In South Carolina Columbia, Oct. 1.—Thousands of workers in South Carolina receive less than $15 per week, and prob ably two-thirds of covered workers less than $20 per week—according to a study of weekly wages in South Carolina made by Dr. S. M. Der rick, Director of Research and Sta tistics for the South Carolina Un employment Compensation Com mission, released by Administrator R. B. Waters. Data on the wages of 216,000 employees are available to the Un employment Compensation Com mission. A study was made of the wages received by 8,095 employees representing different industries and areas in the state. The greatest number of workers was in the $10 to $14.99 group, rep resenting 33.51 per cent of the total. The next largest group was in the $15 to $19.99 classification, embrac ing 22.32 per cent of the total. A little more than 42 per cent of the workers covered make less than $15 per week, and a little over 65 per cent make less than $20. “A careful comparison of the wages paid by the studied indus tries could not be made”, says the report. “However, a rather super- i. jal survey of the facts indicates ;t, contrary to general opinion, t’ e textile industry is not the lowest \v; ge industry”, although present j ures do not show precisely how i! ranks. Gome of the interesting facts si.own by the study of sample data h. iicate that more than 9 per cent the workers receive less than $'.3 per week, and that less than i. per cent receive $35 per week, or I'rie. The industries selected and the number of employees covered by thp 3.095 cases studied were: Con struction, 316; Manufacturing, 4882; Transportation, communi cation and utilities. 918; Wholesale and retail trade, 1953; Service, 26.
