In the total industry 7.3 per cent of the foreign-born employees report 1 or more visits abroad. In New York City the proportion is 7.7 per cent, in Chicago it is 6.5 per cent, and in Baltimore it is 5.9 per cent. In the entire industry the South Italians show the largest proportion as having made visits abroad, and are closely followed by the North Italians. Both in Chicago and in New York City the North Italians show the largest proportion who have made visits abroad, and are closely followed by the South Italians. The Hebrews show in all 3 localities a proportion less than 5 per cent.

TABLE 80.—Per cent of persons within each age group, by sex and by general nativity and race of head of household-Continued.

Out of a total of 4,680 persons reporting, nearly 60 per cent are over 14 years of age, while slightly less than 40 per cent are between the ages of 20 and 44. The native-born of foreign father, when compared with the foreign-born, predominate under the age of 13, but in every age group above that, excepting the one from 20 to 29, the foreign-born show the largest proportion.

The proportion of foreign-born males under 13 is smaller than the proportion of native-born of foreign father in the same age group, but in the periods of from 14 to 19 years the foreign-born proportion exceeds. Of the foreign-born males, 20.2 per cent are under 6, the Bohemians and Moravians, with 15.1 per cent, showing the smallest proportion in this age group. The Poles show 16 per cent from 6 to 13 years, the South Italians and Lithuanians less than 16 per cent each, while nearly 25 per cent each of the Bohemians and Moravians and Hebrews are in this age group. In the 30 to 44 year period, the Poles show the highest proportion, while in the period of 45 years or over, the Bohemians and Moravians show the largest proportions and the Lithuanians the smallest.

Referring to the tabulation for the female persons studied, it will be seen that the native-born of foreign father show a larger proportion of children under 6 years than do the foreign-born, while from 6 to 20 years the foreign-born proportion is larger in each group.

The Lithuanians show the largest proportion of females under 6 years of age, and the Bohemians and Moravians the smallest. The Bohemians and Moravians show the highest proportions in the period from 6 to 13 years, followed by the Poles and Hebrews. Among those who are from 20 to 29 years, the Lithuanians show the largest proportion and the Bohemians and Moravians the smallest. Less than 10 per cent each of the Hebrew, South Italian, Lithuanian, and Polish females are 45 years of age or over, while the Bohemians and Moravians show a proportion of 11.5 per cent.

TABLE 81.-Per cent of employees within each age group, by sex and general nativity and race-Continued.

From the data presented in the above table it appears that 13 per cent of male employees for whom information was secured are from 14 to 19 years of age, that 23.8 per cent are from 20 to 24 years of age, that 18.9 per cent are from 25 to 29 years of age, that 12.9 per cent are from 30 to 34 years of age, that 19.2 per cent are from 35 to 44 years of age and that only 3 per cent are 55 or over. The proportion of male employees from 14 to 19 years of age is much larger for the whites, native-born of native father and for the native-born of foreign father than for the foreign-born; and the proportion of male employees from 25 to 34 years of age is considerably larger for the foreign-born than for either the native-born of native father or the native-born of foreign father. Among the foreign-born the Roumanians and Poles have the largest proportions for males from 20 to 24 years of age, the North Italians, Lithuanians, and Slovaks the largest proportions from 25 to 29 years of age, and the Lithuanians and Roumanians the largest proportions for male employees from 30 to 34 years of age.

Of the females for whom information was secured 45.3 per cent are from 14 to 19 years of age, 28.9 per cent are from 20 to 24 years of age, 10.3 per cent are from 25 to 29 years of age, and only small proportions are included in the other age groups specified. The proportion of female employees from 14 to 19 years of age is largest for the native-born of foreign father, second largest for the foreign-born, and smallest for the whites native-born of native father, while the proportion of female employees from 20 to 24 years of age is largest for the foreign-born, second largest for the native-born of foreign father, and

smallest for the native-born of native father. Among the foreign-born the Russian Hebrews and the Roumanians have the largest and the Germans the smallest proportions for females from 14 to 19 years of age and the Roumanians and Lithuanians have the largest and the North Italians the smallest proportions from 20 to 24 years of age.

The above table shows that of the employees, both male and female, for whom information was secured, only a fraction of 1 per cent are under 14 years of age, 27.6 per cent are from 14 to 19, 26.1 per cent are from 20 to 24, 15 per cent are from 25 to 29, 9.2 per cent are from 30 to 34, 13.7 per cent are from 35 to 44, 6.3 per cent are from 45 to 54, and only 1.9 per cent are 55 or over. The proportion of individuals from 14 to 19 years of age is largest for the native-born of foreign father, second largest for the whites native-born of native father, and smallest for the foreign-born; the proportion of individuals from 25 to 29 years of age is largest for the foreign-born, second largest for the whites native-born of native father, and smallest for the native-born of foreign father. Among the foreign-born, the Roumanians, North Italians, Russians, and Russian Hebrews have the largest proportions for individuals from 14 to 19 years of age, the Roumanians and Poles the largest proportions for individuals from 20 to 24 years of age, and the Lithuanians, Slovaks, and North Italians the largest proportions for individuals from 25 to 29 years of age.
