The only relevant general data available relate to the distribution of wage-earners by rate of weekly earnings in all industries included in the Census of Industrial Production. Less than one-third of the employees in the State are covered by these data.
With your permission, Sir, I propose to circulate in the Official Report a table giving the latest available information derived from the Census of Industrial Production.
Following is the statement:
