The wages of a journeyman printer, or experienced worker in any of the different branches, vary from $20 to $40 a week, according to the skill required in the process, and individual skill and experience. Foremen and mechanics earn from $40 to $50 a week. In New York City, and in other large cities where there is a great demand for skilled printers, the union scale for compositors is $50 a week, and shops pay even more for men of ability. A printer with initiative and business ability can start out in his own establishment more profitably than in many other trades.
