1 The Dayton Standard Metropolitan Statistical A rea, as defined by the Bureau of the Budget through January 1968, consists of Greene, M iam i, M ontgomery, and Preble Counties. The
"w orkers within scope of study" estim ates 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 Taxicabs and services incidental to water transportation were excluded.
6 This industry division is represented in estim ates for "a l l industries" and "nonmanufacturing" in the Series A tables, and for "a ll industries" in the Series B tables. Separate presentation
of data for 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 permit separate presentation, (3) response was insufficient or inadequate to permit separate presentation, and (4) there is possibility of disclosure of individual establishment data.
7 W orkers from this entire industry division are represented in estim ates for "a ll industries" and "nonmanufacturing" in the Series A tables, but from the real estate portion only in estimates
for "a l l industries" in the Series B tables. Separate presentation of data for this division is not made for one or m ore of the reasons given in footnote 6 above.
8 Hotels and m otels; laundries and other personal services; business services; automobile repair, rental, and parking; motion pictures; nonprofit mem bership organizations (excluding religious
and charitable organizations); and engineering and architectural services.
About three-fourths of the workers within scope of the survey in the Dayton area
were employed in manufacturing firm s.
The following presents the m ajor industry groups
and specific industries as a percent of all manufacturing:

Includes basic plans only. Excludes plans such as vacation bonus, vacation-savings, and those plans which offer "extended" or "sabba tical" benefits beyond basic plans to workers with quali
fying lengths of service. Typical of such exclusions are plans in the steel, aluminum, and can industries.
? Includes data for wholesale trade, retail trade, real estate, and s e r v ic e s , in addition to those industry divisions shown separately.
3 Transportation, communication, and other public utilities.
4 Includes data for wholesale trade; retail trade; finance, insurance, and real estate; and s e r v ic e s , in addition to those industry divisions shown separately.
5 L ess than 0. 5 percent.
6 Includes payments other than "length of t i m e ," such as percentage of annual earnings or flat- sum paym ents, converted to an equivalent time basis; for example, a payment of 2 percent
of annual earnings was considered as 1 week's pay.
Periods of service were chosen arbitrarily and do not necessarily reflect the individual provisions for progression.
For example, the
changes in proportions indicated at 10 y e a rs' service include changes in provisions occurring between 5 and 10 y e a rs.
Estim ates are cumulative.
Thus, the proportion eligible for 3 weeks
pay or more after 10 years includes those eligible for 3 weeks' pay or m ore after fewer years of service.

Appendix. Occupational Descriptions
The primary purpose of preparing job descriptions for the Bureau's wage surveys is to a ssist 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.

STENOGRAPHER,
Exclusions
Not all positions that are titled "s e c re ta ry " possess the above characteristics. Examples
of positions which are excluded from the definition are as follows: (a) Positions which do not meet
the "p erson al" 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.
N O T E: The term "corporate officer, " 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 presid ent," though normally indicative of this role, does not
in all cases identify such positions. Vice presidents whose prim ary 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.
C lass D

over 100 but fewer than 5, 000 persons; or

bility than stenographers, general as evidenced by the following: Work requires high degree of
stenographic speed and accuracy; and a thorough working knowledge of general business and office
procedures and of the specific business operations, organization, policies, procedures, files,
workflow, etc.

tasks such as, maintaining followup files; assembling m aterial for reports, memorandums, letters,

not readily understandable for telephone information purposes, e .g ., because of overlapping or
interrelated functions, and consequently present frequent problems as to which extensions are
appropriate for calls.)
C lass B. Operates a single- or m ultiple-position telephone switchboard handling incoming,
outgoing, intraplant or office calls. May handle routine long distance calls and record tolls. May
perform limited telephone information service. ("L im ite d " telephone information service occurs
