1 The D etroit Standard M etropolitan Statistical A rea, as defined by the Bureau of the Budget through January 1968, con sists of Macom b, Oakland, and Wayne Counties. The "w orkers within
scope of study" estim ates shown in this table provide a reasonably accurate descrip tion of the size and com position of the labor fo rce included in the survey.
The estim ates are not intended
how ever, to serve as a b asis of com p arison with other employm ent indexes fo r the area to m easure employment trends o r levels since ( l) planning of wage surveys requires the use of establishment
data com piled con siderably in advance of the p a yroll 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 lassification Manual was used in classifying establishm ents by industry division .
3 Includes all establishm ents with total em ploym ent at o r above the minimum lim itation. A ll outlets (within the area) of com panies in such industries as trade, finance, auto repair service,
and m otion picture theaters are con sidered as 1 establishm ent.
4 Includes executive, p rofessional, and other w orkers excluded from the separate plant and office categories.
5 Abbreviated to "public u tilities" in the A - and B -s e r ie s tables. Taxicabs and se rv ice s incidental to water transportation were excluded. D etroit's transit system is m unicipally operated
and is excluded by definition from the scope of the study.
* Abbreviated to "fin an ce" in the A - and B -s e r ie s tables.
7 Estimate relates to real estate establishm ents only. W orkers from the entire industry division are represented in the Series A tables, but from the real estate portion only in "a ll industry"
estim ates in the Series B tables.
8 Hotels and m otels; laundries and other p ersonal se rv ice s; business se rv ice s; automobile repair, rental, and parking; m otion p ictures; nonprofit m em bership organizations (excluding
religious and charitable organizations); and engineering and architectural se rv ice s .




A lm ost tw o-thirds of the w orkers within scope of the survey in the D etroit area w ere em ployed in manufacturing firm s.
follow ing presents the m ajor industry groups and sp ecific industries as a percen t of all manufacturing:

Proportions in various industry divisions may d iffer from proportions based on the results of the survey as shown in table 1 above.

D e s c rip tio n s

The p rim ary purpose o f preparing job d escrip tion s fo r the B ureau's wage surveys is to a ssist its fie ld staff in cla ssifyin g into appropriate
occupations w ork ers who are em ployed under a va riety of p a yro ll titles and different w ork arrangem ents fro m establishm ent to establishm ent and
from area to area. This perm its the grouping of occupational wage rates representing com parable job content. B ecause of this em phasis on
interestablishm ent and interarea com parability of occupational content, the B ureau's job d escrip tions m ay d iffer significantly fro m those in use in
individual establishm ents or those p repared fo r other p urposes. In applying these job d escrip tion s, the B ureau's field econ om ists are instructed
to exclude working s u p ervisors; apprentices; lea rn e rs; beginners; train ees; and handicapped, p a rt-tim e, tem p orary, and p robationary w orkers.
