Higher pay urged for chain store sales girls
Washington reports the Women's Bureau of the Labor Department urged higher wages for sales girls in chain department stores. It found 70 percent of 6,000 workers earned under 15 dollars weekly, with 44 percent under 12 and 25 percent under 10 in late 1928. The bulletin noted long hours for some but not excessive schedules for most. It challenged the view that unmarried girls living at home should be paid less. Most workers lived with relatives. The report stresses wage adequacy and self support.
