HOURS AND EARNINGS OF MEN AND WOMEN IN 
THE HOSIERY INDUSTRY 
INTRODUCTION 
Pennsylvania has been called the original hosiery state, since it was 
in this State that the first machine-made hosiery was manufactured. 
Since the introduction of machinery into the hosiery industry, Penn- 
sylvania has taken the lead in this branch of the textile industry, pro- 
dueing more than one-third of the hosiery manufactured in the United 
States.* The manufacture of the two main types of hosiery, seamless 
and full-fashioned, form what is in essence two industries. The past 
few years have seen significant changes in these industries. Seamless 
hosiery has been more and more supplanted by full-fashioned hosiery 
and the use of cotton as a raw material has given way to silk.** As 
a result, at the present time seamless hosiery manufacture is on the 
wane while the full-fashioned industry flourishes. *** 
Since 1923 employment and wage payment figures for the hosiery 
industry have been collected by the Federal Reserve Bank of Phila- 
delphia and published by the Department of Labor and Industry in 
its monthly bulletin. These figures, while of great value in showing 
the general trend of the industry from year to year, offer no informa- 
tion as to hours of work and earnings as affected by type of hosiery 
manufactured, geographical location, occupational classification, or sex. 
The purpose of this study is to present a more detailed analysis of the 
hours and earnings of hosiery workers, giving this additional informa- 
tion. In order that the material used in this study might be on a 
basis comparable to the data gathered through the Federal Reserve 
Bank of Philadelphia, the payrolls of the same establishments have 
been reviewed. 
*U. 8. Census of Manufacturers, 1920, page 1206. 
Ti he time this study was made. very little rayon was being used in the manufacture 
nt hosiery. 
***Full-fashioned hosiery production increased about 81 per cent from 1925 to 1928, while 
seamless hosiery production declined about 43 per cent. Those data are based on monthly 
reports of production issued by the U, 8. Department of Commerce and published in “Signifi- 
cant Post-War Changes in Full-Fashioned Hosiery Industry,” George William Tavlor. Uni- 
versity of Pennsvlvania Press 1629.
