Women Laborers in Meat Packing Rise in 30 Percent
John R. Commons of the University of Wisconsin analyzes women workers in meat packing, noting a 30 percent rise from 1890 to 1900 while other industries grew 24.9 percent. Women, largely foreign-born, entered canning and labeling in 1876 and advanced during 1894 and 1904 strikes, earning about a dollar less per day. Poor conditions trace to wage cutting and substitution of women for men, with moral concerns raised about women doing hard labor and competing with men, amid broader stockyard abuses.
