IpATHfIn&ER BOTH year Only $ 1.30 DOES FORD PAY GOOD WAGES? Here are some facts about Ford Labor. During the year ended November 30th, 1940, the Ford Payroll throughout the United States averaged 113,628 hourly wage earners, not including office em ployes, students, or executives. They were paid $185,105,639.12. On this basis, the average annual wage was $1,629.05. According to the latest available govern ment figures, the annual average wage of all workers in employment covered by old age insurance law was $841.00. If the 45,000,000 workers of this country received the same average wage as Ford employes, they would have had additional wages of more than $35,000,000,000, thus increasing the national income about 50%. Think what such an increase would mean to the workers Of this country and to the American farmer, whose prices are based on the national income. Wage scales in the Ford Rouge plants are divided into three classifications: llnskilled . . . Minimum hiring wage . 75c per hour Semi-skilled . . . Minimum hiring wage . 80c per hour Skilled . . . Minimum hiring wage . 90c per hour Higher wages are in consideration of ability and years of service. Minimum wage scales for unskilled labor at the Rouge plant are the highest in the industry. Top wages for skilled labor compare favorably with, or are higher than, wages in other automobile plants. Now some facts on Ford labor conditions: Not only are sanitation and other health conditions the best in the industry, but parison of compensation insurance costs: The national average rate in automotive manufacturing plants as computed by the National Association of Underwriters is in excess of $1.50 premium on each $100 payroll. The Ford cost of workmen’s compensation is less than 50c. This indicates that the chance of injury in a Ford plant is much less than in the average automobile plant. The Ford Motor Company has no age limit for labor, and in fact deliberately attempts to keep older workers working. The average age of Ford workers at the Rouge and nearby plants is 38.7. A recent check-up shows that nearly one half the workers at these Ford plants were 40 or over, falling into these age groups: 25,819 between 40 and 50 14,731 between 50 and 60 3,377 between 60 and 70 417 between 70 and 80 12 between 80 and 90 In addition to the so-called regular em ployes, the Ford Motor Company has hired, and now has on the payroll, at the same regular hourly wage, thousands of workers who are blind, crippled or other wise incapacitated for normal productive work. They are not selected for their ability to build cars or to maintain the plant. They are on the payroll because of Henry Ford’s belief that the responsibility of a large company to labor goes be yond the point at which the unfortunate worker can no longer produce profitably. The above are facts. They are open to anyone who really wants to deal in facts. Anyone who wants to get a job ... buy a car ... or place a national defense con Fora also leads in safety devices for the protection of employes. Proof of this is found in the following corn tract on the basis of fair labor treat ment must place Ford at the top of his eligible list. FORD MOTOR COMPANY
