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 2 23 in March April 1966 Unlike the latter the estimates presented here exclude premium pay for overtime and for work on weekends holidays and late shifts Average mean hourly rates or earnings for each occupation or other group of workers such as men women or production workers were calculated by weighting each rate or hourly earnings by the number of workers receiving the rate totaling 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 numbers published in the monthly series 32 400 in March and 36 600 in April 1966 by the exclusion of establishments employing fewer than eight workers and by the fact that the advance planning necessary to make the survey required the use of lists of establish ments assembled considerably in advance of data collection Thus establishments new to the industry are omitted as are establishments originally classified in the fertilizer manufacturing industry but found to be in other industries at the time of the survey Also omitted are establishments manufacturing fertilizer but classified incorrectly in other industries at the time
