Wage Laborer

Famous quotes containing the words wage and/or laborer:

“Most women without children spend much more time than men on housework; with children, they devote more time to both housework and child care. Just as there is a wage gap between men and women in the workplace, there is a “leisure gap” between them at home. Most women work one shift at the office or factory and a “second shift” at home.”
—Arlie Hochschild (20th century)

“If the laborer gets no more than the wages which his employer pays him, he is cheated, he cheats himself.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
