Average Rates of Wages.

The average rates of wages in each provincial district of the colony are shown in the table next following, and will be found to afford sufficient evidence of satisfactory remuneration for all classes of labour. This table of wages is taken from the hand-book for 1892, published by the New Zealand Government, and was prepared after careful enquiry in the various districts. It must be borne in mind, however, that wages are always subject to fluctuations from various causes, and the rates given must therefore be only taken as approximately correct:—
