1 The Wichita Standard M etropolitan Statistical A rea, as defined by the Bureau of the Budget through January 1968, con sists of Butler and Sedgwick Counties. The "w ork ers within scope
of study" estim ates shown in this table provide a reasonably accurate description of the size and com position of the labor fo rce included in the survey. The estim ates are not intended, how ever,
to serve as a basis of com p arison with other em ploym ent indexes for the area to m easure employment trends or levels since (1) planning of wage surveys requires the use of establishm ent data
com piled con siderably in advance of the p a yroll p eriod studied, and (2) sm all establishm ents are excluded from the scope of the survey.
2 The 1967 edition of the Standard Industrial C lassification Manual was used in classifying establishm ents by industry division.
3 Includes all establishm ents with total employm ent at or above the minimum limitation. A ll outlets (within the area) of com panies in such industries as trade, finance, auto repair se rvice ,
and motion picture theaters are con sid ered as 1 establishm ent.
4 Includes executive, p rofession a l, and other w orkers excluded from the separate plant and office categories.
5 Taxicabs and serv ices incidental to water transportation w ere excluded.
6 This industry division is represented in estim ates fo r " a ll industries" and "nonmanufacturing" in the S eries A tables, and fo r "a ll industries" in the S eries B tables. Separate presentation
of data for this division is not made for one or m ore o f 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, and (4) there is p ossib ility of d isclo su re of individual establishm ent data.
7 W orkers from this entire industry division are represented in estim ates fo r "a ll industries" and "nonmanufacturing" in the S eries A tables, but from 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 or m ore of the reasons given in footnote 6 above.
8 Hotels and m otels; laundries and other personal s e rv ice s ; business s e rv ice s ; automobile repair, rental, and parking; m otion p ictu res; nonprofit m em bership organizations (excluding religious
and charitable organizations); and engineering and architectural se rv ice s.
O ver tw o-thirds of the w orkers within scope of the survey in the Wichita area were
em ployed in manufacturing firm s. The following presents the m ajor industry groups and
sp ecific industries as a percent of all manufacturing;

O c cu p a tio n a l D e s c rip tio n s
The prim ary purpose of preparing job descriptions for the Bureau's wage surveys is to assist its field staff in clas sifying into appropriate
occupations w orkers who are employed under a variety of payroll titles and different work arrangements from establishment 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 Bureau's job descriptions may differ significantly from those in use in
individual establishm ents or those prepared for other purposes.
In applying these job descriptions, the Bureau's field econom ists are instructed
to exclude working supervisors; apprentices; learners; beginners; trainees; and handicapped, p art-tim e, tem porary, and probationary w orkers.
