ART. 118. Wage Studies — (a) The Wage Commission in the Department of Labor shall conduct a continuing study of wage rates in the various agricultural and non-agricultural industries all over the country for the purpose of ascertaining whether a substantial number of employees in a given industry arc receiving wages which, although complying with the minimum provided for in this Title, are less than sufficient to maintain them in health, efficiency and general well-being, taking into account the peculiar circumstances of the industry and its geographical location, among others. If after such study or studies the Commission is of the opinion that such number of employees arc receiving such wages, it shall, subject to the approval of the Secretary of Labor, proceed to determine the same after notice and hearing.
