First Annual Report Of The Bureau Of Labor Statistics PDF Download

Excerpt from First Annual Report of the Bureau of Labor Statistics: For the Year Ending January 1, 1880 This report for 1879 will contain three parts: 1. An account of the origin and work of the Bureau. 2. Agriculture, its inducements to the unemployed. 3. Wages, earnings and employment of skilled and unskilled labor. And these three parts will form a prelude to next year's report. It is not to be expected that, in the less than five months' existence of the bureau, a very extended, complete, and satisfactory array of facts and evidence could be gathered; and still more would it be im possible when all the perplexities and embarrassments of the work are considered. Next year's investigations and labors, however, will cover almost every ground of practical interest to the industrial welfare of the State. And even now we are in the possession of material, which, when compiled with other corroborative data, will make the Second Annual Report one of value and general interest.
