PROBLEMS OF THE NEGRO
WOMAN WORKER DISCUSSED
BY u. S. WOMEN'S BUREAU

WASHINGTON-The public pays
heavily for the substandard working
and living conditions Of many
I'D isaaGs Of Negro women workers,
according to report issued today
by the Women's Bureau of the u. S.
Department of Labor. When people
have no jobs or their wages are too
low for adequate support they still
must be supplied with food, shelter,
and clothing. In other significant
ways low economic standards for
one group are found costly to the
community.
Though very limited information
exists on Negro women workers, the
new bulletin points out, the report
brings together what seem to be the
most important facts available on
their occupational status, and on
their wages and other characteristics
of employment in the major fields of
work where they are employed. 1t
also shows clearly the difficulties
Negro women encounter in their
search for work. Though women in
general have been Disseminated
against and exploited through limi-
tation Of their opportunities for en-
ployment, through long hours, low
wages, and harmful working condi-
tions, such hardships have fallen up
on Negro women with double harsh
ness.
There are many Negro women at
work in the United States, according
to the report. One in every six Wo-
men workers in the country is a Ne
gro and in all nearly 100000 Ne
gro women were classed as gainful
workers in 1880, the time of the
last Census. 1t is further true tina:
practically 2 III 5 Negro women in
contrast to / in 5 white women work
for living.
Occupational progress for Negro
women generally has been slow In
