Excerpt from The Carpenter, Vol. 64: January, 1944 In manufacturing, when the work week is reduced from 48 to 40 hours, and when the number of war workers is reduced by what will nu doubtedly be approximately about one-third from the war peak, these factors would reduce the annual take-h'ome pay to about one-half of the workers' income at the time of the war peak if no counter-action is taken. Thus, if the annual payroll, which is really the market for con sumer goods, is around 000 at war peak, that market will be reduced to around per annum after the war. Would not industry prefer to have a market of to compete for rather than one - half that size? Mr. Meany expressed a similar point of View over the radio forum.
