Derived by assuming that the overtime hours shown in table C-2 are paid at the rate of time and one-half.
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.
NOTE: Data for the current month are preliminary.
