1 The Albuquerque Standard M etropolitan S tatistical A r e a , as defined by the Bureau of the Budget through January 1968, con sists of B ernalillo
County.
The "w o r k e r s within scope of study" e stim a tes shown is this table provide a reasonably accurate description of the size and com position
of the labor fo rce included in the su rv ey.
The e stim a tes are not intended, how ever, to serve as a b a sis of com p arison with other em ploym ent
indexes for the area to m easu re em ploym ent trends or le v e ls since (1) planning of wage surveys req u ires the use of establishm en t data com piled
con sid erab ly in advance of the payroll period studied, and (2) s m a ll establishm en ts are excluded fro m the scope of the survey.
2 The 1967 edition of the Standard Industrial C la ssifica tio n Manual was used in cla ssify in g establishm en ts by industry division.
3 Includes a ll establishm en ts with total em ploym ent at or above the m inim um lim itation.
A ll outlets (within the area) of com panies in such
industries as trade, finance, auto rep air s e r v ic e , and m otion picture theaters are con sid ered as 1 establishm en t.
4 Includes all w orkers in a ll establishm en ts with total em ploym ent (within the area) at or above the m inim um lim itation.
5 A bbreviated to "p u b lic u tilitie s " in the A - s e r i e s ta b les.
Taxicabs and s e rv ic e s incidental to water transportation w ere excluded.
The lo c a ltran sit sy stem in the Albuquerque area is m un icipally operated and is excluded by definition fro m the scope of the study.
6 This industry d ivision is rep resented in e stim ates for " a l l in d u strie s" and "non m anufactu ring" in the Series A ta b le s.
Separate presentation
of data for this division is not m ade for one or m o re of the following re a s o n s :
(1) E m p loym ent in the d ivision is too sm a ll to provide enough data
to m e r it separate study, (2) the sam ple was not designed in itia lly to perm it separate presentation, (3) response was insufficient or inadequate to
perm it separate presentation, and (4) there is p o ssib ility of d isclo su re of individual establishm en t data.
7 H otels and m o te ls ; laundries and other personal s e r v ic e s ; b u sin ess s e r v ic e s ; automobile re p a ir, ren tal, and parking; m otion pictu res; nonprofit
m em b ersh ip organizations (excluding religiou s and charitable organizations); and engineering and arch itectural s e r v ic e s .
A lm o st on e-fifth of the w orkers within scope of the su rv ey in the Albuquerque area
w ere em ployed in m anufacturing f ir m s .

Footnotes
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.
2 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 employees surveyed receive more than the rate shown; half receive less than the rate shown. The middle range is defined by
Z rates of pay; a fourth of the workers earn less than the lower of these rates and a fourth earn more than the higher rate.
3 Excludes premium pay for overtime and for work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts.
Appendix.
Occupational Descriptions
The prim ary purpose of preparing job descriptions for the Bureau's wage surveys is to a s s is t its field staff in classifying into appropriate
occupations w orkers who are employed 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 for other purposes.
In applying these job descriptions, the Bureau's field econom ists are instructed
to exclude working sup ervisors; apprentices; learn ers; beginners; trainees; and handicapped, p a rt-tim e, tem porary, and probationary w orkers.

Exclusions
Not all positions that are titled "secretary" possess the above characteristics. Examples
of positions which are excluded from the definition are as follows: (a) Positions which do not meet
the "personal" secretary concept described above; (b) stenographers not fully trained in secretarial
type duties; (c) stenographers serving as office assistants to a group of professional, technical,
or managerial persons; (d) secretary positions in which the duties are either substantially more
routine or substantially more complex and responsible than those characterized in the definition;
and (e) assistant type positions which involve more difficult or more responsible technical, admin
istrative, supervisory, or specialized clerical duties which are not typical of secretarial work.
NOTE: The term "corporate offic e r," used in the level definitions following, refers to
those officials who have a significant corporate-wide policymaking role with regard to major
company activities. The title "vice president," though normally indicative of this role, does not
in all cases identify such positions. Vice presidents whose primary responsibility is to act per
sonally on individual cases or transactions (e.g., approve or deny individual loan or credit actions;
administer individual trust accounts; directly supervise a clerical staff) are not considered to be
"corporate officers" for purposes of applying the following level definitions.
Class A
a. Secretary to the chairman of the board or president of a company that employs, in
all, over 100 but fewer than 5,000 persons; or
b. Secretary to a corporate officer (other than the chairman of the board or president)
