Abstract
In the third article of this series dealing with aspects of wage payments and employment in retail distribution the authors look at the problems of low pay in this sector. Despite increases this remains well below average, in 1972, for example, only the median weekly earnings of kitchen‐hands, hairdressers and barmaids were lower than that of saleswomen. This research has been funded by the Social Science Research Council.
