S. Departtent of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics begins publication of hourly earn ings excluding preaiua overtime pay for each of 20 aajor n a n u f a cturing industry groups. Siailar data have previously been available only for Manufacturing, durable goods, and nondurable goods. Nov, as a result of regu lar collection of overtiae hours statistics, industry group data are available froa January 1956 forward. The series assuaes that overtiae hours are paid at the rate of tiae and one-half; no a d j u s t a e n t is aade for other preaiua payaents, such as shift differentials, holiday work, and overtiae at rates other than tiae and o ne-half (e.g., any overtiae work paid at double tiae would be treated as if it were paid at tiae and one-half). The table was based on an analysis of the hours of work in aore than 100 aanufacturing industries for which BLS data were available. Total average weekly hours per eaployee and average weekly overtiae hours were deterained for each industry, and the relationship at v arious levels of w e ekly hours produced a aatheaatical foraula that could be used to estiaate the probable nuaberof overtiae hours for any given workweek. Further calculation produced the correction necessary to eliainate preaiua overtiae pay at the rate of tiae and one-half. The table then provided the percent of earnings estiaated to be straight tiae for each tenth of an hour of weekly hours. Earnings excluding overtiae preaiua pay have been prepared by use of the table for aanufacturing, durable goods, and nondurable goods since 1941. Earnings Excluding Overtiae a Vorld War II Development Factors Reliable for Total Manufacturing Straight-tiae earnings statistics for aanufacturing were developed early in World War II to provide a measurement of the trend of basic wage rates (as distinguished froa earn ings) during the war period. In 1947, the Bureau again collected inforaation on overtiae hours and earnings as well as total hours and gross earnings froa about 2,000 aanufacturing e s t a blishments. A c o m parison of actual earnings excluding overtiae preaiua and earnings coaputed by use of the table proved the adjustaent factors reliable for total aanufacturing and for durable and nondurable goods. Statistics had been collected relating to the averag e h o urly ear n i n g s of p r o d u c t i o n workers in various industries and areas. Most of the available aaterial, however, reflected the influence of o v e r t i a e work at p r e a i u a rates. Inclusion of this extra coapensation prevented coaparisons between groups of workers w ho aight be w o r k i n g d i f f e r e n t aao u n t s of overtiae and also prevented accurate aeasure aent of wage rate changes froa one period to another. In response to increased interest wage rates, the Bureau prepared a adjustaent factors which peraitted tion of preaiua overtiae payaents on aated basis. When applied to individual industry groups, the adjustaent factors were less successful. In general, they tended to take out too auch overtiae for aost industries averaging about 40 hours a week and for industries exeapt froa the overtiae p r o v i s i o n s of the Fair Labor Standards Act. Conversely, the factors reaoved too little overtime froa soie industries, such as apparel, in which overtiae rates are often paid after 35 hours. in basic table of eliainaan esti- iii Table 1.

Miscellaneous manufacturing 1/ Derived by assuming that the overtime hours shown in table 4 are paid for at the rate of time and one-half. 2 / Data 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 industry in the nondurablegoods total has little effect. N O T E . — Current data are shown in table C-4. v Overtime Honrs Are Now Collected Monthly January 1957, registering an increase of 1 or 2 cents in alaost every aonth (table 1). In dividually, nearly all of the industry groups showed a parallel trend. This can be expected in a period of rising wage rates, with each industry following the general trend to e n able it to coapete for workers. When there is a strong upward aoveaent, rates in the var ious industries Bay increase aore or less than average, but seldoB decline. In January 1956, the Bureau began collect ing data on overtiae hours froa aanufacturing eaployers as part of its regular eaployaent statistics prograa, and consequently no longer needs to rely on the table of adjustment fac tors to separate overtiae froa straight-time hours. The overtiae hours reported are those hours in excess of noraal scheduled hours for which preaiua rates are paid. T h ese data, available by industry, also perait computation of overtiae earnings and earnings excluding preaiua overtiae pay by industry. Increases froa January 1956 through January 1957 rang e d froB 7 cents in f u r n i t u r e and rubber to 18 cents in petroleua. The textile industry, although it has been undergoing d i f ficulties for soae tiae, showed an 8-cent rise. Data for aanufacturing and durable and non durable goods have been revised back to January 1956, using the regularly collected data in stead of the foraula. Since the differences were found to be insignificant at these in dustry levels, 1956 data on the new basis are considered coaparable with data back to 1941. Earnings excluding preaiua overtiae are not available for individual industry groups prior to January 1956. Hard-goods industries generally had larger increases than industries in the soft-goods segment. Ordnance had a 16-cent increase, followed by primary aetals with a 15-cent in crease and electrical aachinery with a rise Average Hourly Earnings, Excluding Premium Overtime, in Selected Industries Derivation of Data JANUARY 1956 - MARCH 1957 Average hourly earnings excluding overtiae are coaputed froa January 1956 forward by d i viding total production-worker payroll by the sua of total production-worker aan-hours and one-half of total overtiae aan-hours. (See glossary, pp. 7-E and 8-E. for definitions.) This Bethod eliminates the preaiua earnings due to overtiae paid for at one and one-half tiaes the straight-tiae rates.

