The same fact may be illustrated in two other ways. In Washington,
Richmond, Atlanta, Memphis, and Nashville,—the five cities having the
largest number of domestic employees in proportion to the population,—the
domestic employees constitute in each city more than fourteen per cent
of the entire number of persons engaged in all gainful occupations.
In these five cities more than one third of all women engaged in
remunerative occupations are in domestic service. On the other hand,
in Camden, Trenton, Lowell, Paterson, and Fall River,—the five cities
having the smallest number of domestic employees in proportion to the
population,—the per cent of domestic employees with reference to the
total number of persons engaged in all gainful occupations is less than
seven, while in Lowell and Paterson only ten per cent and in Fall River
only seven per cent of all women engaged in remunerative occupations are
in domestic service. The following table will show these contrasts:
