Chief child labor inspector statistical reports, 1939-1940.

This series consists of annual and monthly statistical reports of Daisy Donovan, Chief Child Labor Inspector. The bulk of the series consists of monthly reports, which generally give a daily account of Donovan's travels, a list of the types of industries inspected by Donovan and other unit staff members, the total number of field visits conducted, the types and numbers of violations discovered and the total number of miles travelled by the inspectors. Some reports also contain special notes relating to the work of the child labor inspectors. Also included in the series are annual reports, 1938 Sept. 1 - 1939 Oct. 1. These reports contain annual computations of information similar to that found in the monthly reports. Additionally, there is an annual report of certificates issued to children 14-17 years of age. This report analyzes the educational status, occupation entered, the type of evidence of age accepted (birth record, parent's affidavit, insurance policy, etc.), and the reasons for going to work. The annual reports reflect work done in the Dept. of Labor before its absorption into the Dept. of Industrial Relations in 1939 Mar.
