I have no frame of reference other than often reading a soldier in the Union Army made around $11 (or is it $13) a month. He arrived in United States in about 1903 and he could get jobs at will that paid a $1.50 a day which he indicates was a substantial pay increase from Holland where he immigrated from.

I don’t even want to think what shoveling coal was like in 1890s. DarrellThe best way to increase productivity in construction is to pay ‘piece work’ (paying per piece installed). I’ve just started looking at it. Lots of historical narrative on the labor market. Those who yearn for one of the hardest jobs around receive great personal satisfaction and the great outdoors in return. Scott, you no doubt will have an opinion on my input.Did the 1921 article cite any major changes in technology in play at the time?No Jim, only enthusiastic cheering from the editor that greater effort from workers will lead to prosperity. It is the industry standard in most trades.

How much money did Dr. Seuss make? Good descriptions on why interpreting the limited data is difficult. The job of cowboy is the stuff of legend.
