Excerpt
The occupation of homemaking ranks first of all, in terms of the number of workers. According to the 1940 Census, 29 million persons were engaged in homemaking, compared with only 10 million in the next largest occupational group, manufacturing. Interest in the amount and kind of tasks performed by these workers has prompted a number of studies of their working day. Several have been published by State Agricultural Experiment Stations. This paper summarises briefly records from 1,500 homemakers, received by the Bureau of Human Nutrition and Home Economics during the years 1924 to 1928 and in 1930 and 1931.
