1 The Phoenix Standard M etropolitan Statistical A rea, as defined by the Bureau of the Budget through January 1968, con sists of M aricopa County. The "w orkers within scope of study"
estim ates shown in this table provide a reasonably accurate d escrip tion of the size and com position of the labor fo rce included in the
survey. Theestim ates are
not intended, however, to serve
as a basis of com parison with other employm ent indexes fo r the area to m easure employm ent trends or levels since ( l ) planning of wage surveys requires the use of establishm ent data com piled
con siderably in advance of the p a yroll p eriod 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 em ploym ent at or above the minimum lim itation. A ll outlets (within the area) of com panies in such industries as trade, finance, auto repair service,
and m otion picture theaters are con sidered as 1 establishm ent.
4 Includes executive, profession a l, and other w orkers excluded from the separate plant and office ca tegories.
5 Taxicabs and serv ices incidental to water transportation were excluded. Several e le ctric utilities (supplying less than half thee le ctric consum ption in M aricopa County) were publicly
operated and excluded by definition from the scope of the study.
6 This industry division is represented in estim ates fo r "a ll industries" and "nonm anufacturing" in the Series A tables, and fo r "all industries" in the Series B tables. Separate presentation
of data for 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 sam ple was
not designed initially to perm it separate presentation, (3) response was insufficient or inadequate to perm it separate presentation, and (4) there is possib ility of d isclo su re of individual
establishm ent data.
7 W orkers from this entire industry division are represented in estim ates fo r "a ll industries" and "nonm anufacturing" in the S eries A tables, but from the real estate portion only in estim ates
for "a ll industries" in the Series B tables.
Separate presentation of data fo r this division is not made fo r one or
m ore of the reasons given in footnote 6 above.
8 Hotels and m otels; laundries and other p ersonal se rv ice s ; business se rv ice s ; automobile repair, rental, and parking; m otion p ictu res; nonprofit m em bership organizations (excluding religious
and charitable organizations); and engineering and architectural se rv ice s.
A lm ost one-h alf of the w orkers within scope of the survey in the Phoenix area were
em ployed in manufacturing firm s.
The following presents the m ajor industry groups and
sp ecific industries as a percent of all manufacturing:

Occupational Descriptions
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 em ployed 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 com parable job content.
Because of this emphasis on
interestablishm ent and interarea com parability of occupational content, the Bureau's job descriptions may differ significantly from those in use in
individual establishm ents or those prepared for other purposes.
In applying these job descriptions, the Bureau's field econom ists are instructed
to exclude working supervisors; apprentices; learners; beginners; trainees; and handicapped, p art-tim e, tem porary, and probationary w orkers.

program .
Converts statements of business p roblem s, typically prepared by a system s analyst, into
a sequence of detailed instructions which are required to solve the problem s by automatic data
processin g equipment. Working from charts or diagram s, the program er develops the p recise
instructions which, when entered into the com puter system in coded language, cause the manipu
lation of data to achieve d esired results. Work involves m ost of the follow ing: Applies knowledge
of computer capabilities, m athem atics, logic em ployed by com puters, and particular subject matter
involved to analyze charts and diagram s of the problem to be program ed. Develops sequence
