Table X appeared in Chapter 10 in a discussion of the sometimes low financial reward for working in state government. One particular example was in when the listed pay of each class of workers in Vermont's work force was lowered from eight percent to twenty percent. The General Assembly did so in 1933 as a response to loss of revenues. Since the bulk of employees were in the middle brackets, the hardships entailed by the reduction of salaries proved to be too drastic. In 1935, the employee salaries were raised by fifty percent of the 1933 decrease.
