Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores unemployment and its causes, drawing on an in-depth investigation in Lancashire, England. Although the author focuses on the social and economic circumstances of the late 19th and early 20th century, their insights remain highly relevant today.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the lives and working conditions of shop assistants in the late 19th century and early 20th century. The author, an active member of the Amalgamated Union of Co-operative Employees, provides a thorough examination of the lives of these workers, revealing the harsh realities of long hours, low pay, and a lack of basic benefits. The author also highlights the growing disparity between the small, independent traders and the emerging corporate giants, who increasingly dominated the retail landscape. The book provides a valuable historical perspective on the experiences of shopworkers, shedding light on the exploitation and hardship faced by those who served the growing consumer culture of the time.

Shop Hours Legislation in Other Countries, Appendices, Index. ***The Appendices include a number of detailed tables listing the Wages of Shop Assistants around the country. ***'During the last few years considerable attention has been devoted by social reformers to the investigation of the conditions of labour in shops, stores, cafés, and refreshment rooms and public houses; and from time to time leaflets, pamphlets and booklets have been published throwing much light on the subject. The Press, also, in late years, has lent considerable assistance to shopworkers in reporting their meetings and in publishing articles bearing on different aspects of shop life. ***All this has been useful work, the value of which must not be under-estimated. It seemed clear, however, that there was great need for the co-ordination of the work that has already been done, and for a fuller and more systematic investigation of the actual conditions at the present time. Pamphlets and newspaper articles are very good so far as they go, but they do not enable us to obtain knowledge anything like so comprehensive as that gathered in studying the subject as presented in book-form. To meet the twofold need indicated above, we have worked some considerable time, and now venture to submit to shopworkers and those interested in shop life, the results of our labours.'
