1 The L ou isville Standard Metropolitan Statistical A rea, as defined by the O ffice of Management and Budget (fo rm e rly the Bureau of the Budget) through January 1968, consists of Jefferson
County, Ky.; and C lark and Floyd Counties, Ind. The "w orkers within scope of study" estim ates shown in this table provide a reasonably accurate description o f the size and composition o f the
labor fo rc e included in the survey. The estim ates are not intended, however, to serve as a basis o f comparison with other employment indexes fo r the area to m easure employment trends or
levels since (1) planning o f wage surveys requires the use o f establishment data compiled considerably in advance of the payroll period studied, and (2) small establishments are excluded from
the scope o f the survey.
2 The 1967 edition of the Standard Industrial C lassification Manual was used in classifying establishments by industry division.
3 Includes all establishments with total employment at or above the minimum lim itation. 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 w orkers excluded from the separate plant and office categories.
5 Abbreviated to "public u tilities " in the A - and B -se rie s tables. Taxicabs and services incidental to water transportation w ere excluded.
6 This industry division is represented in estim ates fo r "a ll industries" and "nonmanufacturing" in the Series A tables, and fo r "all industries" in the Series B tables. Separate presentation
of data fo r this division is not made fo r one o r m ore of the following reasons: (1) Employment in the division 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 individualestablishment
7 Workers 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 estimate
fo r "a ll industries" in the Series B tables. Separate presentation of data fo r this division is not made for one or m ore o f 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 m em bership organizations (excluding religious
and charitable organizations); and engineering and architectural services.
A lm ost two-thirds of the workers within scope of survey in the Lou isville area were
employed in manufacturing firm s. The following presents the m ajor industry groups and
sp ecific industries as a percent of all manufacturing:

This information is based on estim ates of total employment derived from universe

The indexes and p ercen ta ges o f change, as m easu res of
change in a re a a v e ra g e s , a re influenced by:
(1) g en era l sa la ry and
w age changes, (2) m e r it or other in c re a s e s in pay r e c e iv e d by in d i
vidu al w o rk e rs w h ile in the sam e job , and (3) changes in a v e ra g e
w ages due to changes in the la b o r fo r c e resu ltin g fro m labor tu rn
o v e r , fo r c e expansions, fo r c e reductions, and changes in the p r o p o r
tions o f w o rk e rs em p loyed by establishm ents with d iffe re n t pay le v e ls .
Changes in the la b o r fo r c e can cause in c re a s e s o r d ec re a s e s in the
occupational a v e ra g e s without actual w age changes. It is con ceivab le
that even though a ll establish m en ts in an a rea gave w age in c re a s e s ,

The prim ary purpose of preparing job descriptions fo r the Bureau's wage surveys is to assist its field staff in classifying into appropriate
occupations w orkers who are employed under a variety of payroll titles and different work arrangements from establishment to establishment and
from area to area. This perm its the grouping of occupational wage rates representing comparable job content. Because of this emphasis on
interestablishment and interarea com parability of occupational content, the Bureau's job descriptions m ay d iffer significantly from those in use in
individual establishments or those prepared fo r 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, tem porary, and probationary w orkers.
