Data for an estimated 29, 506 workers employed in converted
paper products departments of mills covered by the study are ex­

separately in table 6. The inclusion of these workers would
reduce the nationwide average by an estimated 3 cents an hour.

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. Unlike the
latter, the estimate presented here excludes premium pay for
overtime and for work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts.
Average earnings were calculated 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
Bureau's monthly series for paper and pulp, unlike this survey,
also includes establishments primarily engaged in manufacturing
building paper and building board from woodpulp and other fibrous
materials. The monthly series also includes data for workers in
converted paper products departments of paper and paperboard
mills; in this study, data for these workers are excluded from the
tabulations for the regular pulp, paper, and paperboard depart­
ments and are shown separately.

Mills (BLS Bulletin 1341, 1962), p. 8.
