The Bureau of Labor Statistics regularly conducts
areawide wage surveys in a number of important industrial
centers.
The studies, made from late fall to early spring,
relate to occupational earnings and related supplementary
benefits.
A prelim inary report is available on completion
of the study in each area, usually in the month following
the payroll period studied.
This bulletin provides addi
tional data not included in the earlier report.
A consoli
dated analytical bulletin summarizing the results of all of
the year’ s surveys is issued after completion of the final
area bulletin for the current round of surveys.

The "w ork ers within scope o f study" estim ates shown in this table provide
a reasonably accurate descrip tion of the size and com p osition o f the labor fo r c e included in the survey.
The estim ates are not intended, how ever, to
^erve as a basis of com p a rison with other area em ploym ent Indexes to m easure em ploym ent trends o r le ve ls since (1) planning of wage surveys req u ires
the use of establishm ent data com piled con sid era b ly in advance of the payroll p eriod studied, and (2) sm all establishm ents are excluded fro m the scope
of the survey.
2 The 1957 rev ised edition o f the Standard Industrial C la ssifica tion Manual was used in cla ssifyin g establishm ents by industry division .
M ajor
changes from the ea rlie r edition (used in the B ureau's labor m arket wage surveys conducted p rio r to July 1958) are the tran sfer o f m ilk pasteurization
plants and rea d y-m ixed con crete establishm ents fro m trade (w holesale or retail) to manufacturing, and the transfer o f radio and telev ision broadcasting
from s e rv ice s to the transportation, com m unication, and other public utilities division.
3 Includes all establishm ents with total em ploym ent at o r above the m in im u m -size lim itation (50 em p loyees).
A ll outlets (within the area) of
com panies in such industries as trade, finance, auto repair s e rv ice , and m otion -p ictu re theaters are con sid ered as 1 establishm ent.
4 Taxicabs and s e rv ice s incidental to water transportation w ere excluded.
5 This industry d ivision is represented in estim ates fo r "a ll in d u stries" and "nonm anufacturing" in the Series A tables.
Separate presentation
of data fo r this d ivision is not made fo r one o r m ore of the follow ing reasons: (1) Employment in the d ivision is too sm all to provide enough data
to m erit separate study, (2) the sam ple was not designed initially to perm it separate presentation, (3) response was insufficient or inadequate to perm it
separate presentation, (4) there is possib ility o f d isclo su re o f individual establishm ent data.
6 Hotels; p ersonal s e rv ice s ; business s e rv ice s ; automobile repair shops; m otion p ictures; nonprofit m em bership organizations; and engineering

Occupational Doscriptions
The primary purpose of preparing job descriptions for the Bureau’ s wage surveys is to a ssist its
field staff in classifyin g 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 is
essential in order to permit the grouping of occupational wage rates representing comparable job content.
Because of this emphasis on interestablishment and interarea comparability 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 workers,
part-time, temporary, and probationary workers.