Except for petroleum (18 cents), earnings excluding overtime in nondurablegoods industries rose 12 cents or less over the year. Seasonal Factors Evident in a Few Industries Three industries— food, tobacco, and lumber— show the influences of seasonal factors in the trend of earnings. Both food and tobacco expand employment in late summer and Table 2. early fall by hiring large numbers of temporary, relatively lower paid workers. Earnings excluding overtime for these industries were lower during the third quarter of 1956, rising sharply in the last quarter as seasonal workers quit or were laid off. In the lumber industry (see chart), summer brings expanded employment in the North and Northwest where wage rates are higher than in other parts of the country.

Overtime Adds About 7 Cents Per Hour On the a l l - m a n u f a c t u r i n g level, hourly earnings excluding overtime averaged about 7 cents below the gross figure of $1.98 in 1956. The d i f f e r e n c e b e t w e e n gross ear n i n g s and earnings wit h o u t o v e r t i m e p r e m i u m pay was slightly greater in the durable-goods sector where more overtime was worked per week; dur able-goods indu s t r i e s a v e r a g e d 3 hours of overtime w e e k l y in 1956, while nondur a ble goods averaged 2-3$ (table 2). For the hardgoods segment, o v e r t i m e added 7 cents per hour, as compared to 5 cents for soft goods. Among i n d i v i d u a l indust r i e s , overtime added as much as 10 cents an hour in the paper industry and as little as 2 cents in tobacco. Again, the wide range reflected the difference in amount of o v e r t i m e worked per week — 4# hours in paper and 1 hour in tobacco. Straight-Time Hours Obtainable by Subtraction Straight-time hours in manufacturing (aver age weekly hours minus overtime) averaged 37.6 NOTE.— Next month's issue of Employment time pay in American industry. and hours in 1956, and the maximum regular wor k week recorded was 39.1 hours. Since the 40-hour workweek has come to be regarded as standard, a few possible reasons for the seeming shortness of the actual week might be mentioned here: (1) Although many establishments in an in dustry may be working a 40-hour week plus sev eral hours of overtime, other establishments, for reasons either economic or traditional, may work fewer than 40 hours and have no over time. In this way, they tend to reduce both average overtime and average straight time. (2) Even within a plant where a 40-hour week plus overtime is scheduled, some workers, by order or for personal reasons, may work and be paid for less than 40 hours. Others may normally work only part time, or may have been hired on a temporary basis for only part of the week. (3) In some establishments overtime p a y ment may begin after 35 to 39 hours instead of 40, usually as a result of labor-management agreements. Provisions of this nature are es pecially prevalent in the apparel industry, where the straight-time workweek averaged 35.1 hours in 1956.

