lishments in New York oe the lowest percentage for raw material, 
60.69, is in Group IV; the highest, 65.44, in Group III. Among the 
groups of establishments outside New York City, the variation in the 
percentage is less than 1 per cent. 
Among the establishments in New York City, the percentage for 
direct labor wages in Group IV, 15.70, is the lowest, but the per- 
centage for amount paid to contractors, 4.93, is considerably the 
highest. The groups of establishments with the smallest sales, Groups 
I and V, show the smallest percentage for total direct labor cost.
