Bulletin Of The Department Of Labor 1907 Vol 14 Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from Department of Labor Bulletin, 1911, Vol. 13 Monthly returns from 192 representative trade unions throughout the state, with a total member t°ship Of show that during the last half of the year 1910, the amount of idleness among or ganized wage earners averaged higher than in 1909, but that unem ployment, that is idleness not caused by disability or labor disputes but due to the condition Of trade, averaged just about the same as in 1909. The higher proportion Of idleness in general was due to the great number Of cloak makers idle in New York City during the general strike in that trade in July and August. This had the effect Of sending up the proportion Of idleness in those months, in which the trend is usually in the opposite direction, from per cent at the end Of J une to per cent at the end Of July and per cent at the end of August, so that whereas the June percentage in 1910 was below that for 1909, being as against the August percentage was much higher, as compared with the year before. If idleness due to disability and labor disputes be excluded, the returns indicate practically the course Of unemployment as affected by the condition of trade. On this basis, the mean percentage Of unemployment for the last half of 1910 was as compared with for 1909. Similar figures for the end of December are for 1910 as against in 1909. In comparison with earlier years, both 1909 and 1910 show much lower percentages Of unemployment for the last six months and for the close of the year than did 1907 or 1908, when the industrial depression was much in evidence; but. On the other hand, the 1909 and 1910 percentages are still considerably above those for 1904, 1905 and 1906.