The statistics are an integral part of the Federal statistical system, and are considered basic indica tors of the state of the Nation 1s econoiijy. They are widely used in following and interpreting business developments and in making decisions in such fields as labor-management negotiations, marketing, personnel, plant location, and government policy. In addition, Government agencies use the data in this report to com pile official indexes of production, labor productivity, and national income. ESTABLISHM ENT REPORTS: N o t e s or engaging in more than one activity, the entire em pl oyant of the unit is included under the industry indicated by the most important product or activity. The titles and descriptions of industries presented In the Standard Industrial CJ as«rl fl «*1 M m »« i - (u. S. Bureau of the Budget, Washington, D. C.) are used for classifying reports from manufacturing and government establishments; the 1942 ifodtretaka„CJjff9gifisatioR Code. (U. S. Social Security Board) for reports from all other establishments. c. Coverage Monthly reports on employment and, for most indus tries, payroll and man-hours are obtained from approx imately 155,000 establishments. (See table below.) The table also shows the approximate proportion of total employment in each industry division covered by the group of establishments furnishing monthly employment data. The coverage for individual industries within the division may vary from the proportions shown. Approximate size and coverage of B L S a. Collection The employment statistics program, which is based on establishment payroll reports, provides current data for both full- and part-time workers on payrolls of nonagricultural establishments (see glossary for defi nition, p. 7-^3) during a specified period each month« The BLS uses two "shuttle1* schedules for this program, the BLS Form 790 (for employment, payroll, and manhours data) and the Form 1219 (for labor turnover data). The shuttle schedule, used by BLS for more than 25 years, is designed to assist firms to report consist ently, accurately, and with a minimum of cost* The questionnaire provides space for the establishment to report for each month of the current calendar year 5 in this way, the employer uses the same schedule for the entire year. Under a cooperative arrangement with the BLS, State agencies mail the forms to the establishments and examine the returns for consistency, accuracy, and completeness. The States use the information to prepare State and area series and then send the data to the BLS Division of Manpower and Employment Statistics for use in preparing the national series. b. Industrial Classification Establishments are classified into industries on the basis of their principal product or activity determined from information on annual sales volume. This informa tion is collected each year. For manufacturing estab lishments, a product supplement to the monthly 790 report is used. The supplement provides for reporting the percentage of total sales represented by each pro duct. Information for nonmanufacturing establish ments is collected on the 790 form itself.

Therefore, hours and earnings estimates may be based on a slightly smaller sample than employ ment estimates. Labor turnover reports are received from approx imately 10,000 cooperating establishments in the manu facturing, mining, and coinanlcation industries (see table below)* The definition of manufacturing used in the turnover series is not as extensive as in the BLS series on employment and hours and earnings because of the exclusion of the following major industries from the labor turnover sample: printing, publishing, and allied industries (since April 1943); cannix^ and pre serving fruits, vegetables, and sea foods; women's and misses * outerwear; and fertilizer.

Employment data for all except Federal Government establishments refer to persons who worked during, or received pay for, any part of the pay period ending nearest the 15th of the month. For Federal Government establishments current data generally refer to persons who worked on, or received pay for, the last day of the month* Persons on an establishment payroll who are on paid sick leave, paid holiday, or paid vacation, or who work during a part of the specified pay period and are un employed or on strike during the other part of the period are counted as employed* Persons are not con sidered employed who are laid off or are on leave with out pay, who are on strike for the entire period, or who are hired but do not report to work during the period. Proprietors, the self-employed, unpaid family workers, farm workers, and domestic workers in house holds are also excluded. Government employment covers only civilian employees; Federal military personnel are shown separately, but their number is excluded from total nonagrlcultural employment* With respect to employment in educational institu tions (private and governmental), BLS considers regular full-time teachers to be employed during the summer vacation period whether or not they are specifically paid in those months. Bftwchnwrir Put* Employment estimates are periodically compared with complete counts of employment in the various nonagri- cultural industries, and appropriate adjustments made as Indioated by the total oounts or benchmarks. The co^jarison made for the first 3 months of 1956 resulted In changes amounting to 0.5 percent of all nonsgricultural e^loyment, as against 0*8 percent in the first quarter 1955 benchmark adjustment. Changes ranged from 0.1 to 2,1 percent for 6 of the 8 major industry divi sions; for the other 2, servioe and miscellaneous industries required sa adjustment of 3*4 percent, con tract construction 4*3 percent. The manufacturing total was changed by only 0,1 percent* Within manu facturing the benchmark and estimate differed by 1*0 percent or less in 53 of the 132 iadiTldiisd industries, 39 industries were adjusted by 1*1 to 2*5 percent, and an additions! 