TABLE 6.-Employees for whom information was secured, by sex and general nativity and

race-Continued.

Upon reference to the totals it is seen that more than one-half (57.9 per cent) of all the employees for whom detailed information was received were of foreign birth, while only 20.1 per cent were native-born white persons of native father, and 17 per cent persons of native birth but of foreign father, the remaining 5 per cent being native-born negroes. The wage-earners of the second generation, or of native birth and of foreign father, are composed principally of persons whose fathers were born in Canada, England, Germany, and Ireland. Of the wage-earners of foreign birth and of old immigra tion, the Germans form the largest proportion, followed by the French Canadians, English, Irish, Swedish, Scotch, French, and Welsh, in the order named. Of the races of recent immigration to the United States, the largest proportion of wage-earners is furnished by the Poles, the representation of this race being 9.6 per cent of the total number for whom information was received. The next race most extensively employed is the Slovak, followed by the South Italian, which race in turn is closely followed by the North Italian. The Magyar, Lithuanian, and Croatian races appear in the next largest proportions.

The racial composition of the operating forces of the mines and manufacturing establishments of the United States at the present time is set forth in the following tables, based upon information received for 507,256 employees of the 21 principal industries studied. The first table shows the distribution of wage-earners for whom information was secured by sex, general nativity and race, and industry, and includes all races. The percentages in Table 8 are computed only for races which show 500 or more employees.
