1 The M em phis Standard M etropolitan Statistical A r e a , as defined by the Bureau of the Budget through A p r il 1967, consists of Shelby County, Tenn.; and Crittenden County, A rk .
The
"w o rk ers within scope o f study" estim ates shown in this table provide a reasonably accurate description of the size and composition of the labor force included in the survey.
The estimates are
not- intended, how ever, toserve as a basis of com parison with other employment indexes for the a re a to m easure employment trends or levels since (1 ) planning of wage surveys requires
the
use of establishm ent data com piled considerably in advance of the payroll period studied, and (2 ) sm all establishments a re excluded from the scope of the survey.
2 The 1967 edition of the Standard Industrial Classification Manual w as used in classifying establishments by industry division.
3 Includes a ll establishm ents with total employment at or above the minimum limitation. A l l outlets (within the a rea) of companies in such industries as trade, finance, auto repair service,
and motion picutre theaters a re considered as 1 establishment.
4 Includes executive, p rofession al, and other w orkers excluded from the separate plant and office categories.
5 Taxicabs ai d se rv ic e s incidental to w ater transportation w ere excluded.
M e m p h is' electric and gas utilities a re municipally operated and a re excluded by definition from the scope of
the study.
6 This industry division is represented in estimates for "a ll industries" and "nonmanufacturing" in the S eries A tables, and for "a ll industries" in the Series B tables.
Separate presentation
of data for this division is not made for one or m ore of the following reasons:
(1 ) Employment in the division is too sm all to provide enough data to m e rit separate study, (2 ) the sample was
not designed initially to perm it separate preseptation, (3 ) response w as insufficient or inadequate to perm it separate presentation, and (4 ) there is possibility of disclosure of individual
establishm ent data.
7 W o rk e rs from this entire industry division are represented in estimates for "a ll industries" and "nonmanufacturing" in the Series A tables, but from the re a l estate portion only in estimates
for "a ll in d ustries" in the
S eries B tables.
Separate presentation of data for this division is
not made for one or m ore of the reasons given in footnote 6 above.

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 May include workers other than those presented separately.

provisions for prem ium pay are classified under the first effective prem ium rate. F o r exam ple, a plan calling for time and one-half after 8 and double time after 10 hours would be considered
as time and on e-h alf after 8 hours. S im ilarly, a plan calling for no pay or pay at a regu lar rate after 35 hours and time and one-half after 40 hours would be considered as time and on e-h alf
after 40 hours.

6 Includes w ork ers in establishments exempt from legislative requirem ents regarding prem ium pay for overtime and w h ere, as a matter of policy, overtim e is not worked.
7 Under the principle of the fluctuating w orkweek, pay for overtim e w ork is determined by dividing
the weekly salary by the total number of hours worked during the week (to obtain the
base hourly rate for the week) and then applying the established overtim e pay ratio for overtim e hours worked.
Thus, the hourly rate of pay for overtim e de c rea se s as the number of hours
worked in creases.
Appendix. Occupational Descriptions
The primary 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-time, temporary, and probationary workers.
