If you took shorthand at 150 wpm, typed 50 wpm, and had 98% accuracy you could make $24 a week.
I think those were the typewriters that were hard to type on, so 50 wpm would be 100 wpm today, I think.

Later in the year was an article about lady stenographers. It didn't say what men made in this short article.  |

From a 1904 Shorthand magazine. If you want, you can search her boss, Henry Huttleston Rogers.  |

Constructive Dictation, by Edward Hall Gardner, 1919, had an ending about Civil Service jobs. It said, "Many of the government employees, both men and women, receive from two thousand to three thousand dollars a year after a few years of service." (Page 341)
