Georgia manufacturing wage survey 1996

EDITOR'S NOTE:
Wage rates reported by some of the nearly 1,000 companies that participated in the survey reflect the lowest, highest, and average points on pay scales rather than the actual wages being paid to employees at the time the survey was conducted.
Wages of salaried personnel reported by companies in annual, monthly, semi-monthly, weekly, or bi-weekly rates have been converted to hourly rates based on a 40-hour work week.
The following method was used to calculate the average highest wage, average lowest wage, and overall average wage for each job title on the wage survey:
1) Highest, lowest, and average hourly wages were multiplied by the number of employees reported by the company for the job title.
2) The above totals in each category were added together and then divided by the total number of employees to obtain a weighted average.

EXAMPLE:

Job Title Wage baker baker baker

# of employees Lowest Wage

Highest Wage

Average

10 X $9.50 = $95.00 X $10.25 = $102.50 X $ 9.85 = $98.50

2 X $10.00 = $20.00 X $11.00 = $ 22.00 X $10.50 = $21.00

-1_ X $10.15 = $40.60 X $10.95 = $ 43.80 X $10.60 = $42.40

16

$155.60

$168.30

$161.90

$155.60 / 16 = $9.73 (average lowest wage reported) $168.30 / 16 = $10.52 (average highest wage reported) $161.90 / 16 = $10.12 (average wage reported)
