Among the 16- and 17-year-old workers, low earnings were more often the result of part-time work than among the younger children (table 26). But even in the older age group, half of the boys and girls earning between $2 and $4 worked 40 or more hours a week. The young workers who lived in the New England and the Middle Western States had considerably higher average earnings than those in the South. This comparison held true for the children in both age groups, though in each area the average ea...rnings of the group under 16 were lower than those of the older boys and girls. Among the higher-paid 16- and 17-year-old workers, the median weekly wage was $8.25 in New England and $8.05 in the Middle West, compared with $6.60 among the white boys and girls interviewed in the South and $3.40 among the Southern Negroes.^ 1 Appendix table XVII, pp. 99-92, gives more detailed figures on weekly earnings in manufacturing and nonmanufacturing industries, by area. 62 YOUIS'G WORKERS AND THEIR JODS IN 10'66 Table 26.
