1 The San Diego Standard Metropolitan Statistical A re a , as defined by the O ffice of Management and Budget (fo rm e rly the Bureau of the Budget) through January 1968, consists of San Diego
County. The "w ork ers within scope of study" estim ates shown in this table provide a reasonably accurate description of the size and composition of the labor fo rce included in the survey. The
estim ates are not intended, how ever, to serve as a basis of comparison with other employment indexes fo r 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 establishments a re excluded from the scope of the survey.

3 Includes all establishments with total employment at or above the minimum lim itation. A ll 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 executive, professional, and other w orkers excluded from the separate plant and office categories.
5 Abbreviated to "public u tilities " in the A - and B -s e rie s tables. San D iego's transit system is municipally operated and is excluded by definition from the scope of the survey. Taxicabs
and services incidental to w ater transportation w ere excluded.
6 This industry division is represented in estim ates fo r " a ll industries" and "nonmanufacturing" in the Series A tables, and fo r "a ll 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 small to provide enough data to m erit separate study, (2) the sample 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 disclosure of individual establishment data.
7 W orkers from this entire industry division are represented in estimates fo r "a ll industries" and "nonmanufacturing" in the Series A tables, but from the rea l estate portion only in estim ates
fo r " a ll industries" in the Series B tables. Separate presentation of data for 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 personal services; business services; automobile rep air, rental, and parking; motion pictures; nonprofit m embership organizations (excluding religious
and charitable organizations); and engineering and architectural services.
Alm ost one-half of the workers within scope of the survey in the San Diego
area w ere employed in manufacturing firm s. The following presents the m ajor industry
groups and specific industries as a percent of a ll manufacturing.

Appendix. 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 employed 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 comparable job content. Because of this emphasis on
interestablishment and interarea com parability of occupational content, the Bureau's job descriptions may d iffer 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; and handicapped, part-tim e, tem porary, and probationary workers.

corporate-w ide functional activity (e.g., marketing, research, operations, industrial rela tions, etc.) or~a m ajor geographic or organizational segment (e.g., a regional headquarters;
a m ajor division) o f a company that employs, in all, over 5,000 but few er than 25,000

stenographers, rather than secretaries as described above, to this lev el of supervisory or
nonsupervisory w orker.)
Examples
a.
Positions which do not m eet the "personal" secreta ry concept described above;
b.
Stenographers not fully trained in secreta ria l type duties;
c. Stenographers serving as o ffice assistants to a group o f professional, technical, or

responsible and discretionary tasks as described in the secreta ry job definition.

nical, adm inistrative, supervisory, or specialized c le rica l duties which are not typical of

dures, file s, workflow, etc. Uses this knowledge in perform ing stenographic duties and
responsible cle rica l tasks such as maintaining followup files; assembling m aterial for reports,
