iron and steel manufacturing improved steadily
in relation to that of the average factory
worker.
The differential between gross aver
age hourly earnings for all manufa ct ur in g
production workers and those in the primary
iron and steel industry was 22 cents in 1950,
placing earnings of steelworkers 15 percent
above the manufacturing average. (See table.)
By 1957, the absolute difference had expanded
to 61 cents, which represented an advantage
of 30 percent,

twice that of 7 years earlier.

The net gain in earnings per hour of the
production worker in primary iron and steel
amounted to 99 cents from 1950 to 1957.

so great an absolute increase in earnings,

2J Average hourly earnings, excluding overtime, are not available separately for the printing, publishing, and
allied industries group, as graduated overtime rates are found to an extent likely to make average overtime pay
significantly above time and one-half.
Inclusion of data for the group in the nondurable-goods total has little
effect.
