F ort Bend, H a rris, L ib erty, and M ontgom ery Counties. The "w o rk e rs within scope of study" estim ates shown in this table provid e a reasonably
accu rate d escrip tion of the size and com p osition of the labor fo r c e included in the survey. The estim ates are not intended, how ever, to serve as
a b asis of com p a rison with other em ploym ent indexes fo r the area to m easure em ploym ent trends or le v e ls sin ce (1) planning of wage surveys
req u ires the use of establishm ent data com p iled con sid era b ly in advance of the p a y ro ll p eriod studied, and (2) sm all establishm ents are excluded
from the scop e of the survey.
2 The 1967 edition of the Standard Industrial C la ssifica tio n Manual was used in cla ssifyin g establishm ents by industry division.
3 Includes all establishm ents with total em ploym ent at or above the m inimum lim itation. A ll outlets (within the area) of com panies in such
industries as trade, finance, auto repair s e r v ic e , and m otion p icture theaters are con sid ered as 1 establishm ent.
4 Includes all w ork ers in all establishm ents with total em ploym ent (within the area) at o r above the m inim um lim itation.
5 T axicabs and s e rv ice s incidental to water transportation w ere excluded.
* This industry division is represented in estim ates fo r "a ll industries" and "nonm anufacturing" in the S eries A tables. Separate presentation
of data for this division is not made fo r one or m o re of the follow ing rea son s; (l) Em ploym ent in the d ivision is too sm all to provid e enough data
to m erit separate study, (2) the sam ple was not designed initially to perm it separate presentation, (3) resp onse was insufficient or inadequate to
p erm it separate p resentation, and (4) there is p o ss ib ility of d isclo s u re of individual establishm ent data.

1 Standard hours reflect the workweek for which employees receive their regular straight-time salaries (exclusive of pay for overtime 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 employees surveyed receive more
than the rate shown; half receive less than the rate shown. The middle range is defined by 2 rates of pay; a fourth of the workers earn less than the lower of these rates and a fourth earn more than
the higher rate.
3 Transportation, communication, and other public utilities.
4 May include workers other than those presented separately.
5 Workers were distributed as follows: 8 at $230 to $240; and 2 at $250 to $260.
