Show The "High Wage" Myth It is taken for granted, by people who don't know the ! facts, that this is a "high wage" country. We he?.r continually con-tinually that high wages mean prosperity and may be they ,i would, if labor had them. Surveys in two western states, however, show that the average annua! wage in Wyoming is $1627 and in Nevada, $1618. Industrial states show an average of about SI 500 a ' year. You hear about the comparative few who get $10 a day; not much about the thousands who get $10 a week. : If we really had a high standard of wages in America, kibor's added purchasing power would soon dispell the' "depression." |
