Part 2

This work contains five hundred and thirty-three articles, more than five hundred of which are descriptions of the occupations in which women are, or may be engaged--the effect of each on the health--the rate of wages paid for those carried on in the United States--a comparison in the prices of male and female labor of the same kind--the length of time required to learn the business fully, and the time required to learn the part done by women--whether women are paid while learning--the qualifications needed--the prospect of future employment in each branch--the seasons best for work, and if in any season the women are thrown entirely out of work--the usual number of hours employed, and, if the working time exceeds ten hours, whether it could be shortened without serious loss of profit--and the comparative superiority or inferiority of women to men in each branch. Also, openings in the Southern States for certain branches of business--the prices of board for workwomen, and the remarks of employers--with a list of the occupations suitable for the afflicted. In addition are articles on unusual employments in the United States, England, France, and other countries--minor employments in the United States, England, and France. Also, a notice of the occupations in which no women are engaged in any country--those in which none are engaged in this country--those in which very few are engaged.
