1 T h e K a n s a s City Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area, as defined by the
Office of M a n a g e m e n t and Budget through F e b r u a r y 1974, consists of Cass, Clay,
Jackson, Platte, and R a y Counties, Mo.; and Jo hn so n and Wyandotte Counties, Kans.
T h e "w or k e r s within scope of study" estimates s h o w n 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, for co mp a r i s o n with
other e m p l o y m e n t indexes to m e a s u r e e m p l o y m e n t trends or levels since (1) planning
of w a g e surveys requires establishment data compiled considerably in advance of
the payroll period studied, and (2) small establishments are excluded f r o m the scope
of the survey.
2 T h e 1972 edition of the Standard Industrial Classification M a n u a l w a s
used in classifying establishments by industry division. H o we ve r, all go v e r n m e n t
operations are excluded f r o m the scope of the survey.
3 Includes all establishments with total e m p l o y m e n t at or above the m i n i m u m
limitation. All outlets (within the area) of c o mp an ie s in industries such as trade,
finance, auto repair service, and mo ti on picture theaters are considered as 1
establishment.




4 Includes all w o r k e r s in all establishments with total e m p l o y m e n t (within
the area) at or above the m i n i m u m limitation.
5 Abbreviated to "public utilities" in the A-series tables. Taxicabs and
services incidental to water transportation are excluded. T h e K a n s a s City transit
sy s t e m is municipally operated and is excluded f r o m the scope of the survey.
6 This division is represented in estimates for "all industries" and "non­
manufacturing" in the A-series tables. Separate presentation of data is not m a d e
for one or m o r e of the following reasons: (1) E m p l o y m e n t is too small to provide
enough data to me ri t separate study, (2) the s a m p l e w a s not designed initially to
permit separate presentation, (3) response w a s insufficient or inadequate to permit
separate presentation, and (4) there is possibility of disclosure of individual
establishment data.
7 Hotels and motels; laundries and other personal services; business services;
automobile repair, rental, and parking; m o ti on pictures; nonprofit m e m b e r s h i p
organizations (excluding religious and charitable organizations); and engineering and
architectural services.
