Author Description

Excerpt from Labor Bulletin of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts: February, 1901 Confining our reference entirely to statements based upon the per centages relating to the city aggregate, we may note that of the entire population engaged in remunerative occupations about 32 persons in every 100 are employed in manufactures, including under that head the various mechanical trades and industries involved in production; about 22 in every 100 are found in trade, i. E., mercantile employments about 13 in every 100 in domestic service; about nine in every 100 in transporta tion, including street and steam railway employés, common carriers, etc. About seven in every 100 laborers (unskilled); nearly seven in every 100 engaged in personal service; about five in every 100 in professional employment; and about three in every 100 in government service. The last-named class includes all employés without regard to Official ranks who are employed by the Federal, State, or city government. All others remuneratively employed including persons engaged in agriculture, the fisheries, and mining, apprentices, and children at work comprise but per cent of the aggregate, or less than two persons in every 100.
