The value of volunteer
time is based on the hourly earnings (approximated from yearly values) of all
production and non-supervisory workers on private non-farm payrolls average
(based on yearly earnings provided by the Bureau of Labor Statistics) for the
national average. Independent Sector indexes this figure to determine state
values and increases it by 12 percent to estimate for fringe benefits.
