The "w orkers within scope of study" estimates shown in this table provide a reasonably accurate description of the size and composition of the labor force included in the survey. The estimates are not intended, however, to serve as a basis of comparison with other area employment indexes to measure employment trends or levels since (l) planning of wage surveys requires the use of establishment data compiled considerably in advance of the payroll period studied, and (2) small establishments are excluded from the scope of the survey. 2 The 1957 revised edition of the Standard Industrial Classification Manual was used in classifying establishments by industry division. Major changes from the earlier edition (used in the Bureau's labor market wage surveys conducted prior to July 1958) are the transfer of m ilk pasteurization plants and ready-m ixed concrete establishments from trade (wholesale or retail) to manufacturing, and the transfer of radio and television broadcasting from services to the transportation, communication, and other public utilities division. 3 Includes all establishments with total employment at or above the m inim um -size limitation (50 em ployees). All outlets (with in the area) of companies in such industries as trade, finance, auto repair service, and motion-picture theaters are considered as 1 establishment. 4 T a x ic a b s and s e r v ic e s in cid en tal to w ater tra n sp o rta tio n w ere exclu d ed . 5 This industry, division is represented in estim ates for "a ll industries" and "nonmanufacturing" in the Series A tables, although coverage was insufficient to justify separate presentation of data. 6 Hotels; personal services; business services; automobile repair shops; motion pictures; nonprofit m embership organizations; and engineering and architectural services.
