This system can only apply, of course, to single men, and when journeymen bakers marry they generally start for themselves or turn to some other trade. Wages are reckoned by the month, and the value of board and lodging is calculated at 12s. weekly ; including this allowance the predominant wage for first hands is 27 s. No Sunday baking is done at Crefeld. The level of wages of skilled men in the building trades at Crefeld is 78 per cent, of that for the same occupations in Berlin, while for labourers it is 85 per cent. In the engineering trade, the wages of skilled men and of labourers are 90 and 101 per cent, respectively of the Berlin level, and in the printing trades the corresponding figure is 88 per cent.
