1 Standard hours reflect the wo rk w e e k for which employees receive their regular straight-time salaries (exclusive of pay for overtime at regular and/or p r e m i u m rates), and the earnings correspond
to these weekly hours.
2 The m e a n is computed for each job by totaling the earnings of all workers and dividing by the n u m b e r of workers.
The me di an designates position— half of the employees surveyed receive m o r e
than the rate shown; half receive less than the rate shown.
The middle range is defined by 2 rates of pay; a fourth of the workers earn less than the lower of these rates and a fourth earn m o r e than
the higher rate.
* Transportation, communication, and other public utilities.
4 M a y include workers other than those presented separately.
5 Workers were distributed as follows: 13 at $45 to $50; 68 at $50 to $55; and 17 at $55 to $60.
