1 The Charlotte Standard M etropolitan S tatistical A rea , as defined by the Bureau of the Budget through January 1968, con sists of M ecklenburg and Union Counties. The "w o rk e rs within
scop e of study" estim ates shown in this table provide a reasonably accurate descrip tion of! the size and com position of the labor fo r c e included in the survey. The estim ates are not intended,
how ever, to s erve as a b asis of com p arison with other em ploym ent indexes fo r the area to m easure em ploym ent trends o r levels since (1) planning o f wage surveys requires the use of
establishm ent data com p iled con sid era b ly in advance of the p a yroll p eriod studied, and (2) sm all establishm ents are excluded fro m the scope of the survey.
2 The 1967 edition of the Standard Industrial C la ssifica tion Manual was used in classifying establishm ents by industry division.
3 Includes all establishm ents with total em ploym ent at or above the minimum lim itation. A ll outlets (within the area) of com panies in such industries as trade, finance, auto repair se rv ice ,
and m otion picture theaters are con sid ered as 1 establishm ent.
4 Includes executive, p rofession a l, and other w orkers excluded fro m the separate plant and office categories.
5 Taxicabs and se rv ice s incidental to water transportation w ere excluded.

This industry d ivision is represented in estim ates fo r "a ll industries" and "nonm anufacturing" in the S eries A tables, and fo r "a ll industries" in the S eries B tables. Separate presentation
of data fo r this division is not made fo r one o r m ore of the follow ing rea son s: (1) Em ploym ent in the division is too sm all to provide enough data to m erit separate study, (2) the sam ple was not
designed initially to perm it separate presentation, (3) response was insufficient o r inadequate to perm it separate presentation, and (4) there is p o ssib ility of d isclo s u re of individual establishm ent data.
7 W orkers from this entire industry division are represented in estim ates for " a ll industries" and "nonm anufacturing" in the S eries A tables, but fro m the real estate portion only in estim ates
for " a ll industries" in the S eries B tables. Separate presentation of data fo r this division is not made fo r one o r m ore of the reasons given in footnote 6 above.
8 Hotels and m otels; laundries and other person a l s e rv ice s ; business s e r v ic e s ; automobile rep a ir, rental, and parking; m otion p ictu res; nonprofit m em bership organizations (excluding religious
and charitable organizations); and engineering and arch itectural se rv ice s.
M ore than tw o-fifth s of the w orkers within scope of the survey in the Charlotte area
w ere em ployed in m anufacturing firm s. The follow ing presents the m ajor industry groups
and sp e cific industries as a p ercen t of all m anufacturing:

Appendix. Occupational Descriptions
The prim ary purpose of preparing job descriptions for the B ureau's wage surveys is to a ssist its field staff in cla ssifyin g into appropriate
occupations w orkers who are em ployed under a variety of payroll titles and different work arrangem ents from establishm ent to establishment and
from area to area.
This perm its the grouping of occupational wage rates representing com parable job content.
Because of this emphasis on
interestablishm ent and interarea com parability of occupational content, the B ureau's job descriptions may differ significantly from those in use in
individual establishm ents or those prepared fo r other purposes.
In applying these job descrip tion s, the B ureau's field econom ists are instructed
to exclude working sup ervisors: apprentices; lea rn ers; beginners; trainees; and handicapped, p a rt-tim e, tem porary, and probationary w orkers.
OFFICE
CLERK, FILE
BILLER, MACHINE
Class A . In an established filing system containing a number of varied subject matter
file s , cla ss ifie s and indexes file m aterial such as corresp on den ce, rep orts, technical docu
m ents, etc. May also file this m aterial. May keep re co rd s of various types in conjunction
with the file s . May lead a sm all group of low er level file clerk s.
P rep ares statements, b ills , and invoices on a machine other than an ordinary or e le c tr o m atic typew riter. May also keep re co rd s as to billings or shipping charges or p erform other
cle rica l work incidental to billing operations. F or wage study purposes, b ille rs , m achine, are
cla ssified by type of m achine, as follow s:
B iller, machine (billing m achine). Uses a special billing machine (Moon Hopkins, Elliott
F ish er, Burroughs, e tc., which are com bination typing and adding m achines) to prepare bills
and invoices from cu stom ers' purchase ord e rs , internally prepared o rd e rs , shipping m em o
randums, etc. Usually involves application of predeterm ined discounts and shipping ch arges,
and entry of n ecessa ry extensions, which m ay or m ay not be computed on the billing m achine,
and totals which are autom atically accumulated by m achine. The operation usually involves
a large number of carbon copies of the bill being prepared and is often done on a fanfold
m achine.
B iller, machine (bookkeeping m achine). Uses a bookkeeping machine (Sundstrand, Elliott
F ish er, Remington Rand, e tc., which m ay or m ay not have typewriter keyboard) to prepare