22 iadnstries differed by 2,6 to 5*0 per cent. Okie significant esnee of differences between the benchmark sad estimate is the change in industrial classification of individual firms, which cannot be reflected in BLS eetlmates until they are adjusted to new benchmarks. Other censes are sanpHing and response errors. The basic sources of benchmark information are the quarterly tabulations of employment data, by industry, compiled by State agencies from reports of establish ments covered under State unemployment insurance laws. Supplementary tabulations prepared by the TJ. S. Bureau of Old Age and Survivors Insurance are used for the group of establishments exempt from State unem ployment insurance laws because of their small size. Benchmarks for industries wholly or partly excluded from the unemployment insurance laws are derived from a variety of other sources* The BLS estimates which are prepared for the benchmark quarter are compared with the new benchmark levels, industry b y industry. Where revisions are necessary, the monthly estimates are adjusted between the new benchmark and the preceding one. Following revision for these intermediate periods, the industry data from the most recent benchmark are projected to the current month by use of the sample trends. Uhder this procedure, the benchmark is used to establish the level of employment while the sample is used to measure the month-to-month changes in the level* The estimating procedure for industries for which data on both "all employees”and "production and re lated workers" are published (manufacturing and selected mining industries) is outlined below; the first step under this method is also used for indus tries for which only figures on "all employees*1 are published. The first step is to compute total employment (all employees) in the industry for the month following the benchmark period. The all-employee total for the last benchmark month (e.g., March) is multiplied b y the percent change of total employment over the month for the group of establishments reporting for both March and April* Thus, if finas in the BLS sample for an industry report 30,000 employees in ffarch and 31,200 in April, April employment is 104 percent (31,200 divided by 30,000) of March employment* If the all employee benchmark in terch is 40,000, the all-employee total in April would be 104 percent of 40,000 or 41 ,600. The second step is to compute the productionworker total for the industry. The all-employee total for the month is multiplied by the ratio of production workers to all employees« This ratio is confuted from establishment reports in the monthly sample. Thus, if these firms in April report 24,960 production workers and a total of 31#200 employees, the ratio of produc tion workers to all employees would be «80 (24,960 divided by 31,200)« The production-warker total in April would be 33,280 (41,600 maltiplied by «80). Figures for subsequent months are computed by carrying forward the totals for the previous month ac cording to the method described above« The number of women employees in manufacturing, published quarterly, is computed by multiplying the all-employee estimate for the industry by the ratio of women to all employees as reported in the industry sanple« Employment Adjusted for Seasonal Variation Employment series for many industries reflect a regularly recurring seasonal movement, which can be measured on the basis of past experience« By elimi nating that part of the change in employment which can be ascribeji to usual seasonal variation, it is pos sible to clarify the cyclical and other nonseasonal movements in the series« Adjusted employment aggre gates are shown and also indexes (1947-49 3 100) de rived from these aggregates* The indexes have the additional advantage of comparing the current sea sonally adjusted employment level with average e n j o y ment in the base period. With Othoi- M n w w t LABOR TURNOVER Definition "Labor turnover," as used in the BLS program, re fers to the gross movement of wage and salary workers into and out of employment status with respect to in dividual firms during a calendar month« This movement is subdivided into two broad types: accessions (new hires and rehires) an d ^separations (terminations of employment initiated b y either employer or employee)« Each type of action is cumulated for a calendar month and expressed as a rate per 100 employees« All em ployees, including executive, office, sales, other salaried personnel, and production workers, are cov ered by both the turnover movements and the employment base used in computing labor turnover rates. All groups of employees— full- and part-time, permanent, and temporary— are included« Transfers from one es tablishment to another within a company are not con sidered to be turnover items. Method of Computation To compute turnover rates for individual indus tries, the total number of each type of action (ac cessions, quits, etc«) reported for a calendar month by the sample establishments in each industry is first divided by the total number of employees reported by these establishments, who worked during, or received pay for, any part of the pay period ending nearest the 15th of that month« The result is nultiplied by 100 to obtain the turnover rate. IhM»*«. Employment data published by other government and private agencies may differ from BLS employment sta tistics because of differences in definition, souroes of information, methods of collection, classification, and