Time studies of women workers, workers for lunch service at primary schools, office girls, and keypunchers, were carried out in order to evaluate the difference of load in their work for 5 days from Monday to Friday. In the comparative studies among these different jobs, the motion of labor of the workers were surveyed and analysed every 30 seconds. The homelife and hours of sleep of the workers were investigated with a questionnaire to each worker every day. The results obtained are summarized as follows: (1) Such work as keypunching or office work was classified as mental work with light physical work, while the school lunch work was classified as light work, as evaluated by E.M.R. in terms of muscular labor. (2) Working hours of the workers for lunch service at primary schools, especially at schools located in the urban districts, were shorter than those of the other two. And also, hours of the actual labor of the workers for lunch service at rural schools were about an hour longer than those of the workers at urban schools. It was probably due to lack of dishwashing equipments in the cooking room of rural schools. (3) In actual working hours of the workers, there was considerable difference between keypunchers and the other two kinds of workers. The actual working hours of keypunchers were daily variable, for instance, the lowest value of their actual working hours was only 27.4 percent of their total working hours. (4) The rest time at home of the workers for lunch service was comparatively shorter than that of the other two kinds of workers. This is due to the difference of hours spent for domestic work among these three kinds of workers. The hours of sleep showed no significant difference among these three kinds of workers.
