NOTE: Table 3 provides p ercen ts of change in a verage hourly earn ings for selected
occupational groups, adjusted to exclude the effect of employment sh ifts. The new method
fo r computing wage trends is b a se d on changes in av erage hourly earn ings for establish m ents
reporting the index jo b s in both the curren t and previous y e ar (matched e stablish m en ts),
holding establishm ent employment in the jobs constant.
The new wage trends a re not linked to the current indexes becau se the new wage trends
m easu re changes in m atched establishm ent a v e ra g e s w hereas the curren t indexes m easu re
changes in a re a a v e ra g e s. Other c h a ra c te ristic s of the new wage tren ds which d iffer from
the current ones include (1) earnings data of office c le r ic a l w ork ers and in d u strial n u rse s
a re converted to an hourly b a s is , and (2) tren d e stim a te s a re provided for nonmanufacturing
