1 The Sioux F a lls Standard Metropolitan Statistical A rea, as defined by the Bureau of the Budget through January 1968, consists of Minnehaha County. 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 establishm ents by industry division.
3 Includes all establishm ents with total employment at or above the m inim um 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 establishm ent.
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 r ie s tables. Taxicabs and services incidental to water transportation w ere excluded.
6 This industry division is represented in estim ates for "a l l in du stries" and "nonmanufacturing" in the Series A tables, and for "a ll in du stries" in the Series B tables. Separate presentation
of data for this division is not m ade 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 perm it separate presentation, (3) response was insufficient or inadequate to perm it separate presentation, and (4) there is possibility of disclosu re of individual establishment data.
7 W orkers from this entire industry division are represented in estim ates for "a l l in du stries" and "nonmanufacturing" in the Series A tables, but from the real estate portion only in
estim ates for "a ll in du stries" in the Series B tab les. 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 serv ice s; business serv ice s; automobile rep air, rental, and parking; motion pictures; nonprofit m em bership organizations (excluding
religious and charitable organizations); and engineering and architectural s erv ice s.
Alm ost one-half of the w orkers within scope of the survey in the Sioux F alls area
w ere employed in manufacturing firm s .
The following presents the m ajor industry groups
and specific industries as a percent of all manufacturing:

The p rim ary purpose of preparing job descriptions for the B ureau 's wage surveys is to a s s is t its field staff in classifying into appropriate
occupations w orkers who are employed under a variety of payroll titles and different work arrangem ents from establishm ent to establishm ent and
from area to area.
This perm its the grouping of occupational wage rates representing com parable job content.
B ecause of this em phasis on
interestablishm ent and interarea com parability of occupational content, the B ureau's job descriptions m ay differ significantly from those in use in
individual establishm ents or those prepared for other purposes.
In applying these job descriptions, the B ureau's field econom ists are instructed
to exclude working su p ervisors; apprentices; le a rn e rs; beginners; trainees; and handicapped, p a rt-tim e , tem porary, and probationary w orkers.
