TOPICS FOR INVESTIGATION AND REPORT
I
1. Make a study of the occupational groups in your locality for the purpose of discovering which of these groups receive the lowest wages. Can you connect the fact that they receive low wages with their numerical strength?
2. Is the supply of unskilled labor in your community affected by European immigration? If so, attempt to trace the relation of this immigration to low wages in your community.
3. What classes of workmen receive the highest wages in your locality? What is the relation of these high wages to the restricted number of this type of workman?
