Summary:

This study is based on a nonrandom sample of manuscript farm wage accounts. It contains information on the farm labor force (wages and employment by gender) and the location of the farm. The records contain information on all farm laborers working at the farm, but no information on any family labor or farm servants who may or may not have been employed. First names were used to categorize workers as male or female. Complete employment records for a full year were used to calculate the total number of days worked in one year by male and female laborers. Wages are the median wages paid by gender and season.
