This handbook compares pay-scale determination factors of the past to those of the present. It discusses the relationship of working-class wages to the standard of living, the methodology of wage payment, and the resolution of the optimum length of the work day in different trades. Maurice Dobb summarizes the influence of trade unions and the government, and defines the role of government in instituting a legal minimum wage in particular industries.
