1 The F ort Lauderdale—
Hollywood and West Palm Beach Standard Metropolitan Statistical A reas, as defined by the O ffice of Management and Budget (fo rm erly the Bureau of the Budget) through
January 1968, consists of Broward and Palm Beach Counties. 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 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 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.
6 This industry division is represented in estimates for "a ll industries" and "nonmanufacturing" in the Series A tables, and fo r " a ll industries" in the Series B tables. Separate presentation
of data fo r this division is not made fo r one or m ore of the following reasons: (1) Employment in the division is too small to provide enough data to m erit separate study, (2) the sample was not
designed initially to permit separate presentation, (3) response was insufficient <5 inadequate to permit separate presentation, and (4) there is possibility of disclosure of individual establishment data.
r
7 W orkers from this entire industry division are represented in estimates fo r "a ll industries" and "nonmanufacturing" in the Series A tables, but from the real estate portion only in estimates
for " a ll industries" in the Series B tables. Separate presentation of data for this division is not made fo r 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 membership organizations (excluding religious
and charitable organizations); and engineering and architectural services.
Less than one-third of the workers within scope of survey in the F ort LauderdaleHollywood and West Palm Beach areas w ere employed in manufacturing firm s. The following
presents the major industry groups and specific industries as a percent of all manufacturing:

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 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 o f 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.

Positions are classified into levels on the basis of the following definitions.
Class A . Under general supervision, performs accounting clerical operations which
require the application of experience and judgment, for example, clerica lly processing com
plicated or nonrepetitive accounting transactions, selecting among a substantial variety of
prescribed accounting codes and classifications, or tracing transactions through previous

COMPTOMETER OPERATOR
SECRETARY— Continued
P rim a ry duty is to operate a Comptometer to perform mathematical computations. This
job is not to be confused with that of statistical or other type of clerk, which may involve fr e
quent use of a Comptometer but, in which, use of this machine is incidental to performance of
other duties.
N O TE: 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 m ajor
company activities. The title "vice president," though normally indicative of this role, does not
in all cases identify such positions. Vice presidents whose prim ary responsibility is to act p e r
sonally on individual cases or transactions (e.g., approve or deny individual loan or credit actions;
administer individual trust accounts; directly supervise a clerica l staff) are not considered to be
"corporate o ffic e rs " for purposes of applying the following level definitions.

dures to be followed and in searching fo r, interpreting, selecting, or coding items to be
keypunched from a variety of source documents. On occasion may also perform some routine
keypunch work. May train inexperienced keypunch operators.
Class B . Work is routine and repetitive. Under close supervision or following specific
procedures or instructions, works from various standardized source documents which have
been coded, and follows specified procedures which have been prescribed in detail and require

problems arising from erroneous items or codes or missing information.
