Seasonal variation in production, household composition and earnings in cottage manufacture
This article uses a unique data set to focus on women weavers in mid-19th century Britain. Records from John Murgatroyd and Sons, worsted manufacturers, focus on women weavers in the Halifax, Yorkshire area. Data are consistent with the hypothesis that cottage industry allowed workers to leave their weaving tasks during the peak labor season in agriculture, contributing to the persistence of putting out when the industrial revolution was underway…
Machinery Has Completely Taken Over
Hand picking of cotton in the United States virtually disappeared twenty years after the first mechanical harvester was marketed in 1949. Contrary to received accounts, southern social institutions did not impede the diffusion of the mechanical cotton picker from the West to the cotton belt in the South so much as environmental factors and educational attainment did. Rising cotton yields and exogenous technological change drove diffusion by reduc…
Labor Markets, Regional Diversity, and Cotton Harvest Mechanization in the Post-World War II United States
As hand-harvest labor disappeared from the American cotton fields after World War II, labor market dynamics differed between two key production regions, the South and the West. In the South, predominantly resident African Americans and whites harvested cotton, whereas in the West the labor market was composed of white residents, domestic Latino migrant workers, and Mexican nationals temporarily immigrating under the sponsorship of the U.S. govern…

Better Opportunities or Worse? The Demise of Cotton Harvest Labor, 1949–1964
Following World War II millions of cotton workers, especially African-Americans, left the fields forever, and farmers mechanized the cotton harvest. Prevailing empirical studies argue that high factory wages lured farmhands away. Based on newly reconstructed data, we estimate the causes of the demise of harvest employment in 12 major cotton-producing states from 1949–1964 and find important roles for mechanization, government farm programs, highe…
One Step Forward
The labor-force participation of African-American married women in the southern United States was increasing during a period of deteriorating labor markets when that of African-American men was decreasing. Although the effect of this development on the African-American family was complex, the trend was certainly a sign of limited progress for these women. The jobs that they were able to acquire were generally better than their customary work sinc…
Southern Tenancy, Machines, and Production Scale on the Eve of the Cotton Picker’s Arrival
A fundamental characteristic of the southern United States before World War II was the separate, and lagging, economic path taken by that region relative to the rest of the nation. The South was particularly slow to advance in agricultural science and technology. Both contemporary investigators and recent scholarship have indicted southern institutions for delaying development in southern agriculture (Street 1957; Whatley 1985, 1987). Were sharec…
