* Excludes premium pay for overtime and for work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts.
2 Changes which vary from area to area are for payroll periods approximately a year apart.Because the intervals
between the 1965 and 1966, and the 1966 and 1968 surveys were over 1 year, the percents of change since 1961 have been
adjusted to reflect annual changes. The compound effect of wage changes was considered in computing the annual percent
of change between the 1966 and 1968 surveys.
3 For methods used to construct indexes see appendix A.
4 Since a survey was not made in 1967, data for the 2 periods are the same.

Average hourly earnings for men in 15 occupational classifications common to all areas were used in computing the
relative pay levels. To minimize interarea differences in occupational composition, weights expressing constant employment
relationships based on total employment in the respective jobs in the 21 areas were used.
Aggregates were computed for
each area by multiplying the average straight-time earnings for the jobs by these weights and totaling.
The ratio of these
aggregates formed the basis for the relatives.
