Fewer Employed But More Earned

The report of the secretary for the student employment for 1913-14 shows in comparison with the figures for 1912-13, a decrease of 43 men employed, but an increase of $14,690.97 in the amount earned. Twenty positions bringing in approximately $3,300 were filled through the co-operation of the recently organized Appointment Office of the Harvard Club of New York. These are included in the report. The decrease in the number of men employed during the summer is largely due to the general business depression.

In comparing the actual figures it appears that the number of men registered for term-time work was 601 as against 569 in 1912-13; while the number of men who obtained work was 357 as against 360 in 1912-13. There were 611 men registered for summer work as compared with 621 in 1912-13 of whom 154 obtained summer work as compared with 194 in 1912-13. The total registration for both term-time and summer work, allowing for 202 men registered in both, was 1010.
