Publisher's Synopsis
The Housing Of The Unskilled Wage Earner: America�������s Next Problem is a book written by Edith Elmer Wood in 1919. The book addresses the issue of inadequate housing for unskilled wage earners in America, which was becoming a major problem at the time. Wood argues that the lack of affordable and decent housing for this group of people was not only a moral issue but also a threat to the social and economic stability of the country.The book provides a detailed analysis of the housing conditions of unskilled wage earners, including the overcrowding, poor sanitation, and lack of basic amenities such as running water and electricity. Wood also discusses the impact of these conditions on the health and well-being of the residents and their families.In addition to describing the problem, Wood proposes various solutions to address it. She suggests that the government should play a more active role in regulating the housing market and providing affordable housing for low-income earners. She also advocates for the involvement of private organizations and philanthropists in improving housing conditions for the unskilled wage earners.Overall, The Housing Of The Unskilled Wage Earner: America�������s Next Problem is a seminal work that sheds light on the housing crisis faced by low-income earners in America in the early 20th century.