estimation« BLS monthly figures are not directly comparable, for example, with the estimates of the Census Manthly Report on the Labor Force (Mttf). Census data are obtained by personal interviews with individual members of a snail sample of households and are designed to provide information on the work status of the whole population, classified by their demographic characteristics« The BLS, on the other hand, obtains data b y mail questionnaire which are based on the payroll records of business units, and prepares detailed statistics on the industrial and geographic distribution of employment and on hours of work and earnings« Since BLS employment figures are derived from establishment payroll records, persons who worked in more than one establishment during the reporting peri od will be counted more than once in the BLS series. By definition, proprietors, self-employed persons, domestic servants, and unpaid family workers are ex cluded from the BLS but not the MRIF series« Employment estimates compiled by the Bureau of the Census from its censuses and/or annual sample surveys of manufacturing establishments also differ from BLS employment statistics« Among the important reasons for lack of comparability are differences in indus tries covered, in the business units considered parts of an establishment, and in the industrial classifi cation of establishments« Similar differences exist between the BLS data and those in County Business Patterns published jointly by the U.S« Department of bommeree and the U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare« B. For example, in an industry sample, the total number of employees who worked during, or received pay for, the week of January 12-18 was reported as 25,498. During the period January 1-31 a total of 284 eiq>loyees in all reporting firms quit. The quit rate for the industry is: 284 x 100 « 1.1 25,498 To compute turnover rates for broader industrial categories, the rates for the component industries are weighted b y the estimated employment. Separate turnover rates for men and women are pub lished quarterly for 1 month in each quarter« Only accessions, quits, and total separations are publish ed« These rates are computed in the same manner as the all-employee rates; for example, the quit rate for women is obtained from an industry sample by dividing the number of women who quit during the month b y the number of women employees reported« Average monthly turnover rates for the year for all employees are computed b y dividing the sum of the monthly rates b y 12« Comparability with Earlier Data Labor turnover rates are available on a compara ble basis from January 1930 for manufacturing as a whole and from 1943 for two coal mining and two com munication industries« Rates for many individual in dustries and industry groups for the period prior to January 1950 are not comparable with those for the subsequent period because of a revision which in volved (1) the adoption of the Standard Industrial Classification (1945) code structure for manufactur ing industries, and (2) the Introduction of weighting in the computation of industry-group rates. Comparability with Employment Series l-bnth-to-month changes in total employment in man ufacturing industries reflected by labor turnover rates are not comparable with the changes shown in the Bureau's employment series for the following reasons: as absenteeism, labor turnover, part-time work, and stoppages cause average weekly hours to be lower than scheduled hours of work for an establishments. Group averages further reflect changes in the workweek of component industries. Average Overtime Hours (1) Accessions and separations are computed for the entire calendar-month; the em ployment reports, for the most part, refer to a 1-week pay period ending nearest the 15th of the month. (2) The turnover sample excludes certain in dustries (see under coverage, p. 2-E). (3) Flants on strike are not included in the turnover computations beginning with the month the strike starts through the month the workers return; the influence of such stoppages is reflected, however, in the employment figures. C. HOURS AND EARNINGS Definitions of production workers, nonsupervisory employees, payrolls, and man-hours from which hours and earnings data are derived are Included in the glossary, page 7 - E . Methods used to compute hours and earnings averages are described in summary of methods for computing national statistics, page 6-E. Gross Average Hourly and Weekly Earnings Average hourly earnings for manufacturing and nonmanufacturing industries are on a "gross” basis, i.e., they reflect not only changes in basic hourly and in centive wage rates, but also such variable factors as premium pay for overtime and late-shift work, and changes in output of workers paid on an incentive basis. Employment shifts between relatively high-paid and low-paid work and changes in workers* earnings in individual establishments also affect the general earnings averages. Averages for groups and divisions further reflect changes in average hourly earnings for individual industries. Averages of hourly earnings differ from wage rates. Earnings refer to the actual return to the worker for a stated period of time; rates are the amounts stipu lated for a given unit of work or time. However, the average earnings series does not measure the level of total labor costs on the part of the employer, since the following are excluded: irregular bonuses, ret roactive items, payments of various welfare benefits, payroll taxes paid by employers, and earnings for those employees not covered under the productionworker or nonsupervisory-employee definitions. Gross average weekly earnings are affected not only by changes