The opinion
*466 FLAHERTY, Justice,
concurring.
On this record I concur in the result reached by MR. JUSTICE LARSEN, however, I believe in cases which are less certain than this, findings based upon a record should be made reflecting the customs of the industry involved and the expectations of employment in the particular industry or occupation.
