1 The Albuquerque Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area, as defined by the Bu reau of the Budget through January 1968, consists of Bernalillo County. 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. The estimates are not intended, however, to serve
as a basis of comparison with other em pl oy me nt indexes for the area to m e a s u r e em ployment 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 fr om the scope of the survey.
2 The 1967 edition of the Standard Industrial Classification Manual wa s used in classifying establishments by industry division.
3 Includes all establishments with total e m p l oy me nt at or above the m i n i m u m limitation. All 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 executive, professional, and other workers excluded from the separate plant and office categories.
5 Taxicabs and services incidental to water transportation were excluded. The local-transit system in the Albuquerque area is municipally operated and is excluded by definition from the
scope of the study.
6 This industry division is represented in estimates for "all industries" and "nonmanufacturing" in the Series A tables, and for "all industries" in the Series B tables. Separate presentation
of data for this division is not m a d e for one or m o r e of the following reasons: (l) E m p l o y m e n t in the division 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 Wo rk er s from this entire industry division are represented in estimates for "all industries" and "nonmanufacturing" in the Series A tables, but fr om the real estate portion only in estimates
for "all industries" in the Series B tables.
Separate presentation of data for this division is not m a d e for one or m o r e of the reasons given in footnote 6 above.
8 Hotels and motels; laundries and other personal services; business services; automobile repair, rental, and parking; motion pictures; nonprofit m e m b e r s h i p organizations (excluding religious
and charitable organizations); and engineering and architectural services.
Al mo st one-fifth'of the workers within scope of the survey in the Albuquerque area
were employed in manufacturing firms.
The following presents the major industry groups
and specific industries as a percent of all manufacturing:
