Book Overview

""The Hours of Work Problem in Five Major Industries"" is a book published by the National Industrial Conference Board in 1920. The book explores the issue of working hours in five major industries: cotton goods, woolen and worsted goods, silk goods, boots and shoes, and men's clothing. The authors conducted extensive research on the hours of work in these industries and analyzed the impact of long working hours on the health and productivity of workers. The book also examines the various factors that influence working hours, including labor laws, union agreements, and economic conditions. The authors provide recommendations for improving working conditions and reducing the number of hours worked by employees. This book is a valuable resource for historians, researchers, and policymakers interested in the history of labor and working conditions in the United States.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
