Technicians such as operators, electricians and engineers were the highest paid help and averaged about 45 hours per week. 1/ The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that the city of Washington was chosen for this survey "because of the belief that this city has been affected less than any other city of its size by the business depression, and it would therefore be possible to segregate the effects brought about by the changes in technology from those due to other causes, and especially to the depression." 8976
