Download or read book The Census of Industrial Employment, Wages, and Social Condition, in Philadelphia, in 1870 (Classic Reprint) written by Lorin Blodget and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-15 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Census of Industrial Employment, Wages, and Social Condition, in Philadelphia, in 1870 As to the wages paid adult men in the year of the census, it was not practicable to separate either the details or the aggregate from the general account of wages. Formerly men were paid twice as much as women now the proportion is as three to two, probably. Wages fell somewhat heavily in 1868 and 1869, from the high figures of the war, but since 1869 they have advanced rather than receded further. Many classes are paid $21 per week or per day; many other classes more than this, and skilled persons at piece work earn even $5 and $6 per day. Mere laborers of course decline to $12, $10, and $9 per week, which last is the lowest rate paid to any laborers assuming to do a man's work. All skilled labor is really high, showing that the door is open to a scale of wages affording abundant means of living, to all who have the capacity to work with skill at all.

Download or read book Lives of the Philadelphia Engineers written by Andrew Dawson and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2004 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lives of the Philadelphia Engineers examines the emergence of a new class of industrial entrepreneur and the world they confronted and shaped. Historians have been reluctant to examine nineteenth-century American business leaders as a social group and this study helps remedy the defect. By examining nineteenth-century American business leaders as a distinct social group, it interweaves a history of the social and economic development of the largest centre of machine building in nineteenth-century America with the dramatic political narrative of sectional conflict, Civil War and Reconstruction. Crossing and re-crossing the boundary between industrial and political history it throws important new light on the process of industrialisation, the Civil War conflict, and the contested governance of nineteenth-century cities. While this study is firmly rooted in the experience of Philadelphia's machine builders, its historiographic significance extends to many important themes of mid-century American history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Philadelphia Negro is a sociological study of African Americans in Philadelphia written by W. E. B. Du Bois, commissioned by the University of Pennsylvania and published in 1899 with the intent of identifying social problems present in the African American community. It was the first sociological case study of a black community in the United States and one of the earliest examples of sociology as a statistically based social science. Du Bois gathered information for the study in the period between August 1896 and December 1897. Du Bois carefully mapped every black residence, church, and business in the city's Seventh Ward, recording occupational and family structure. Du Bois's Philadelphia research was pivotal in his reformulation of the concept of race. He deduced that, "the Negro problem looked at in one way is but the old world questions of ignorance, poverty, crime, and the dislike of the stranger." He supports these claims with examples and survey analysis breakdowns throughout the journal"--Wikipedia, viewed June 10, 2022.

Download or read book The Philadelphia Negro written by W. E. B. Du Bois and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2010-11-24 with total page 572 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1897 the promising young sociologist William Edward Burghardt Du Bois (1868-1963) was given a temporary post as Assistant in Sociology at the University of Pennsylvania in order to conduct a systematic investigation of social conditions in the seventh ward of Philadelphia. The product of those studies was the first great empirical book on the Negro in American society. More than one hundred years after its original publication by the University of Pennsylvania Press, The Philadelphia Negro remains a classic work. It is the first, and perhaps still the finest, example of engaged sociological scholarship—the kind of work that, in contemplating social reality, helps to change it. In his introduction, Elijah Anderson examines how the neighborhood studied by Du Bois has changed over the years and compares the status of blacks today with their status when the book was initially published.

While this study is firmly rooted in the experience of Philadelphia's machine builders, its historiographic significance extends to many of the important themes of mid-century American history. By rejecting the conventional viewpoint that timid manufacturers were conservative supporters of the plantation South and insisting that workshop owners rejected slavery, this study reinvigorates one of the Civil War's enduring interpretative battles. Of interest to scholars of business, economic, social, labour, education, urban and Civil War history, it will no doubt stimulate further debate and add a new angle to our understanding of nineteenth-century America.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contesting claims that postwar American liberalism retreated from fights against unemployment and economic inequality, The Problem of Jobs reveals that such efforts did not collapse after the New Deal but instead began to flourish at the local, rather than the national, level. With a focus on Philadelphia, this volume illuminates the central role of these local political and policy struggles in shaping the fortunes of city and citizen alike. In the process, it tells the remarkable story of how Philadelphia’s policymakers and community activists energetically worked to challenge deindustrialization through an innovative series of job retention initiatives, training programs, inner-city business development projects, and early affirmative action programs. Without ignoring the failure of Philadelphians to combat institutionalized racism, Guian McKee's account of their surprising success draws a portrait of American liberalism that evinces a potency not usually associated with the postwar era. Ultimately interpreting economic decline as an arena for intervention rather than a historical inevitability, The Problem of Jobs serves as a timely reminder of policy’s potential to combat injustice.
