[This table includes only races with 20 or more selected families reporting. The totals, howev all races. For selection of families, see p. 525. Of the selected families only those which husband and wife present appear in this table.] a This column includes 7 families in which husbands' earnings are reported as “none. Of a total number of 229 families whose heads have a yearly income of less than $400, 46.7 per cent of the wives either have employment or keep boarders or lodgers. Where the husband's income is between $400 and $600 yearly, 42.9 per cent of the wives either have employment or keep boarders or fodgers, and where it is $600 or over the proportion of wives who either have employment or keep boarders or lodgers is 35.7 per cent. In each specified rate of earnings the proportion for the foreign-born is greater than for the native-born of foreign father, excepting the first column, when the number of the latter group reporting is too small for computation. Among those who earn under $400 yearly, the Lithuanians, with 88.6 per cent, show the largest proportion of wives who either have employment or keep boarders or lodgers. The Poles show a proportion almost as large as that shown by the Lithuanians. The Greeks show 40 per cent and the French Canadians and South Italians each between 30 and 40 per cent. Among the families the heads of which earn yearly between $400 and $600, the Lithuanians show that 83.3 per cent of the wives either have employment or keep boarders or lodgers. This is the largest proportion, and the French Canadians, next to the Greeks, who show zero, show the smallest proportion. Sixty per cent each of the wives of the Armenian and Polish husbands who earn $600 or more during the year, either have employment or keep boarders or lodgers. The South Italians, with 52.9 per cent, show the next highest proportion, and the Irish, with 9.1 per cent, show the smallest proportion. SOURCES OF FAMILY INCOME. The two tables next presented exhibit the sources of family income in detail. The first of these, which immediately follows, shows, by general nativity and race of head of family, the percentage of families having an income within the year from husband, wife, children, boarders or lodgers, and other sources. The past year referred to in the table means the twelve months immediately preceding the collection of data.

The totals, however, are for all races.] : a For selection of families, see p. 525. Of 650 families selected for study the above table shows that 34.8 per cent have their entire income from husband, 21.8 per cent from husband and boarders and lodgers, 11.7 per cent from husband and children, 6.6 per cent from husband and wife, and 19.1 per cent from sources or combination of sources not specified, less than 3 per cent having entire income from each other specified source. Comparing the nativity groups, it is seen that those the heads of which are native-born of native father show the largest and those the heads of which are foreign-born the smallest proportion having the entire income from husband or sources or combination of sources not specified. Practically the same proportions of each nativity group have entire income from husband and wife. The families the heads of which are native-born of native father show the largest and the families the heads of which are native-born of foreign father the smallest proportion having their entire income from husband and children. Less than 2 per cent of the families the heads of which are of each nativity group have their entire income from husband, wife, and children; wife; wife and children. The proportion of families having their entire income from husband and boarders or lodgers is largest of those the heads of which are foreign-born and smallest of those the heads of which are native-born of native father. The proportion of families having entire income from children, or children and boarders or lodgers, is less than 5 per cent for any nativity group. No families report an entire income from boarders and lodgers or wife and boarders or lodgers. Considering the foreign-born families, it is seen that th heads of which are Armenians or French Canadians are the o showing a proportion having entire income from husband, w children, and those the heads of which are French Canadian only ones showing a proportion having entire income from wife and children. Less than 10 per cent of the families th of which are of any of the specified races, except English, G Polish, have their entire income from husband and wife, and l 10 per cent of those the heads of which are of any of the s races except Canadian French, English, Hebrew, or Irish, ha entire income from husband and children.
