1 The Austin Standard M etropolitan S ta tistic al A re a, as defined by the Office of Management and Budget through November 1971, co n sists of T rav is County. The "w orkers within scope of
study" estim ate s shown in this table provide a reasonably accu rate description of the size and com position of the labor force included in the survey. The estim ates are not intended, however,
to serv e as a b a sis of com parison with other employment indexes for the a re a to m easure employment trends or levels since (1) planning of wage surveys requ ires the use
ofestablishm ent data
com piled considerably in advance of the payroll period studied, and (2) sm all establishm ents are excluded from the scope of the survey.
2 The 1967 edition of the Standard Industrial C lassificatio n Manual was used in classify in g establishm ents by industry division.
3 Includes a ll establishm ents with total employment at or above the minimum lim itation. A ll outlets (within the area) of com panies in such in dustries as trad e , finance, auto rep air se rv ice ,
and motion picture th eaters a re considered as 1 establishm ent.
4 Includes executive, p ro fe ssio n al, and other w orkers excluded from the sep arate plant and office cate g o rie s.
5 Abbreviated to "public u tilitie s" in the A- and B - s e r ie s tab le s. T axicabs and se rv ic e s incidental to w ater tran sportation were excluded.
6 This industry division is represen ted in estim ates for "a ll in d u strie s" and "nonm anufacturing" in the S e r ie s A ta b le s, and for "a ll in d u strie s" in the S erie s B tab le s. Separate presentation of
data for this division is not made for one or m ore of the following reason s: (1) Employment in the division is too sm all to provide enough data to m erit sep arate study, (2) the sam ple was not
designed initially to perm it sep arate presentation, ( 3 ) respon se was insufficient or inadequate to perm it sep arate presentation, and ( 4 ) there is p o ssibility of d isclo su re of in d i v i d u a l e s t a b li s h m e n t d a ta .
7 W orkers from this entire industry division are rep resen ted in estim ates for "a ll in d u strie s" and "nonm anufacturing" in the S e rie s A tab le s, but from the rea l estate portion only inestim ates
for " a ll in d u strie s" in the S e rie s B tab les. Separate presentation of data for this division is not made for one or m ore of the reason s given in footnote 6 above.

An establishm ent is considered to have a contract covering a ll plantworkers or
officew orkers if a m ajority of such w orkers are covered by a labor-m anagem ent agreem ent.
T h erefore, all other plantw orkers or officew orkers a re employed in establishm ents that either
do not have labor-m anagem ent con tracts in effect, or have con tracts that apply to fewer than
half of their plantw orkers or officew ork ers. E stim ates are not n e c e ssa rily representative
of the extent to which all w orkers in the are a may be covered by the provisions of
labor-m anagem ent agreem en ts, becau se sm all establishm ents a re excluded and the industrial
scope of the survey is lim ited.

The prim ary purpose of preparing job d escriptions for the B u reau's wage surveys is to a s s is t its field staff in classify in g into appropriate
