The impact of female employment on male salaries and careers
The late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century British labour market experienced an influx of female clerical workers. Employers argued that female employment increased opportunities for men to advance; however, most male clerks regarded this expansion of the labour supply as a threat to their pay and status. This article examines the effects of female employment on male clerks using data from Williams Deacon's Bank covering a period 25 years p…
Nominal wage rigidity prior to compulsory arbitration
Did firms cut nominal wages in a deflationary environment
Internal Labour Markets
This paper examines internal labour markets in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century using personnel records from the Union Bank of Australia and the Victorian Railways. Both employers hired young workers and offered them the possibility of very‐long‐term employment. Salaries were determined by impersonal rules, such as being attached to tenure and to position. Workers rarely received nominal pay cuts. This approach to human resources w…
Labour unionism in the financial services sector
Work in the Financial Services Industry and Worker Monitoring
This paper explores a part of the systems used by the British-owned Union Bank of Australia in managing its labour force in the 1920s.

Workers could behave opportunisticall…
