Total Annual Earnings More Important Than Hourly Pay
The Brookings study financed by Falk Foundation shows higher hourly wages in 1937 offset by unemployment and reduced hours, with real earnings rising for full-time workers but overall per capita earnings lower due to job losses. Meat packing and steel saw large wage gains, yet shorter hours reduced weekly pay in others, underscoring that higher hourly rates require broader employment growth to raise total earnings.
