The Negro At Work In New York City

The Negro at Work in New York City: A Study in Economic Progress, originally published as Volume 49, Issues 1-3, offers a detailed examination of the economic conditions and progress of African Americans in New York City during the early 20th century. Authored by George Edmund Haynes, a prominent sociologist and co-founder of the National Urban League, this study provides invaluable insights into the challenges and opportunities faced by African Americans in the urban labor market.

Haynes meticulously documents various aspects of African American employment, including occupational distribution, wage levels, and the impact of racial discrimination. Through statistical analysis and qualitative observations, the book sheds light on the factors influencing economic advancement and the strategies employed by African Americans to overcome systemic barriers.

It provides a crucial historical perspective on the economic experiences of African Americans in one of America’s largest and most dynamic cities.
