The Negro at Work in New York City: A Study in Economic Progress

Published in the early 20th century, 'The Negro at Work in New York City: A Study in Economic Progress' by George Edmund Haynes examines the socio-economic conditions of African Americans in New York City amid significant urban migration and industrial growth. Haynes analyzes the factors driving this migration, the roles of African Americans in the labor market, and their experiences in business and professional sectors. The study highlights the economic dynamics post-Civil War and emphasizes the need for comprehensive data to understand the progress and challenges faced by Negro wage-earners in urban society.
