  1 Standard hours reflect the workweek for which employees receive their regular straight-time salaries (exclusive of pay for overtime at regular and/or premium rates), and the
earnings correspond to these weekly hours.
  2 Excludes premium pay for overtime and for work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts.  Also excluded are performance bonuses and lump-sum payments of the type negotiated in
the auto and aerospace industries, as well as profit-sharing payments, attendance bonuses, Christmas or year-end bonuses, and other nonproduction bonuses.  Pay increases, but not
bonuses, under cost-of-living clauses, and incentive payments, however, are included.  See Scope and Method of Survey for definitions and methods used to compute means, medians,
and middle ranges.
