The C o m m u n i t y W a g e Survey P r o g r a m

T h e B u r e a u of L a b o r Statistics regularly conducts a r e a w i d e
w a g e surveys in a n u m b e r of important industrial centers. T h e studies,
m a d e f r o m late fall to early spring, relate to occupational earnings a n d
related s u p p l e m e n t a r y benefits. A preliminary report is available on
completion of the study in each area, usually in the m o n t h following
the payroll period studied. This bulletin provides additional data not
included in the earlier report. A consolidated analytical bulletin s u m ­
m a r i z i n g the results of all of the y e a r ’s surveys is issued after c o m ­
pletion of the final area bulletin for the current round of surveys.

1 The Atlanta Metropolitan Area (Cobb, DeKalb, and Fulton Counties). The "workers within scope of study" estimates shown in this table provide a reasonably
accurate description of the size and composition of the labor force included in the survey. The estimates are not intended, however, to serve as a basis of comparison
with other area employment indexes to measure employment trends or levels since (1) planning of wage surveys requires the use of establishment data compiled consid­
erably in advance of the pay period studied, and (2) small establishments are excluded from the scope of the survey.
Includes all establishments with total employment at or above the minimum-size limitation. All outlets (within the area) of companies in such industries as trade,
finance auto repair service, and motion-picture theaters are considered as 1 establishment.
3 Includes executive, technical, professional, and other workers excluded from the separate office and plant categories.
4 Also excludes taxicabs, and services incidental to water transportation.
5 Estimate relates to real estate establishments only.
6 Hotels; personal services; business services; automobile repair shops; radio broadcasting and television; motion pictures; nonprofit membership organization; and
engineering and architectural services.
7 This industry division is represented in estimates for "ail industries" and "nonmanufacturing" in the Series A and B tables, although coverage was insufficient
to justify separate presentation of data.
