In the preceding analysis, actual wages and salaries of 1968 in West-Berlin are compared with those of given areas in West Germany. A comparison of average incomes for the year 1968 reveals that the level of wages and salaries in West Berlin lay 2 per cent above the average for the overall economy, but 8 per cent below the average for Hamburg. The wage and salary position of West-Berlin relative to West Germany has thus improved steadily since 1960. In a comparison of average incomes in West-Berlin's two most important economic sectors - manufacturing and building - the following results were obtained: the average industrial income of West Berlin in 1968 lay 4 per cent below the Federal German average and 17 per cent below the average of ten large West German cities {Hamburg, Munich, Nürnberg, Düsseldorf, Duisburg, Essen, Cologne). On the other hand, the average income of persons employed in building in West-Berlin exceeded the West German level in this category: the Federal German average by 13 per cent and the average of the aforementioned ten cities by 2 per cent.
