EMPLOYMENT OF WOMEN.
Statistics Not Required to Prove tho
Change.

In the city Of New York, in what may
be called the oiice-building district,
below Chambers street, where the popu.
lation Of a good-sized town is gath.
cred tier on tier with the ground area
Of a common city lot, young women
swarm. Morning and evening the streets
are crowded with them. Farther up.
a the same hours, a large proportion OF
the crowds that stream along the
Streets is Young women also, these
mostly OF what is known as the shop
girl class. These are now common
sights Of city life, but a man need not
be very old-at least. | hope motto
remember when the sight Of a half dozen
young women in the neighborhood OF
Wall street was a novel and exciting
event and when in the uptown stores,
even I'm those devoted to the sale OF
the uost esoteric constituents of WON.
ems attire, women were found as Gus.
toners only and were waited upon,
more or less skilfully, by persons OF
the superior sex.
Statistics, as l have said, are not re.
quired to prove the change. They are.
however. useful to measure its extent.
Take the figures of the census of 1890
with reference to the number of those
engaged in what are classified as gain.
ful occupations. The total is %, 1875, col /:
it was 17,392,0e9 in 1850. an advance OF
30.72 per cent. The increase in the
number of males engaged in gainful oc.
equations was 27.64 per cent, but the
increase in the number of females was
47.6s per cent. As the increase in total
population for the same period was g
trifle under Is per cent, it will be seen
how very marked was the influx OF
women in the homecoming occupa.
tons. If now we turn to the employ.
ments as classified in the census re.
ports we find the following ratios of in.
crease prevail: Professional services
men 4s.53 per cent, women 1884 per
cent; domestic and personal service
men 1897 per cent, women 4115 pei
cent; manufacturing and mechanical
industries, men 46.01 per cent, women
52.s7 per cent: trade and transporta.
ton. men 7Llj per cent, women %. 32s
per cent. These percentages would
of course, be misleading if the totals
were disregarded, but they indicate
clearly enough the direction in which
the change has been going on and the
lines on which it has been most marked
while the totals show that women are
now a little more than II per cent. OF
those engaged in gainful occupations
whereas in 1850 they were a little less
than IS per cent.-Forum.
