Men Leading Women
In Wage Payments

Women working, during 1897, on
industrial and commercial jobs COW
cred by the old-age insurance pro-
visions of the Social Security Act
received an annual average age of
$685. &C compared to an average of
$1027 for men, according to Mr.
Wade, Director of the Social Sc
curity Boards Territorial office at
Juneau. Mr.. Wade explained that
this information comes from sur
vey of old-age insurance wage &C
counts made by the Bureau of Old
Age Insurance.
The number of women with. earn
ings credited to their accounts was
8,25l, 036, or 27.4 percent of the total
included in the study. The number
Of men for whom wages were re-
ported was 21,9O6,658. The total
wages paid to women, as reported
by their employers, amounted to
$4,335, 445 ,432, while earnings re-
ported for men totaled 22,489 =
92O809.
Taxable wages paid to 1921 wo-
men in Alaska amounted to ST.
323897 the wages paid to 28,275
men amounted to $25 1927 ,432; or an
average wage of 1887 for women in
Alaska compared to $917 as the av-
erage wage for men. This differ
ence of $3.50 in the average yearly
wage of men and women in Alaska
is explainable by the fact that wo-
men as rule are primarily engaged
in industry of seasonal nature.
