Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Labor Bulletin of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts: August, 1901
For any individual housekeeper the most accurate hourly cost would be that based on the particular wage She pays her employ'. For the gen eral computations in the experiments hereinafter described the cost per hour Of (eight and one-half cents) has been chosen, based on a wage of $4 per week, considered a fair average for employ's who do cook ing. This cost per hour does not include breakage and the additional wear and tear for which the employe who lives in the house is responsi ble, and it is probable that the actual difference between the cost per hour Of the labor of household employes and that of workers coming in from outside, is less than these figures would indicate.
