"The Bureau of Labor Statistics has been publishing measures of output per man-hour for selected industries for many years. These measures appear in Indexes of Output Per Man-Hour, Selected Industries, 1939 and 1947-67 (BLS Bulletin 1612), December 1968. This report presents indexes for the corrugated and solid fiber boxes industry for the first time. Earlier reports in the paper and allied products group covered paper, paperboard, pulp, and building board mills."--Page iii.

"This bulletin contains a summary of technical changes made in the Consumer Price Index data collection and calculation procedures during the period from 1959 through 1963. Among these changes are the rebasing from 1947-49=100 to 1957-59=100; improvements in price collection through expansion of the outlet samples; and improvements in the measurement of the effects of quality changes. The bulletin also includes tables of indexes for the U.S. city average and for individual cities. The bulletin was prepared by the Office of Prices and Living Conditions."--Page iii.

"The concept of employee compensation has been broadened considerably in the past several decades by the adoption or liberalization of supplementary pay practices. Statistics on straight-time wages for time worked no longer sufficiently approximate the level of employer payments for hired labor. Therefore, it is important to account for such outlays as vacation and holiday pay, daily or weekly over- time and shift differentials, terminal (severance) pay, contributions to private pension and health and welfare funds, and payments under legally required insurance programs. This bulletin analyzes the level and structure of employer outlays for the compensation of employees, con- sidering the expenditures for each component as a percent of total compensation outlays and in cents-per-hour. Furthermore, the relative importance of working and leave hours as percents of total hours paid for is discussed ... The study was conducted in the Bureau's Office of Wages and Industrial Relations by the Division of National Wage and Salary Income, Norman J. Samuels, Chief. The analysis was prepared by Robert E. Pope under the general direction of Arnold Strasser."--Preface.
