In December 6 from 1930 there was a minium salary of $25 dollars per week to the woman workers.A $25 per week minimum wage for working women would be one of the greatest boons. According to Miss Mary Anderson, director of the Women & company Bureau of the Department of Labor, she said that the $25 per week minimum and shorter work week proposed by a large Boston department store owner was heartening, and if adopted generally would go far to meet the problem of unemployment "because, with higher wages, these persons can buy many necessaries which they now forego and hence can become substantial consumers."
