Overview

""Employment Hours and Earnings in Prosperity and Depression, United States, 1920-1922"" is a detailed statistical investigation into the fluctuations of the American labor market during a period of significant economic volatility. Authored by economist Willford Isbell King, this work provides a rigorous analysis of how the post-World War I boom and the subsequent economic contraction of 1921 affected the livelihoods of workers across various industries. By utilizing comprehensive data on employment levels, working hours, and hourly and weekly earnings, the text offers a quantitative look at the impact of business cycles on the domestic workforce. The study examines various industrial sectors and geographic regions, providing a comparative perspective on how different parts of the economy responded to the shifting tides of prosperity and depression. This work is a vital historical resource for understanding early 20th-century economic policy and the evolution of labor statistics in the United States.
