Excerpt from Conditions of Women's Labor in Louisiana: New Orleans and Louisiana Industrial Survey It may surprise the person unacquainted with Louisiana industry, even tho a resident of the city or state, to discover that the industrial problem is concerned almost entirely with white workers. At least 85 per cent of the women workers in this city (excluding domestics in homes) are white. Colored workers are found most frequently in laundries, the kitchens of hotels and restaurants, and a few miscellaneous shops such as nut and cotton pickeries. Even in these industries, however, they are generally outnumbered by the white workers. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
