the 26 per cent decline in total wages was accompanied by practically no change in the number of wage earners, there must have occurred marked cuts in wage rates and/or a considerable substitution of part-time for full-time workers. (See Table XI, above.)
It may also be seen from Table XI? that salaried employees enjoyed a larger proportion of the total compensation in 1933 than in 1929. Salaries represented approximately 71 per cent of the total compensation in 1929 and about 74 per cent in 1933, while wages as a percentage of total compensation decreased from about 29 per cent to approximately 26 per cent.
