Wages vs Cost of Living in Public vs Private Jobs
H. T. Newcomb analyzes how cost of living rose from 1896 to 1904 by about 17 percent while private wages increased 12 to 17 percent. He faults federal pay scales for public employees, noting no raises for postal clerks and many Washington workers, despite higher food and shelter costs. He contrasts private sector gains in printers and related trades with stagnant public wages.
