NO TE: Table 3 provides percents of change in av erage hourly earn ings for selected
occupational groups, adjusted to exclude the effect of employment sh ifts. The new method
for computing wage trends is b ase d on changes in av erage hourly earn ings for establish m en ts
reporting the index jobs in both the curren t and previous year (m atched e stablish m en ts),
holding establishm ent employment in the jobs constant.
The new wage trends a re not linked to the curren t indexes becau se the new wage
tren ds m ea su re changes in m atched establishm ent a v e ra g e s w hereas the curren t indexes
m ea su re changes in a re a a v e r a g e s . Other c h a ra c te ris tic s of the new wage trends which
d iffer from the cu rren t ones include (1) earn ings data of office c le r ic a l w orkers and in du strial
n u rse s a re converted to an hourly b a s i s , and (2) trend e stim a te s a re provided for non­
m anufacturing e stablish m en ts.
F o r a m ore detailed d escrip tion of the new method used to compute a re a wage survey
