Opinions Vary Over Federal Wage Hour Law
The May 26 report shows a wide range of views from economists labor leaders and business figures on federal limits for hours and minimum wages. Some call it an improvement for elasticity and employment stability, others fear slow recovery and impact on industry. The 40 hour week is already common in many manufacturing sectors with a 40 cent rate in effect, and recent surveys indicate 40 hour weeks and higher wages compared with 1929. David Dubinsky supports a 30 hour week citing negotiations toward shorter hours in the garment sector. The woolen goods industry maintains a 40 hour week.