in gross average hourly earnings, but also by changes in the length of the workweek, parttime work, stoppages for varying causes, labor turn over, and absenteeism. Average Weekly Hours The workweek information relates to average hours worked or paid for, and is somewhat different from standard or scheduled hours. Normally, such factors 4-E The overtime hours represent that portion of the gross average weekly hours which were in excess of reg ular hours and for which premium payments were made. If an employee works on a paid holiday at regular rates, receiving as total compensation his holiday pay plus straight-time pay for hours worked that day, no overtime hours would be reported. Since overtime hours are premium hours by defini tion, the gross weekly hours and overtime hours do not necessarily move in the same direction from month to month; for example, premiums may be paid for hours in excess of the straight-time workday although less than a full week is worked. Diverse trends on the industrygroup level may also be caused b y a marked change in gross hours for a component industry where little or no overtime was worked in both the previous and cur rent months. In addition, such factors as stoppages, absenteeism, and labor turnover may not have the same influence on overtime hours as on gross hours. Gross Average Weekly Earnings in Current and 19A7.-4 9 M l ara These series indicate changes in the level of weekly earnings before and after adjustment for changes in purchasing power as determined from the HLS Consumer Price Index. Met. .„gpenfeMLft Ayscgfig ..Weg&y gfimtijgg Net spendable average weekly earnings in current dollars are obtained by deducting Federal social se— curity and income taxes from gross weekly earnings. The amount of income tax liability depends on the number of dependents supported by the worker, as well as on the level of his gross income. To reflect these variables, net spendable earnings have been computed for two types of income receivers: (l) a worker with no dependents; and (2) a worker with three depend ents. The computations of net spendable earnings for both the factory worker with no dependents and the factory worker with three dependents are based upon the gross average weekly earnings for all production workers in manufacturing industries without regard to marital status, family composition, and total family income. Net spendable weekly earnings in 1947-49 dollars represent an approximate measure of changes in "real" net spendable weekly earnings. "Real" earnings are computed by dividing the current Consumer Price Index into the spendable earnings average for the current month. The resulting level of spendable earnings ex pressed in 1947-49 dollars is thus adjusted for changes in purchasing power since that base period. ly data summarized in the M-300 report of the Inter state Commerce Commission and relate to all employees who received pay during the month, except executives, officials, and staff assistants (ICC Group I). Gross average hourly earnings are computed b y dividing total compensation by total hours paid for. Average weekly hours are obtained by dividing the total number of hours paid for, reduced to a weekly basis, by the number of employees, as defined above. Gross average weekly earnings are derived by multiplying average weekly hours by average hourly earnings. Because hours and earnings data for manufacturing and other nonmanufacturing industries are based upon reports to the BLS which generally represent 1 weekly pay period ending nearest the 15th of the month, the data for railroad employees are not strictly comparable with other Industry information shewn in this publication. Avarag. Hwr»1v t t t m l w . ftraludlng f w « » . of Production Worker» «" thnnfkntnT-in» Average hourly earnings, excluding premium over-* tine pay, are computed by dividing the total ptroduction-^worker payroll for the industry group by the sum of total production-worker man-hours and one-half of total overtime man-hours, ftdor to January 1956, data were baaed on the application of adjustment factors to gross average hourly earnings (as described in the Monthly Labor Review, Ifay 1950, pp. 537-540; reprint available, Serial No. R. 2020). Both methods elimi nate only the earnings due to overtime paid for at one and one-half times the straight-time rates. No adjustment is made for other premium payment provi sions, for exanple— holiday work, late-shift work, and overtime rates other than time and one-half. Indexes o f Aggregate Weekly Han-Houra STATISTICS FOR STATES AND AREAS The indexes of aggregate weekly man-hours are pre pared by dividing the current month's aggregate by the monthly average for the 1947-49 period. These aggre gates represent the product of average weekly hours and employment. State and area employment, hours, and earnings statistics are collected and prepared by State agencies in cooperation with the BLS. These sta tistics are based on the same establishment reports used by the BLS for preparing national estimates. State enploymant series are adjusted to benchmark data from State unemployment insurance agencies and the Bureau of COLd Age and Survivors Insurance. Because some States have more recent benchmarks than others and use slightly varying methods of computation, the sum of the State figures may differ slightly from the official U. S. totals prepared by the BLS. The aggregate man-hours are defined as total manhours for which pay was received by full- and parttime production or construction workers, includili hours paid for holidays, sick leave, and vacations taken. The man-hours are for 1 week of the pay period ending nearest the 15th of the month, and may not be typical of the entire month.
