1 Standard hours reflect the workweek for which employees receive their regular straight-time
salaries (exclusive of pay for overtim e at regular and/or premium rates), and the earnings correspond
to these weekly hours.
2 The mean is computed for each job by totaling the earnings of all workers and dividing by
the number of workers. The median designates position— half of the workers receive the same or
more and half receive the same or less than the rate shown. The middle range is defined by two
rates of pay; a fourth of the workers earn the same or less than the lower of these rates and a
fourth earn the same or more than the higher rate.




J Earnings data relate only to workers whose sex identification was p r o v i d e d by the
establishment.
4 Excludes premium pay for overtim e and for work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts.
5 Estimates for periods ending prior to 1976 relate to men only for skilled maintenance and
unskilled plant workers. A ll other estimates relate to men and women.
6 Data do not meet publication criteria or data not available.

1 The Hartford Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area, as defined by the Office
of Management and Budget through February 1974, consists of the city of Hartford,
and 21 towns in Hartford County, New Hartford town in Litchfield County; 3 towns
in Middlesex County, Colchester town in New London County, and 10 towns in
Tolland 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. Estimates are not intended, however, fo r comparison
with other employment indexes to measure employment trends or levels since (1)
planning of wage surveys requires 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 1972 edition of the Standard Industrial Classification Manual was used
in classifying establishments by industry division. However, all government oper­
ations are excluded from the scope of the survey.
3 Includes a ll establishments with total employment at or above the minimum
limitation. A ll outlets (within the area) of companies in industries such as trade,
finance, auto repair service, and motion picture theaters are considered as 1
establishment.

5 Abbreviated to "public u tilities" in the A -serie s tables. Taxicabs and
services incidental to water transportation are excluded.
6 This division is represented in estimates fo r " a ll industries" and "non­
manufacturing" in the A -s e rie s tables. Separate presentation of data is not made
fo r one or m ore of the following reasons: (1) Employment 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 es­
tablishment data.
7 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.
