These figures show that over forty-six per cent of the men employed in factories were actually earning less than $10 per week, or $522 per annum; more than sixty per cent received less than $12 weekly or $626 in the year; on the other hand, some six per cent were so fortunate as to enjoy a weekly compensa- tion of at least $20, or, for the twelve months, full-time earnings of $1, 043.
