TABLE 99.-Per cent of male employees 20 years of age or over in each conjugal condition, by general nativity and race-Continued. A total of 78,290 male individuals report complete data, and of this number 30.5 per cent are single, 67.4 per cent are married, and 2.1 per cent are widowed. The native-born show a greater proportion of married males than do any of the other general nativity groups. Out of a total of 27,771 native-born males, 29.4 per cent are single, 67.5 per cent are married, and 3.2 per cent are widowed. Out of a total of 6,049 males who are native-born of foreign father, 40.1 per cent are single, 57.8 per cent are married, and 2.1 per cent are widowed. Thirty-one and one-tenth per cent of the total of 50,519 foreign-born males are single, 67.3 per cent are married, and 1.6 per cent are widowed. Among the different races of foreign birth the Slovak reports in largest numbers; of a total of 10,383 individuals reporting, 22 per cent are single, 77.2 per cent are married, and 0.8 per cent are widowed. The proportion of married males is greater with this race than with any other except the Bohemian and Moravian. The Poles, who also report in very large numbers, make a showing not unlike that of the Slovaks. Information was secured from 6,892 Polish males, of which number 34 per cent are single, 65.3 per cent are married, and 0.7 per cent are widowed. Comparing the North Italians with the South Italians, it is found that a greater proportion of unmarried men report from the former than from the latter race. Of a total of 6,074 North Italians, 41.6 per cent are single, 57.1 per cent are married, and 1.3 per cent are widowed, while of the 3,815 South Italians reporting, 38.5 per cent are single, 60.7 per cent are married, and 0.8 per cent are widowed. Twenty-nine and threetenths per cent of the Magyars are single, 69.9 per cent are married, and 0.8 per cent widowed, while out of a total of 2,551 Germans reporting, 20.7 per cent are single, 76 per cent are married, and 3.3 per cent are widowed. Per cent of male employees 20 years of age or over who are single, married, and widowed, by general nativity and race. [This chart shows only races with 1,000 or more employees reporting. The totals, however, are for all races.] = SINGLE MARRIED =WIDOWED Comparing, by country of birth of father, those who are native-born of foreign father, the same wide diversity is found as in the case of those who are foreign-born. Employees reporting fathers born in England, Germany, or Ireland, are represented in large numbers, and those of English parentage show the highest percentage married. Of a total of 1,329 of that race, 36.3 per cent are single, 61.9 per cent are married, and 1.9 per cent are widowed. Out of a total of 1,820 males whose fathers were born in Germany, 38.3 per cent are single, 59.9 per cent are married, and 1.8 per cent are widowed. The 1,147 males of Irish parentage report 39.7 per cent single, 56.3 per cent married, and 4 per cent widowed. The information concerning the conjugal condition of males reporting from the entire coal and coke industry is important when considered by age groups. In this way there can be shown not only the proportion of married males but the proportion who are married at a given age. The first general group in the table following is for those reporting who are from 20 to 29 years of age, the second for those from 30 to 44 years of age, and the third for those who are 45 years of age and over. The detailed tabulations for the different age groups are presented on the pages following. |
