To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Thus the writer was shown the pay roll of a large engineering firm in the States, and the wages of mechanics on the erecting floor — not foremen or general labourers — varied all the way from 15 to 45 cents an hour, or from 33 to 100 shillings a week. In most shops the variation would be less than this but would still be much more marked than in England. This great difference in wages is a point to be kept in mind, for one is frequently told that, say, "mechanics here earn 3^ dollars a day, " w...hereas in all probability the average mechanic is getting from 2\ to 2f dollars a day, only a few very good men obtaining the full '4^ dollars. Then again, as in England, there are variations of wages with geographical position. The very large towns, particularly Chicago and New York, pay rather higher rates than the average. The Western states are noted for high wages and high prices, and the Southern states for the reverse. 48 ENGINEERING AND INDUSTRIAL CONDITIONS The writer's own impression of wages in the American engineering trades is that they rule about 50 or 60 per cent, higher, in money, than in England.
