[|Excerpt: US Working Conditions]

**The Wage System ** 'The factory system differed significantly from the domestic system. Under the domestic system, workers had usually worked unsupervised in their homes. They turned over finished products, such as thread or cloth, perhaps once a week, and were paid for the number of items completed. In factories, instead of working on a product from beginning to end, each worker performed only a small part of the entire job. Under the factory system, dozens or hundreds of laborers worked in the same room under the watchful eyes of supervisors. Everyone was employed by the factory owners. The owners paid their workers wages based on the number of hours worked or the amount of goods produced. Several factors determined workers' wages. First and foremost, factory owners wanted to produce goods as cheaply as possible. Thus employers set wages in relation to other costs of production. For example, if the cost of land or capital increased, the owners lowered wages. In addition, the number of workers available affected wages. An oversupply of workers brought wages down. By the same token, wages often rose when there were not enough workers to do a particular job. Also, wages often depended on what people could expect to earn at other kinds of work. For example, early employers in textile factories wanted to attract young women as workers. Therefore they offered a wage higher than what women could earn as household servants. Wages, moreover, were higher for men than for women. For example, in cotton mills and the London clothing trades in Great Britain, men were paid as much as twice what women earned. It was generally thought that women went to work merely to add "a little something" to their family's income. In reality, however, a woman was sometimes the only wage earner for her family. Factory workers acquired skills and were paid accordingly. However, they had little else to show for their work. They did not own their tools or equipment, as domestic workers had. Furthermore, there were few opportunities for workers to advance within the factory.' Excerpt "The Human Journey" - Holt, Rinehart, Winston [|The Wage System Document]
