1 The M iam i Standard M etropolitan Statistical A rea (Dade County).
The "w o rk ers within scope of study" estim ates shown in this table provide
a reasonably accurate description of the size and composition of the labor force included in the survey.
The estim ates are not intended, however,
to serve as a basis of com parison with other area employment indexes to m easu re employment trends or levels since (1) planning of wage surveys
requires the use of establishm ent data compiled considerably in advance of the payroll period studied, and (2) sm all establishm ents are excluded
from the scope of the survey.
2 The 1957 revised edition of the Standard Industrial C lassification Manual was used in classifying establishm ents by industry division.
M ajor
changes from the earlier edition (used in the B ureau's labor m arket wage surveys conducted prior to July 1958) are the tran sfer of m ilk pasteurization
plants and ready-m ixed concrete establishm ents from trade (wholesale or retail) to manufacturing, and the transfer of radio and television broad
casting from service s to the transportation, communication, and other public utilities division.
5 Includes all establishm ents with total employment at or above the m in im u m -size lim itation (50 em ployees).
A ll outlets (within the area) of
c o m p a n ie s in su ch in d u s tr ie s a s t r a d e , fin a n c e , auto r e p a ir s e r v i c e s ,
and m o t io n -p ic t u r e t h e a te r s a r e c o n s id e r e d as 1 e s t a b lis h m e n t.
4 Taxicabs and services incidental to water transportation w ere excluded.
5 This industry division is represented in estim ates for "a ll in d u strie s" and "nonmanufacturing" in the se rie s A tables.
Separate presentation
of data for this division is not made for one or m ore of the following reasons: (1) Employment in the division is too sm all to provide enough data
to m erit separate study, (2) the sample was not designed initially to perm it separate presentation, (3) response was insufficient or inadequate to
perm it separate presentation, (4) there is possibility of d isclosu re of individual establishm ent data.
6 H otels; personal se rv ice s; business s e rv ic e s ; automobile repair shops; motion pictures; nonprofit m em bership organizations; and engineering

Appendix:
Occupational Descriptions
The primary purpose of preparing job descriptions for the Bureau’ s wage surveys is to a ssist its
field staff in classifyin g into appropriate occupations workers who are employed under a variety of payroll
titles and different work arrangements from establishment to establishment and from area to area. This is
essential in order to permit the grouping of occupational wage rates representing comparable job content.
Because of this emphasis on interestablishment and interarea comparability of occupational content, the
Bureau’ s job descriptions may differ significantly from those in use in individual establishments or those
prepared for other purposes in applying these job descriptions, the Bureau's field economists are
instructed to exclude working supervisors, apprentices, learners, beginners, trainees, handicapped workers,
part-time, temporary, and probationary workers.
