Supplementary Data Pertaining To Employee Earnings Pertinent To A Review Of Minimum Wage Rates Established Under The Fair Labor Standards Act In The Fabric And Leather Glove Industry In Puerto Rico PDF Download

"This bulletin presents estimates of employee average hourly earnings and weekly hours of work in manufacturing and selected nonmanufacturing industries in nonmetropol- itan areas of the South and North Central regions in June 1965. Separate information is provided for 15 nonmetro- politan county areas in the South and 11 in the North Cen- tral region. The results of this survey supplement those of similar studies made periodically since October I960. They permit an examination of wage changes occurring during a period when the Federal minimum wage was in- creased from $1 to $1. 25, and a $1 minimum wage was established and later raised to $1.15 for employees (mostly those in large retail enterprises) brought under the pro- visions of the Fair Labor Standards Act for the first time in September 1961 ... This study was conducted in the Bureau's Office of Wages and Industrial Relations by the Division of National Wage and Salary Income. The analysis was prepared by William L. Dansby, under the supervision of Alvin Bauman."--Page iii.
