“Miss Kellor’s previous studies of convict women and correctional institutions gave her an admirable preparation for the investigation of employment bureaus.” (Am. J. Soc.) Her researches have been carried on in New York, Boston, Philadelphia and Chicago, with the result that her material is first hand. She discusses the employment agencies, their treatment of the unemployed, and their influence upon homes and business. The last chapter is devoted to state and municipal laws.
“No previous study has accumulated such a wealth of information on this vital problem. The author has very properly aimed to give a clear and adequate statement of the entire situation and has dealt out advice sparingly. Yet she has probably suggested about all the measures for betterment which give any promise of immediate usefulness.” C. R. Henderson.

“The work is well done. This volume should command the attention of housekeepers and employers generally, as well as students, for it indicates that the reign of graft is not confined to political positions, and the corrupting influences of many agencies are clearly set forth.”
