Footnotes12
1 Standard hours reflect the workweek for which employees receive their regular straight-time
salaries (exclusive of pay for overtime at regular and/or premium rates), and the earnings correspond
to these weekly hours.
The mean is computed for each job by totaling the earnings of all workers and dividing by
the number of workers. The median designates position— half of the workers receive the same or
more and half receive the same or less than the rate shown. The middle range is defined by two
rates of pay; a fourth of the workers earn the same or less than the lower of these rates and a
fourth earn the same or more than the higher rate.

2




3 Earnings data relate only to workers whose sex identification was p r o v i d e d by the
establishment.
4 Excludes premium pay for overtime and for work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts.
5 Estimates for periods ending prior to 1976 relate to men only for skilled maintenance and
unskilled plant workers. All other estimates relate to men and women.
6 Data do not meet publication criteria or data not available.

1 The Akron Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area, as defined by the Office
of Management and Budget through February 1974, consists of Portage and Summit
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. Estimates are not intended, however, for comparison with
other employment indexes to measure employment trends or levels since (1) planning
of wage surveys requires 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 1972 edition of the Standard Industrial Classification Manual was used
in classifying establishments by industry division. However, all government opera­
tions are excluded from the scope of the survey.
3 Includes all establishments with total employment at or above the minimum
limitation. All outlets (within the area) of companies in industries such as trade,
finance, auto repair service, and motion picture theaters are considered as 1
establishment.

4 Includes all workers in all establishments with total employment (within the
area) at or above the minimum limitation.
5 Abbreviated to "public utilities" in the A-series tables. Taxicabs and
services incidental to water transportation are excluded. Akron's local transit system
is municipally operated and is excluded by definition from the scope of the study.
6 This division is represented in estimates for "all industries" and "non­
manufacturing" in the A -se rie s tables. Separate presentation of data is not made
for one or more of the following reasons: (1) Employment is too small to provide
enough data to merit separate study, (2) the sample was not designed initially to
permit separate presentation, (3) response was insufficient or inadequate to permit
separate presentation, and (4) there is possibility of disclosure of individual
establishment data.
7 Hotels and motels; laundries and other personal services; business services;
automobile repair, rental, and parking; motion pictures; nonprofit membership
organizations (excluding religious and charitable organizations); and engineering and
architectural services.
