The Housing Of The Unskilled Wage Earner: America's Next Problem (1919) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781165116263)

The Housing Of The Unskilled Wage Earner: America�������s Next Problem is a book written by Edith Elmer Wood in 1919. The book deals with the issue of housing for unskilled wage earners in America, which was becoming a major problem at the time. The author discusses the poor living conditions that these workers were forced to endure, including overcrowding, lack of sanitation, and inadequate ventilation. She also examines the impact that these conditions had on the health and well-being of the workers, as well as the social and economic consequences of the problem. Wood argues that the government needs to take action to address the issue, and she proposes a number of solutions, including the construction of affordable housing and the implementation of regulations to ensure that landlords provide safe and healthy living conditions. The book is a powerful indictment of the housing situation for unskilled workers in America at the time and remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of housing policy in the United States.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
