An examination of the totals of the preceding tables reveals the fact that in recent years there has been a decline in immigration from Great Britain and northern Europe to the mines and manufacturing establishments of the country, and that the incoming labor supply has been principally composed of members of races from southern

and eastern Europe. Slightly more than three-fifths (63.1 per cent) of the total number of industrial workers for whom information was received had been in the United States less than ten years, and exactly two-fifths had been in this country less than five years. The heavy influx of wage-earners during the past decade was made up of the representatives of Bulgarian, Croatian, Cuban, Finnish, Flemish, Greek, Russian Hebrew, Herzegovinian, North and South Italian and Italian not specified, Japanese, Lithuanian, Macedonian, Magyar, Montenegrin, Polish, Portuguese, Roumanian, Russian, Ruthenian, Servian, Slovak, Slovenian, Spanish, Syrian, and Turkish races. More than one-third of the French Canadian and Dutch, more than two-fifths of the Danish, English, Norwegian, and Swedish, and more than one-half of the German, Irish, Scotch, Scotch-Irish, and Welsh industrial workers have a residence in the United States of twenty years or longer. There is but little difference in the proportions of males and females in the specified periods of residence.

The following table shows, by sex and race, the per cent of foreignborn persons in the households studied who had been in the United States each specified number of years:
