I think I did one once. It was largely based on the table in GURPS:Space.

Was it at all realistic, or was it based pretty closely on G:Space?
For that matter, has anyone made up realistic job tables for _any_
setting? I'd like to see 'em.

Table but a list of actual wages paid/earned during the 1860-1880 period. I
then adopted the exiting Job's Table from Old West and replaced the wages
with my amount. I did a lot of research here and have used it for 2 Old West
games. If you are interested in a copy just let me know.

Here's one, which I made from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics
tables of "1996 Employment by major occupational group", at their
website <http://stats.bls.gov/emptab0.htm>. Enjoy.

Cool, yeah - a friend of mine runs a lot of Old/Weird/Wild West stuff,
and I'm just plain curious.
I suspect more people than just I would be interested (hence the post) -
if you can/wish to post it or put it up on the web somewhere, that'd be
cool - thanks.

I'd like to _think_ that the job table I created for my N'Ferra game is
realistic, even if the setting isn't. You can find it at
