W estmoreland Counties. The "w o rk ers within scope of study" e stim ates shown in this table provide a reasonably accu rate description of the size and com position of the labor force included in
the survey. The e stim ates are not intended, however, to serv e a s a b a sis of com parison with other employment indexes for the a re a to m easu re employment trends or levels since (1) planning
of wage surveys requ ires the use of establishm ent data com piled con siderably in advance of the pay roll period studied, and (2) sm all establishm ents are excluded from the scope of the survey.

An establishm ent is considered to have a contract covering all plantw orkers or
officew orkers if a m ajority of such w orkers a re covered by a labor-m anagem ent agreem ent.
Th erefore, a ll other plantw orkers or officew orkers are employed in establishm ents that either
do not have labor-m anagem ent con tracts in effect, or have contracts that apply to fewer than
half of their plantw orkers or officew orkers. E stim a tes a re not n e c e ssa rily represen tative
of the extent to which all w orkers in the a re a m ay be covered by the provisions of
labor-m anagem ent agreem en ts, because sm all establishm ents are excluded and the industrial
scope of the survey is lim ited.
