1 The Miam i 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 Dade County. The "w orkers within scope of study" estim ates shown in this table provide a reasonably accurate
description of the size and composition of the labor fo rce included in the survey. The estim ates are not intended, how ever, to serve as a basis of
comparison with other employment indexes fo r the area to measure 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 rep air service, and motion picture theaters are considered as 1 establishment.
4 Includes all w orkers in all establishments with total employment (within the a rea) 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 w ater transportation w ere excluded. M iam i's
transit system is municipally operated and is 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 Series A tables. Separate presentation of
data fo r 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 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.




One-fourth of the w orkers within scope of the survey in the Miami area w ere
employed in manufacturing firm s. The following presents the m ajor industry groups and
specific industries as a percent of a ll manufacturing:
