  1. Note: Observations were restricted to those who earned positive values of regular pay and bonuses. Results for workers who have worked longer than the median tenure defined for each industry ×occupation category are reported to exclude the wages of newly hired workers. CPI is the annual industry-level consumer price index in Table 1. The gross-output deflator is used as the other measure of p, and its annual industry-level values are reported in Table 2.
