TABLE 108.-Per cent of employees within each age group, by sex and general nativity and race-Continued. TABLE 108.-Per cent of employees within each age group, by sex and general nativity and race -Continued. Per cent of male employees 14 to 19 years of age, by general nativity and race. [This chart shows only races with 300 or more reporting. The totals, however, are for all races.] Per cent of female employees 14 to 19 years of age, by general nativity and race. [This chart shows only races with 100 or more reporting. The totals, however, are for all races.] From the data presented in the foregoing table it appears that 9.4 per cent of the male employees for whom information was secured are from 14 to 19 years of age; that 20.3 per cent are from 20 to 24; that 19.3 per cent are from 25 to 29; that 13.9 per cent are from 30 to 34; that 19.9 per cent are from 35 to 44; that 12 per cent are from 45 to 54; and that 5.3 per cent are 55 or over. The proportion of male employees from 25 to 29, from 35 to 44, from 45 to 54, and 55 or over, respectively, is larger, and the proportion of male employees from 20 to 24 is smaller for the foreign-born than for either the native-born of foreign father, the native-born of native father, white, or the native-born of native father, negro. The proportion of employees from 30 to 34 years of age is largest for the native-born of native father, negro, second largest for the foreign-born, and smallest for the nativeborn of foreign father. Of the foreign-born, the Servians, Croatians, North Italians, and Greeks have the largest and the Irish and Swedes the smallest proportion of male employees from 20 to 24 years of age; the Japanese and Bulgarians have the largest and the Canadians other than French the smallest proportion of employees from 25 to 29 years of age; and the Slovenians, Magyars, and North Italians have the largest and the Irish the smallest proportion of employees from 30 to 34 years of age. The proportion of males from 35 to 44 years of age is largest for the Swedes, Canadians other than French, and Irish, in the order mentioned; the proportion of males from 45 to 54 years of age is largest for the Irish, Danes, and Germans, in the order mentioned; and the proportion of males 55 years of age or over is largest for the English, Dutch, and Irish, in the order mentioned. Of the female employees, 47.2 per cent are from 14 to 19, 28.8 per cent are from 20 to 24, 10 per cent are from 25 to 29, 5 per cent are from 30 to 34, 6.3 per cent are from 35 to 44, 2.1 per cent are from 45 to 54, and only 0.6 per cent are 55 or over. The proportion of foreign-born females is much larger than for the males in the younger age groups, and this same tendency is marked in each race. The total is a combination of data reported for males and females, and the proportions are similar to those shown for the males. |
