Sinossi
Uncovering how employment agencies shaped homes and work in early 20th‑century cities
This essential study examines the rise of intelligence offices and employment agencies that linked households with workers. Based on a large, multi‑city investigation, it reveals how the industry operated, the people it affected, and the reforms that were explored to improve conditions for both employers and workers.
The book looks at how agencies functioned, who ran them, and the complex social and economic pressures surrounding domestic service. It discusses the challenges investigators faced, the methods used to gather information, and the realities of wages, contracts, isolation, and supervision in home work.
- How households and agencies interacted, including licensing, fees, and practices across cities.
- The lived experiences of house workers, including hours, independence, and social constraints.
- Issues of trust, safety, and legality in the hiring and placement process.
- Early ideas for regulation and reform that emerged from the study.
Ideal for readers of historical labor studies and urban reform, this edition brings to light the pressures and possibilities faced by workers and the agencies that matched them with homes.

Valutazione del venditore 5 su 5 stelle
Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is an investigative report on employment agencies in major U.S. cities, primarily targeting intelligence offices that placed workers for domestic employment during the early 20th century. At a time of social and economic transformation, the author's research sheds light on an industry facing increased demand due to women entering the workforce in growing numbers. The author found these agencies to be a critical but often problematic intermediary, revealing issues of fraud, deceit, and widespread mistreatment of employees by some agencies. It also sheds light on the duality of treatment in these agencies, with employers often treated with courtesy while employees seeking work faced harsh conditions. Despite these problems, the book recognizes the positive role that ethical employment agencies played in connecting employers with workers. By exposing both sides of the industry, the author calls for public awareness, regulatory improvement, and a greater sense of social responsibility to address these problems.
