1 The Boston Standard Metropolitan Statistical A rea, as defined by the Office of Management and Budget through November 1971, consists of Suffolk County, 15 communities in Essex
County, 30 in Middlesex County, 20 in Norfolk County, and 9 in Plymouth 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 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) small
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, autorepair 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. Taxicabs and services incidental to water transportation w ere excluded. Boston's transit system is municipally operated
and is excluded by definition from the scope of the study.
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 real estate portion only in " a ll industry"
estimates in the Series B tables.
8 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.
Labor-management agreement coverage
Industrial composition in manufacturing
Over one-third of the workers within scope of the survey in the Boston area w ere
employed in manufacturing firm s. The following presents the m ajor industry groups and
specific industries as a percent of a ll manufacturing:

An establishment is considered to have a contract covering all plantworkers
officeworkers if a m ajority of such workers are covered by a labor-management agreement.
Th erefore, all other plantworkers or officeworkers are employed in establishments that either
do not have labor-management contracts in effect, or have contracts that apply to fewer than
half of their plantworkers or officeworkers. Estimates are not necessarily representative
of the extent to which a ll workers in the area may be covered by the provisions of
labor-management agreements, because small establishments are excluded and the industrial
scope of the survey is lim ited. * Less than 0.5 percent.

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 w orkers who are employed under a variety of payroll titles and different work arrangem ents from establishment 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
interestablishment and interarea com parability 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; le a rn e rs; beginners; trainees; and handicapped, part-tim e, tem porary, and probationary w orkers.
