Overview

""The Income and Standard"" provides a rigorous and foundational analysis of the economic realities facing unskilled laborers and their families in the urban industrial landscape of the early 20th century. Based on extensive social research, Leila Houghteling examines the critical relationship between earned wages and the actual cost of living required to maintain a standard of health and decency. The work explores essential themes of social welfare, household budgeting, and the precarious nature of employment for the working class during a period of significant economic transition. By scrutinizing the gap between earnings and the necessities of life, this study offers deep insights into the socioeconomic conditions of urban centers. This volume serves as a vital resource for scholars of sociology, economic history, and social work, providing a data-driven look at how families managed survival under the pressures of a modernizing economy. ""The Income and Standard"" remains a landmark text in the history of social research, reflecting early efforts to apply scientific methodology to the study of poverty and labor standards.
