In each o f the 84 2 areas cu rren tly surveyed , data are obtained from representative establishm ents within six broad industry d iv is ion s : M anufac­turing; tran sportation , com m unication , and other public u tilities ; w holesale trade; re ta il trade; finance, in su ran ce , and rea l estate; and se r v ice s . M ajor industry groups excluded from these studies are governm ent operations and the construction and extractive in du stries . Establishm ents having few er than a p re sc r ib e d num ber o f w ork ers are om itted becau se o f in su fficien t em p loy ­ment in the occupations studied. Separate tabulations are provided fo r each o f the broad industry d iv is ion s which m eet publication c r ite r ia .

These surveys are conducted on a sam ple b a sis . The sam pling p roced u res involve detailed stratifica tion o f all establishm ents within the scope o f an individual area survey by industry and num ber o f em p loyees . F rom this stratified u niverse a probability sam ple is se lected , with each establishm ent having a predeterm in ed chance o f se lection . To obtain optim um accu ra cy at m inim um c o s t , a g rea ter p roportion o f large than sm all estab ­lishm ents is se lected . When data are com bined , each establishm ent is weighted accord in g to its probability o f se lection , so that unbiased estim ates are generated. F or exam ple, i f one out o f four establishm ents is se le cted , it is given a weight o f four to represen t it s e lf plus three oth ers. An alternate o f the sam e or ig in a l probability is chosen in the sam e in d u stry -s ize c la s s i ­fication i f data are not available from the or ig in a l sam ple m em ber. If no suitable substitute is availab le, additional weight is assigned to a sam ple m em ber that is s im ilar to the m issin g unit.O ccupations and earnings

The percen t in cre a se s presented in table A -7 are based on changes in average hourly earn ings fo r establishm ents reporting the trend job s in both the curren t and previou s year (m atched estab lishm ents). The data are adjusted to rem ove the e ffe cts on average earn ings o f em ploym ent shifts am ong estab lishm ents and tu rnover o f establishm ents included in survey sam ples.

In periods o f in crea sed h iring , fo r exam ple, new em p loyees enter at the bottom of the range, d ep ress in g the average without a change in wage rates .

The percen t changes relate to wage changes between the indicated dates. When the tim e span between su rveys is other than 12 m onths, annual ra tes are shown. (It is assum ed that w ages in cre a se at a constant rate between su rveys.)

1 The Nassau—Suffolk Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area, as defined by the Office of Management and Budget through February 1974, consists of Nassau and Suffolk Counties. The "workers 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. Estimates are not intended, however, for comparison with other employment indexes to measure employment trends or levels since (1) planning of wage surveys requires 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 1967 edition of the Standard Industrial Classification Manual was used in classifying establishments by industry division.3 Includes all establishments with total employment at or above the minimum limitation. All outlets (within the area) of companies in industries such as trade,

finance, auto repair service, and motion picture theaters are considered as 1 establishment.4 Includes all workers in all establishments with total employment (within the area) at or above the minimum limitation.5 Abbreviated to "public utilities" in the A -series tables. Taxicabs and services incidental to water transportation are excluded.6 Abbreviated to "finance" in the A -series tables.7 Hotels and motels; laundries and other personal services; business services; automobile repair, rental, and parking; motion pictures; nonprofit membership

organizations (excluding religious and charitable organizations); and engineering and architectural services.
