Chapter 2 in Occupation and Pay in Great Britain 1906–79, 1980, pp 47-132 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract In Chapter 1, we enumerated people by their jobs; in this chapter we investigate what they get paid for doing them. Employers do not buy labour as such: they buy the services of fitters, bricklayers, dress machinists, nurses, typists, physicists, and it is by occupation that rates of pay are fixed. Unfortunately (from the viewpoint of orderly presentation) there is no fixed rate for a worker engaged in a specified occupation: terms and conditions vary from employer to employer, and an individual employer may even pay diverse rates to different workers doing the same sort of job.
