to nonrespondents and to those respondents rep o rtin g unusual changes

O ccupational em ploym ent and earnings data a re shown fo r

A v e r a g e w e e k ly earnings fo r these occupations have

having fe w e r than a p re s c r ib e d num ber o f w o rk e rs are om itted because
they tend to furnish in su fficien t em ploym ent in the occupations studied

Such shifts in em ploym ent could d e c re a s e an occupational a vera g e even
