The greater number of employees native-born of foreign father and native-born of native father earn $12.50 or over per week, and practically the same percentage of foreign born make under $10 per week. A comparison of the different races shows every race except the foreign-born Croatians and Russians to have a small percentage earning less than $7.50, and these races are the only two having no percentage earning $22.50 or over. The foreign-born English is the only race showing more than 50 per cent of its employees earning $12.50 or over per week.

Only 0.6 per cent earn under $2.50, and at the other end of the scale but 3.5 per cent earn $15 or over per week. A very large proportion, equivalent to 85.3 per cent, earn $5 or more per week. The percentage of employees native-born of native father and native-born of foreign father is practically the same under each specified amount, except those receiving $7.50 or over per week. In this group the native-born of native father present a much larger proportion than those native-born of foreign father. The foreign-born are not computed because only small numbers were involved.
