The
straight-time average hourly earnings in this bulletin differ
in concept from the gross average hourly earnings published
in the Bureau's monthly hours and earnings series ($3. 11 in
March 1970). Unlike the latter, estimates presented here
exclude premium pay for overtime and for work on week­
ends, holidays, and late shifts. Average earnings were cal­
culated by summing individual hourly earnings and dividing
by the number of individuals; in the monthly series, the sum
of the man-hour totals reported by establishments in the
industry was divided into the reported payroll totals.
The estimate of the number of production workers within
scope of the study is intended only as a general guide to
the size and composition of the labor force included in the
survey. It differs from the number published in the monthly
series (181,400 in March 1970) by exclusion of establish­
ments employing fewer than 2 0 workers and because the ad­
vance planning necessary to make the survey requires the
use of lists of establishments assembled considerably in ad­
vance of data collection. Thus, establishments new to the
industries are omitted, as are establishments originally clas­
sified in the paperboard containers and boxes industries but
found to be in other industries at the time of the survey.
Also omitted are establishments manufacturing paperboard
containers and boxes, but classified incorrectly in other
industries at the time the lists were compiled.
