men working on full-fashioned hosiery had’ actual working hours of 18 or less as compared to 57 per cent of the men in the seamless hosiery plants working 48 hours or less. Exactly one-half of the women in the full-fashioned hosiery industry worked 48 hours or less as compared to more than three-fourths of the women in the seamless hosiery industry, whose working hours were 48 or less.

In the full-fashioned industry both men and women in Berks County had the longest median hours of work. The median hours were shortest for men in Philadelphia County. Women employed in Philadelphia and Northampton Counties had the shortest median hours of work. As a result of slack work in the seamless hosiery in- dustry, median hours tended to be short for both men and women in all areas (Table 12). Weekly hours by individual plant There was a wide range in the median hours of work for men and women in the various hosiery plants. The median hours for men varied from 43 to 56 hours a week in the full-fashioned hosiery plants, and from 44 to 50 hours in the seamless hosiery plants. Median weekly hours for women ranged from 34 to 53 hours a week in full-fashioned hosiery plants and from 28 to 48 hours a week in seamless hosiery plants (Appendix Table IV).
