cents per hour for unskilled and 81 .391
for skilled labor, es of the last Of
November.
New High Set.
The previous high record wage rate
for unskilled building labor was 57.9
cents per hour, attained in 1920; the
average 1885 rate was 564 cents. The
1886 hourly average for skilled building
labor was $l.149; the all-time high for
skilled construction workers was at
tanned during the last five months of
1880, with rate of $139 Thus the
November, 1887, average hourly rate
of S139l establishes a new high BY
the narrow margin of one-tenth of a
cent.
Summarizing the current outlook
and future prospects for residential
building activity, the report observes
that there is vast reservoir of mort
gage funds available at low rates
However, the present backlog of un-
completed building construction Is
estimated to be 81 6 per cent of 1869
averages, compared with a May /
backlog of 43.8 per cent of the 1869
figure. Therefore, even though we
were to have a substantial volume OF
new projects undertaken by the Gov
ernment, private capital or both, it
would probably require several months
to achieve an actual increase in cur
rent building activity.
