- B the work performed by hourly wage workers at Zortech does not require a significantly higher level of skill than the work performed by hourly wage workers at Yorco does
- C the proportion of all company employees who are hourly wage workers is significantly greater at Yorco than it is at Zortech
- D overtime work, which is paid at a substantially higher rate than work done during the regular work week, is rare at both Yorco and Zortech
- E the highest hourly wages paid at Yorco are higher than the highest hourly wages paid at Zortech
