Codebook and User's Manual: A Survey of 711 Male Wage- Earners in New Hampshire, 1894; Reported in the Second Annual Report of the Bureau of Labor of the State of New Hampshire. Berkeley: Institute of Business and Economic Research, 1993. A SURVEY OF 711 MALE WAGE-EARNERS IN NEW HAMPSHIRE, 1894 The data described in the Codebook come from a survey of 711 male wage-earners conducted by the New Hampshire Bureau of Labor in early 1894 and published in its Second Annual Report. [1] The survey was undertaken to comply with an 1893 state law creating a Bureau of Labor and making it the duty of the Commissioner to: ...collect, assort, arrange and present in annual reports...statistical details relating to all departments of labor in the state of New Hampshire, especially in relation to the commercial, industrial, social, educational, and sanitary condition of the laboring classes, and the permanent prosperity of the productive industry of the state. [2] The Commissioner understood this mandate to have direct public policy implications. He wrote: The chief purpose of this statute is to obtain such knowledge of the general condition of the laboring people of New Hampshire, the "bone and sinew" of the state, as shall show what evils may exist in our present labor system, the cause of their existence, the proper remedies for their removal, and such other information as may give a true insight into their every day life, with a view to advancing their industrial and social welfare. [3] The data was collected by mail in a packet that included a cover letter from the Commissioner, a questionnaire and a prepaid, addressed, return envelope. It was sent out to over 10,000 individuals in "various parts of the state" and "many branches of industry." Although there is no explicit statement, we infer that the letter was sent to males only. The marital status question lists the alternatives "married, single and widower" but not widow. There is a question asking for "annual earnings (if any) of your wife" but not of husband or parents. There is a question asking whether the wages earned (if any) "by your wife and children" are required to support the family. Finally, among the responses, no explicitly female occupations are included. In his cover letter, the Commissioner tried to encourage recipients to complete and return the forms. He wrote, in part: It cannot be too forcibly impressed upon the mind of every working-man, that it is only by the help given the Bureau in this way, that the best interests of the laboring classes can be served. Were it possible, the Commissioner would be glad to call upon you in person and solicit your replies, form your personal acquaintance, and give any verbal explanation desired, but this is not being the case, this is his only method of communication with you. [4] He went on to guarantee that the Bureau would "preserve the strictest confidence with all correspondents." [5] Despite these exhortations and assurances, returns were -- at least from the Bureau's point of view -- "exceedingly meager." Less than seven percent of questionnaire recipients returned a completed blank. [6] The published responses are the data base on which we draw. The Historical Labor Statistics Project has transformed these data into machine-readable form using the procedures and codes outlined in this Codebook. Table 1 lists the questions asked in the survey and the variable names assigned to each response. Tables 2 through 45 present descriptive statistics on the values and distributions of responses to the questions asked including, where necessary, the numeric codes used in entering the data into the computer. Since version 1.0, some of the variable names and variable codes have been changed. Users are reminded to be aware of these changes. The data from this sample of 711 male wage-earners in New Hampshire in 1894 has been archived at the Laboratory for Historical Research at the University of California, Riverside.
