1 The Atlanta Standard Metropolitan Statistical area, as defined by the Office of Management and Budget (fo rm e rly the Bureau of the Budget) through January 1968, consists of Clayton,
Cobb, DeKalb, Fulton, andGwinnett Counties. The "w orkers 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 employment indexes for the area to measure 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) sm all establishments are excluded
from the scope of the survey.
2 The 1967 edition of
the Standard Industrial Classification Manual was used in classifying establishments by industry division.
3 Includes all establishments with total employment at or above the minimum limitation. 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 executive, professional, and other workers excluded from the separate plant and office categories.
5 Abbreviated to "public u tilities" in the A - and B -series tables. Atlanta's transit system is municipally operated and is excluded by definition from the scope of the study. Taxicabs and
services incidental to water transportation were excluded.
6 Abbreviated to "finance" in the A - and B -series tables.
7 Estimate relates to real estate establishments only. Workers from the entire industry division are represented in the Series A tables, but from the rea l estate portion only in "a ll
industry" estimates in the Series B tables.
8 Hotels and m otels; 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.




One-third of the workers within scope of the survey in the Atlanta area w ere employed in manufacturing firm s.
presents the major industry groups and specific industries as a percent of all manufacturing:

The prim ary purpose of preparing job descriptions for the Bureau's wage surveys is to assist its field staff in classifying into appropriate
occupations workers who are employed under a variety of payroll titles and different work arrangements from establishment to establishment and
from area to area. This permits the grouping of occupational wage rates representing comparable job content. Because of this emphasis on
interestablishment and interarea comparability of occupational content, the Bureau's job descriptions may differ 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; learners; beginners; trainees; and handicapped, part-tim e, temporary, and probationary workers.

tional segments which are often, in turn, further subdivided. In some companies, this level
includes a wide range of organizational echelons; in others, only one or two; o r
2. Secretary to the head of an individual plant, factory, etc. (or other equivalent level

other electronic data processing employees, or program ers prim arily concerned with scientific
and/or engineering problem s.
F or wage study purposes, program ers are classified as follows:
Class A . Works independently or under only general direction on complex problems which
require competence in all phases of programing concepts and practices. Working from dia­
grams and charts which identify the nature of desired results, major processing steps to be
accomplished, and the relationships between various steps of the problem solving routine;
plans the full range of programing actions needed to efficiently utilize the computer system
in achieving desired end products.
At this level, programing is difficult because computer equipment must be organized to
produce several interrelated but diverse products from numerous and diverse data elements.
A wide variety and extensive number of internal processing actions must occur. This requires
such actions as development of common operations which can be reused, establishment of
linkage points between operations, adjustments to data when program requirements exceed
computer storage capacity, and substantial manipulation and resequencing of data elements
to form a highly integrated program.
May provide functional direction to lower level program ers who are assigned to assist.
Class B . Works independently or under only general direction on relatively simple
program s, or on simple segments of complex program s. Program s (or segments) usually
