were highest in the Philadelphia area for both full-fashioned and seamless
 hosiery workers. The median earnings for men in both Berks
and Northampton counties fell below the median for all men in the
full-fashioned industry. In the seamless hosiery industry the median
for all workers was influenced considerably by the earnings received
by the men and women in Philadelphia County. In mo other area
did the median earnings approximate or exceed the median for all
workers (Chart 9).

Median weekly earnings by variation from scheduled hours
The high proportion of employes for whom no data on actual hours
+f work could be obtained*** influence materially the findings as
presented in Chart 10. The median earnings of men and women in the
full-fashioned hosiery industry for whom no record of hours could
be obtained were higher than in any group where hour data were
available. Men working full time earned more than men working
overtime. This is true undoubtedly because the knitting departments
where men’s earnings were highest had a high proportion of fulltime
 work and very little overtime. On the other hand overtime work
for women brought a slight increase in their median weekly earnings.
Median earnings for both men and women were lowest for the under-‘ime
 workers.
In the seamless hosiery industry there was comparatively little
svertime but an appreciable amount of undertime. Men working
overtime in seamless hosiery had much higher median earnings than
those working full time. Women working full time had earnings above
the median for, the entire group. There was practically no overtime
work for women in the seamless hosiery industry. Undertime work
for women influenced their earnings materially, the median for undertime
 workers being $7 less than the median for full-time workers.
