Standard hours reflect the w o r k 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.
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.
Th e 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.
Th e 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.
3 Transportation, communication, and other public utilities.
4 M a y include workers other than those presented separately.
