2. Geographical Differentials:
Exhibit H presents the wage data gathered by the
Aeronautical Chamber of Commerce in the form of a wage
frequency table arranged in 5-cent wage intervals and
broken down by states, but consolidated with respect to
product. The same number of employees, or 32,792 are
covered by this State Classification as were included under
the product classification considered in the previous paraw
graph. Fourteen states are represented in the tabulation
and the following grouping of those states provides a com-
parison of the respective wage levels as reflected in the
incidence of the first quartiles and the medians.

This tabulation follows the method employed under
paragraph 1, above, and reveals wage differences of grater
magnitude than those existing between the various products.
For example, the first quartile, which is located in the wage
interval which is reached by the first 25% of the workers in
each state, ranges from the 42.5-47.5 cent interval in
Illinois to the 72.5 to 77.5 cent interval in Washington and
in Indiana. This is a spread of 30 cents and such a diver-
gence would ordinarily strongly suggest the establishment of
an appropriate geographical differential. Several other wage
