Woodworking in New Zealand.

The statistics for New Zealand show that there are in the colony 334 sawmills, sash and door factories employing 6,812 hands, who receive in wages 888. The cost of manufacture is a dominant feature with regard to output in work of this character. It is therefore not surprising to find that the value of the manufactured products amount to or roughly two and a half times the wages paid, as against twenty times the value of the wages paid in the meat freezing and preserving works. The capital invested in these factories amounts to £703,620.
