Here's how General Electric's
Increased production and ef
ficiency have affected G-E
workers. Average hourly
earnings for men, not includ
ing overtime pay, have gone
up as follows:
1938 $ .73
1 937-"""""""""'" 8 1
1938 .87
1939 .86
1940 .85
1941 89
1942 .98
1943 1.05
1944 1.09
1945 (Sept.) 1.09
Overtime pay gave G-E work'
era more on top of this. G.E.
has made jobs for nearly three
times as many. 61,781 worked
for G.E. nine years ago.
In 1945 an average of 145,
000 had jobs at G.E. and at
much higher pay.
G.E. has an obligation to a
second group of people the
public. The public wants im
proved products at fair prices.
"More goods for more peo
ple at less cost" G.E.'s goal
is not a part-time assign
ment. It is a job for manage
ment and worker alike if G.E.
is to keep growing, keep rais
ing wages, keep making more
jobs for more workers.
A few figures show typical
price decreases:

G. E. during the war earned
4.71 on each dollar of sales.
Of this, 4.1)! was paid to its
more than 200,000 stock
holders and the remaining six
tenths of a cent on each dol
lar was retained in the busi
ness to assist in carrying on
and expanding its operations.
All money earned over this
4.7 was turned back to tha
U. S. Government. G-E cost
saving methods had made
war goods for less money than
the Government expected.
These dividends have been
declared per share of common
stock since 1936:
