OCCUPATIONAL WAGE SUR

I n t r o d u c t i o n

The Atlanta a rea is one of sev era l im portant industrial cen ters in w hich the B ureau of L abor Statistics has conducted su rveys o f occu pation a l earnings and related wage benefits on an areaw ide b a s is . In each a rea , data are obtained by p erson a l v is its of Bureau fie ld agents to representative estab lishm ents within 6 broad industry d iv is ion s : M anufacturing; tra n sp orta tion (excluding ra ilro a d s ), com m unication , and other public u tilit ie s ; w h olesa le trade; re ta il trade; finance, insurance, and r&al estate; and s e r v ic e s .

These su rveys are conducted on a sam ple basis because o f the u n n ecessa ry c o s t involved in surveying a il estab lishm ents, and to ensure prom p t publication o f resu lts . To obtain a p p ro p ria te a ccu ra cy at m inim um cost , a g reater prop ortion of la rge than of sm a ll estab lishm ents is studied. In com bin ing the data, h ow ev er, a ll estab lish m en ts a re given their appropriate w eight. E stim ates a re p resen ted th ere fore as relating to a ll e sta b lish m ents in the industry grouping and area , but not to those below the m inim um s iz e studied . 2

1 The Atlanta Metropolitan Area (Cobb, DeKalb, and Fulton 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. The estimates are not intended, however, to serve as a basis of comparison with other area employment indices to measure employment trends or levels since (1) planning of wage surveys requires the use of establishment data compiled considerably in advance of the pay period studied, and (2) small establishments are excluded from the scope of the survey.

Includes all establishments with total employment at or above the minimum size limitation. All outlets (within the area) of companies in such industries as trade, finance, auto repair service, and motion-picture theaters are considered as one establishment.

Includes executive, technical, professional and other workers excluded from the separate office and plant categories.Also excludes taxicabs, and services incidental to water transportation included in earlier studies.

^ Estimate relates to real estate establishments only.Hotels; personal services; business services; automobile repair shops; radio broadcasting and television; motion pictures; nonprofit membership organizations; and engineering

and architectural services.7 This industry division is represented in estimates for "all industries" and "nonmanufacturing" in the Series A and B tables, although coverage was insufficient to justify separate

presentation of data.
