The "w o rk ers within scope of stud y" estim ates shown in this table provide a reasonably accurate description of the size and com position of the labor force included in the survey. The estim ates are not intended, however, to s erv e as a basis of com parison with other em ployment indexes for the area to m easu re em ployment trends or levels since (1) planning of wage surveys requires the use of establishm ent data com piled 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 s e r v ic e , and m otion picture theaters are considered as 1 establishm ent. 4 Includes a ll w orkers in a ll establishm ents with total em ployment (within the area) at or above the m inim um lim itation. 5 Abbreviated to "public u tilitie s " in the A -s e r i e s tables. Taxicabs and serv ice s incidental to water transportation w ere excluded. 6 This industry division is represented in estim ates for "a ll in d u strie s" and "nonm anufacturing" in the Series A tables. Separate presentation of data for this division is not m ade for one or m o re of the following reaso n s: (1) Em ploym ent 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 p erm it separate presentation, (3) response was insufficient or inadequate to perm it separate presentation, and (4) there is p o ssib ility of d isclosu re of individual establishm ent data. 7 Hotels and m o te ls; laundries and other personal s e rv ic e s ; business s e rv ic e s ; automobile rep a ir, ren tal, and parking; motion pictures; nonprofit m em bership organizations (excluding religious and charitable organizations); and engineering and architectural se r v ic e s.

Appendix. Occupational Descriptions The prim 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 establishment and from area to area . This perm its the grouping of occupational wage rates representing com parable job content. Because of this emphasis on interestablishm ent and interarea com parability of occupational content, the Bureau's job descriptions may 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 sup ervisors; apprentices; learn ers; beginners; trainees; and handicapped, p a rt-tim e, tem porary, and probationary w orkers.
