QUESTIONS.
1. Tabulate and chart the changes that have taken place in our
immigration in regard to (1) amount, (2) character. What problems are
presented by these facts? Stat. Abst.
2. Explain the terms "the new immigration" and "the old immigration,"
and give the important statistical facts regarding them.
3. Show the application of the doctrine of population to the present
problem of immigration and wages in America.
4. Do the figures on immigration show anything as to the need of
legislation restricting immigration?
5. What has been the effect of the recent immigration into the United
States upon the use of machinery?
6. Apply the theory of wages to explain the effect of present
immigration on the wages of unskilled or slightly skilled workers.
7. If the supply of labor of any class were to be decreased ten per
cent., would wages rise in like proportion?
8. Is immigration now adding to the general welfare in the United
States? State the facts and general economic principles on which you
base your answer.
9. If there is an immigration of half a million workers annually into
a country for a period of ten years--during which no new natural
resources are made available, would wages in that country be affected?
If so, of what classes of workers? What would be the effect on the
amount of income received by land owners?
10. Explain how the general principles of price-determination hold in
the determination of wages. Show how these principles apply when there
is extensive employment of southern and eastern Europeans. (See Source
Book.)
