Excerpt from Second Annual Report of the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the State of North Carolina: For the Year 1888 Dear Sir: - In compliance with the law creating the Bureau of Labor Statistics, I herewith submit to you and the General Assembly the Second Annual Report of this department for the year 1888. The subjects embraced in this Report are contained in six chapters, as follows; Chapter I. - Reports from Mechanics. Chapter II. - Reports from Mechanical and other Employers. Chapter III. - Apprentices. Chapter IV. - Manual and Technical Training. Chapter V. - Public Roads. Chapter VI. Agricultural Statistics. Chapter I is devoted to reports from mechanics in reply to inquiries in reference to their wages, hours of labor, &c., and their educational, moral and financial condition. A large number of this class of correspondents have responded to our inquiries, and we have thought best to give what they have said in full. Their replies make a very extensive and interesting chapter - one presenting much valuable information, as well as opinions and suggestions as to what would benefit this class of our citizens and the producing classes of the State generally. Chapter II is from mechanical and other employers of labor. The reports made are in regard to capital employed, wages paid, articles produced by the business reported, and also information in reference to the condition of the employees in them. The purpose being to get employers to give facts and opinions in reference to their business affairs, (to be used in a general way, ) as well as information upon those points upon which employees expressed themselves in the previous chapter. It is hoped and believed that having these expressions from employers and employees coming together wilt prove a mutual benefit to both.

Excerpt from Tenth Annual Report of the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the State of North Carolina: For the Year 1896 Dear Sir: - Pursuant to the law creating the Bureau of Labor Statistics, I hereby transmit to Your Excellency the tenth annual report of this Bureau. As the law also requires that the Commissioner shall recommend to the Legislature what "he may deem calculated to promote the efficiency of the Bureau," I respectfully submit the following: First. - That a law be passed limiting the length of a working day to eleven hours. Second. - That no child under twelve years of age be allowed to work in any building, and those between twelve and fourteen only when they have a certificate showing that they have been of school at least three months during the preceding year. A penalty should be attached to the violation of these laws, and the Commissioner should be empowered to see that the law is lived up to. Third. - As this is the only tangible connection the laboring man has with the Government, and as it is peculiarly his own, his representative should be treated as the heads of other Departments are; therefore his salary should be increased to $2,000, on a par with the Railroad Commission, and $5,000 should be appropriated to prosecute this most needed work. I am glad to say that the influence of the Bureau is being felt for good, and that the ministers and educators are taking a great interest in its success.
