Per Cent Salaries and Wages are of Total Expense
In 1929 salaries and wages constituted the largest single item of expense, amounting to about one-half of total expenses for all types of exchanges. In both the producer and independent type of exchange, total salaries and wages accounted for about one-half the total expenses, but in the export exchanges, this percentage was somewhat less.
