1 The Columbus Standard Metropolitan Statistical A rea, as defined by the O ffice of Management and Budget (fo rm e rly the Bureau of the Budget)
through January 1968, consists of Delaware, Franklin, and Pickaway Counties. The "w ork ers within scope of study" estimates shown in this table
provide a reasonably accurate description of the size and composition of the labor fo rc e included in the survey. The estim ates are not intended,
however, to serve as a basis of comparison with other employment indexes fo r the a rea to m easure employment trends or levels since (1) planning
of wage surveys requires the use of establishment data compiled considerably in advance of the pa yroll period studied, and (2) small establishments
are excluded from the scope of the survey.
2 The 1967 edition of the Standard Industrial C lassification Manual was used in classifying establishments by industry division.
3 Includes a ll 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 all w orkers in a ll establishments with total employment (within the area) at or above the minimum limitation.
5 Abbreviated to "public u tilities" in the A -s e r ie s tables. Taxicabs and services incidental to water transportation w ere excluded.
6 This industry division is represented in estimates fo r " a ll industries" and "nonmanufacturing" in the Series A tables. Separate presentation
o f data fo r this division is not made for one or m ore of the following reasons: (1) Employment in the division is too sm all to provide enough data
to m erit separate study, (2) the sample was not designed initially to perm it separate presentation, (3) response was insufficient or inadequate to
perm it separate presentation, and (4) there is possibility of disclosure of individual establishment data.
7 Hotels and m otels; laundries and other personal services; business services; automobile rep air, rental, and parking; motion pictures;
nonprofit membership organizations (excluding religious and charitable organizations); and engineering and architectural services.
A lm ost one-half of the w orkers within scope of the survey in the Columbus area w ere
employed in manufacturing firm s. The following presents the m ajor industry groups and
specific industries as a percent of all manufacturing:

The prim ary purpose of preparing job descriptions fo r the Bureau's wage surveys is to assist its field staff in classifying into appropriate
occupations workers who are employed under a va riety of payroll titles and different work arrangements from establishment to establishment and
from area to area. This perm its the grouping of occupational wage rates representing comparable job content. Because of this emphasis on
inter establishment and interarea com parability of occupational content, the Bureau's job descriptions m ay d iffer 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, tem porary, and probationary workers.
