1 The Tampa—
St. Petersburg Standard M etropolitan Statistical A rea, as defined by the O ffice of Management and Budget (fo rm e rly the Bureau of the Budget) through January 1968, consists
of Hillsborough and Pin ellas Counties. 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 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 a ll 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 A bbreviated to "public u tilities " in the A - and B -s e rie s tables. Taxicabs and services incidental to w ater transportation w ere excluded. The Tampa and St. Petersburg transit systems
are municipally operated and are excluded by definition from the scope of the survey.
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 fo r this division is not made fo r 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 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 inestimates
fo r " a ll industries" in the Series B tables. Separate presentation of data fo r 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 mem bership organizations (excluding religious
and charitable organizations); and engineering and architectural services.
A lm ost two-fifths of the w orkers within scope of the survey in the Tampa—
St.
Petersbu rg 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:

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.
