1 The Philadelphia Standard M etropolitan Statistical A rea , as defined by the Bureau of the Budget through January 1968, con sists of Three
Inner Counties of Delaware and Philadelphia Counties, P a ., and Camden County, N .J .; and Five Outer Counties of Bucks, C hester, and Montgom ery
Counties, P a ., and Burlington and G loucester Counties, N .J. The "w o rk ers within scope of study" estim ates shown in this table provide a reasonably
accurate description of the size and com position of the labor force included in the survey. The estim ates are not intended, however, to serve as
a basis of com parison with other employment indexes for the area to m easu re employment trends or lev els 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 establishm ents are excluded
from the scope of the survey.
2 The 1967 edition of the Standard Industrial C lassification Manual was used in classifying establishm ents by industry division.
3 Includes all establishm ents with total employment at or above the m inim um lim itation. A ll outlets (within the area) of com panies in such
industries as trade, finance, auto repair s erv ice , and m otion picture theaters are considered as 1 establishm ent.
4 Includes all w orkers in all establishm ents with total employment (within the area) at or above the m inim um lim itation.
5 Abbreviated to "public u tilitie s " in the A -s e r i e s tables.
Taxicabs and service s incidental to water transportation were excluded. Local
transit in the city of Philadelphia is governm entally operated and excluded by definition from the scope of the study.
6 Abbreviated to "fin a n c e " in the A -s e r i e s tab les.
7 Hotels and m otels; laundries and other personal se rv ice s; business se rv ice s; automobile rep air, rental, and parking; motion pictures;
nonprofit m em bership organizations (excluding religious and charitable organizations); and engineering and architectural se rv ice s.




A lm ost th ree-fifth s of the w orkers within scope of the survey in the Philadelphia 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:

This inform ation is based on estim ates of total employment derived from universe m aterials compiled prior to actual survey.
