Riverside—
Ontario Standard Metropolitan Statistical A rea, as defined by the Bureau of the Budget through April 1966,
consists of R iverside and San Bernardino Counties. The "w orkers within scope of study" estimates shown in this table provide a reasonably accurate
description of the size and composition of the labor force included in the survey.
The estimates are not intended, however, to serve as a basis
of comparison with other employment indexes for 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 1957 revised edition of the Standard Industrial Classification Manual and the 1963 Supplement were used in classifying establishm ents by
industry division.
3 Includes all establishments with total employment at or above the minimum limitation. All outlets (within the area) of companies in such
industries as trade, finance, auto repair service, and motion picture theaters are considered as 1 establishment.
4 Includes all workers in all establishments with total employment (within the area) at or above the minimum limitation.
5 Taxicabs and services incidental to water transportation were excluded.
6 This industry division is represented in estim ates for "a ll industries" and "nonmanufacturing" in the Series A 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 sample was not designed initially to permit separate presentation, (3) response was insufficient or inadequate to
permit separate presentation, and (4) there is possibility of disclosure of individual establishment data.
7 H otels; personal services; business services; automobile repair shops; motion pictures; nonprofit membership organizations (excluding religious
and charitable organizations); and engineering and architectural services.

F o rty -six percent of the employees within scope of the survey in the San Bernardino—
River side—
Ontario area were employed in manufacturing firm s. The following table presents
the major industry groups and specific industries as a percent of all manufacturing:

1 Standard hours reflect the workweek for which employees receive their regular straight-time salaries (exclusive of pay for overtime at regular and/or premium rates), and the earnings correspond
to these weekly hours.
2 The mean is computed for each job by totaling the earnings of all workers and dividing by the number of workers.
The median designates position— half of the employees surveyed receive more
than the rate shown; half receive less than the rate shown.
The middle range is defined by 2 rates of pay; a fourth of the workers earn less than the lower of these rates and a fourth earn more than
the higher rate.
2 May include workers other than those presented separately.
4 Transportation, communication, and other public utilities.

Appendix. Occupational Descriptions

The primary 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 o f payroll titles
and different work arrangements from establishment to establishment and from area to area. This permits
the grouping of occupational wage rates representing comparable job content.
Because of this emphasis on
interestablishment and interarea com parability of occupational content, the Bureau's job descriptions may
differ significantly from those in use in individual establishments or those prepared for other purposes. In
applying these job descriptions, the Bureau's field economists are instructed to exclude working supervisors,
apprentices, learners, beginners, trainees, handicapped, part-tim e, temporary, and probationary woikers.

O F F IC E

BOOKKEEPING-MACHINE OPERATOR

ation usually involves a large number of carbon copies o f the bill
being prepared and is often done on a fanfold machine.

Class B. Keeps a record of one or more phases or sections of

ventory control, etc.
