ABSTRACT:

Profile of Chrysler auto worker Bill Cecil who, by working an average of 40 hours per week in overtime, earned $101,000 last year; earnings put him among the 17,000 of the 1.2 million auto industry workers, including executives, who make over $100,000; Cecil says extra pay allows him to live comfortably, but extra hours led to divorce in first marriage
