' The Dallas Standard Metropolitan Statistical A rea, as defined by the Office of Management and Budget (fo rm e rly the Bureau of the Budget)
through January 1968, consists of Collin, Dallas, Denton, E llis, Kaufman, and Rockwall Counties. The "w ork ers within scope of study" estimates
shown in this table provide a reasonably accurate description of the size and composition of the labor fo rc e included in the survey. The estimates
are not intended, however, to serve as a basis of comparison with other employment indexes fo r the area to m easure employment trends or levels
since (1) planning of wage surveys requires the use of establishment data compiled considerably in advance of the payroll period studied, and
(2) small establishments are excluded from the scope of the survey.
2 The 1967 edition of the Standard Industrial C lassification Manual was used in classifying establishments by industry division.
3 Includes a ll establishments with total employment at or above the minimum lim itation. A ll outlets (within the area) of companies in such
industries as trade, finance, auto repair service, and motion picture theaters are considered as 1 establishment.
4 Includes a ll w orkers in all establishments with total employment (within the area) at or above the minimum limitation.
5 Abbreviated to "public u tilities" in the A -s e r ie s tables. Taxicabs and services incidental to water transportation w ere excluded. Dallas'
transit system is municipally operated and is excluded by definition from the scope of the study.
6 This industry division is represented in estimates fo r " a ll industries" and "nonmanufacturing" in the Series A tables. Separate presentation
of data for this division is not made fo r 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 in itially to perm it separate presentation, (3) response was insufficient or inadequate to
perm it separate presentation, and (4) there is possibility of disclosure of individual establishment data.
7 Abbreviated to "finance" in the A -s e r ie s tables.
8 Hotels and m otels; laundries and other personal services; business services; automobile rep air, rental, and parking; motion pictures;
nonprofit membership organizations (excluding religious and charitable organizations); and engineering and architectural services.
Over two-fifths of the workers within scope of the survey in the Dallas area w ere employed in manufacturing firm s,
presents the m ajor industry groups and specific industries as a percent of a ll manufacturing:

The prim a ry purpose of preparing job descriptions for the Bureau's wage surveys is to assist its field staff in classifying 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 comparable job content. Because of this emphasis on
inter establishment and interarea com parability of occupational content, the Bureau's job descriptions m ay d iffe r 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; learn ers; beginners; trainees; and handicapped, part-tim e, tem porary, and probationary w orkers.
