York: Houghton, Mifflin Co., 1930) and Albert REES, Real Wages in Manufacturing. 1890-1914 (Princeton, N.J.: Princeton University Press, 1961). Histoire The new cost-of-living index for the period 1890 1914 and its component indexes are presented in Table 22. The index is designed to measure changes in the prices paid manufacturing wage earners for consumer goods, though it may also prove useful for some broader purposes. Previous wage studies of the period before World War I found that real wages remained stable from 1890 to 1914 despite the continued growth of the economy. This study indicates that this conclusion was based on faulty statistics. Using new estimates of money wages and a new cost-of-living index, Mr. Rees shows that real wages rose considerably in this period, although less than in later years Semantic Scholar extracted view of "Real Wages in Manufacturing, 1890-1914" Solomon Barkin et al.
