1 The Manchester Standard Metropolitan Statistical A re a , as defined by the Office of Management and Budget (fo rm e rly the Bureau of the
Budget) through January 1968, consists of the city of Manchester; the towns of Bedford and Goffstown in Hillsborough County; and Hooksett in
M errim ack County. The "w orkers within scope of study" estim ates shown in this table provide a reasonably accurate description of the size and
composition o f the labor fo rce 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 m easure 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) sm all 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 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 a ll w orkers in all establishments with total employment (within the area) at or above the minimum lim itation.
5 Abbreviated to "public u tilities " in the A -s e r ie s tables. Taxicabs and services incidental to water transportation w ere excluded.
6 This industry division is represented in estimates fo r "a ll industries" and "nonmanufacturing" in the Series A 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 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 establishment data.
7 Hotels and m otels; laundries and other personal services; business services; automobile rep air, rental, and parking; motion pictures;
nonprofit membership organizations (excluding religious and charitable organizations); and engineering and architectural services.
Tw o-thirds of the w orkers within scope of the survey in the Manchester area w ere
employed in manufacturing firm s. The following presents the m ajor 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 of 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, tem porary, and probationary workers.

of data can be tested by using a few routine checks. Typically, the program deals with
routine record-keeping type operations.
