[lbo-talk] BLS hourly earnings stat question

[Gar Lipow]

I'm looking at the following statistic:

http://data.bls.gov/cgi-bin/srgate				
Ask for series	CEU0500000049				
in select list for year, choose all years				
results in following table 				
http://data.bls.gov/cgi-bin/srgate				
Series Id:     CEU0500000049				
Not Seasonally Adjusted					
Super Sector:  Total private					
Industry:      Total private					
Data Type:     AVERAGE HOURLY EARNINGS, 1982 DOLLARS					
1964 - 2005					

Does anyone know if this is of people who are paid hourly only? Or is
this all wage earners regardless of method of payment? That is, is the
BLS imputing an hourly wage to salaried employees?

Thanks

Gar
