(1) Averaging with small counts is highly susceptible to statistical bias.
(2) This study failed to account for occupational shifting, leave-of-absences and business cycles; hence, the decrease in average pay in this table.
(3) This is calculated by summation of the differences in pay over the four year tenure period.
(4) This is calculated by dividing cumulative pay increase by starting wage.
