Several interesting features are brought out by the figures in the above table. In Bombay, average daily earnings on piece rates are about 53 per cent. higher than those on time rates whereas in Ahmedabad they are more than double. On the other hand the approximate ratio between Head Jobbers on piece rates to those on time rates is 1: 10in Ahmedabad as against 2: 3 in Bombay which shows thatthe time basis of payment exists to a much greater extent in Ahmedabad. In Sholapur, the piece rate is the predominant basis of payment, the ratio being 10: 3 with average daily earnings of piece workers a little over 28 per cent. higher than those of time workers. In Bombay there is a wide variation in the average monthly earnings of Head Jobbers on time rates and those on piece rates. The same wide variation exists in the case of full time workers both in Bombay and in Ahmedabad but although the monthly sarnings of piece workers ave higher than those of time workers in Sholapur the figures for time and piece workers tend to approximate in the case of all workers and to show a wider variation for full time workers. The average monthly earnings of full time Head Jobbers on time rates are higher in Sholapur than in Ahmedabad. Earnings of Jobbers other than Head Jobbers Nantre Bombay .. Ahmedabad Sholapur . .
