  12. The point should be noted that the wage-rate data used were those for manufacturing, and for those cities not specializing in manufacturing these data might not be representative of the overall wage-rate picture.

  13. The success of the dummy variables probably was due to the statistical definition of wagerate change. Its value depends heavily on the amount of overtime worked and this varies regularly with the season.
