Such a plan need not be

1 The Salt Lake City Standard Metropolitan Statistical A rea, as defined by the Bureau of the Budget through January 1968, consists of Davis and Salt Lake Counties.
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 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 easure 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 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 establishments by industry division.
3 Includes all establishments with total employment at or above the minimum lim itation. All outlets (within the area) of companies in such industries as trade, finance, auto repair service,
and motion picture theaters are considered as 1 establishm ent.

5 Abbreviated to "public u tilities" in the A - and B -s e r ie s tables. Taxicabs and services incidental to water transportation were excluded.
6 This industry division is represented in estim ates for "a ll in du stries" and "nonmanufacturing" in the Series A tables, and for "a l l indu stries" 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 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 possibility of disclosu re of individualestablishment data.
7 W orkers from this entire industry division are represented in estim ates for "a ll indu stries" and "nonmanufacturing" in the Series 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 for this division is not made for one or m ore of the reasons given in footnote 6 above.
8 Hotels and m otels; laundries and other personal service s; business serv ice s; automobile repair, rental, and parking; motion pictures; nonprofit m em bership organizations (excluding
religious and charitable organizations); and engineering and architectural serv ice s.




A lm ost tw o-fifths of the w orkers within scope of the survey in the Salt Lake City
area were employed in manufacturing firm s . The following presents the m ajor industry
groups and specific industries as a percent of all manufacturing:

Proportions in various industry divisions m ay
differ from proportions based on the results of the survey as shown in table 1 above.

NOTE: Previously published indexes for the Salt Lake City area used D ecem ber I960 as the base
period.
They can be converted to the new base period by dividing them by the corresponding index
numbers for D ecem ber 1967 on the Decem ber I960 base period as shown in the table.
(The result
should be multiplied by 100.)
