These areas are Binghamton (New York portion only); Rochester (office occupations only); Syracuse; and Utica—Rome. In addition, the Bureau conducts more limited area studies in 77 areas at the request of the Wage and Hour Division of the U. S. Department of Labor.

1 The Rockford Standard Metropolitan Statistical A rea, as defined by the Bureau of the Budget through January 1968, consists o f Boone and Winnebago Counties. The "workers within scope of study" estimates shown in this table provide a reasonably accurate description of the size and com position of the labor force included in the survey. The estimates are not intended, however, to serve as a basis of com parison with other employment indexes for the area to m easure employment trends or levels since (1) planning of wage surveys requires the use of establishment data com piled 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 C lassification 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) o f companies in such

industries as trade, finance, auto repair serv ice , 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 were excluded.6 This industry division is represented in estimates for "all industries" and "nonmanufacturing" in the Series A tables. Separate presentation

of data for this division is not made for one or m ore o f the following reasons: (1) Employment in the division is too small to provide enough data to m erit separate study, (2) the sample was not designed initially to perm it separate presentation, (3) response was insufficient or inadequate to perm it separate presentation, and (4) there is possibility of d isclosure of individual establishment data.

7 Hotels and m otels; 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 .

Four-fifths of the workers within scope of the survey in the Rockford area wereemployed in manufacturing firm s. The following presents the m ajor industry groups andspecific industries as a percent of all manufacturing:

This information is based on estimates of total employment derived from universem aterials compiled prior to actual survey. Proportions in various industry divisions maydiffer from proportions based on the results o f the survey as shown in table 1 above.

1 Revised estimate.

NOTE: Most previously published indexes for the Rockford area used May 1961 as the base period.They can be converted to the new base period by dividing them by the corresponding index numbers for May 1967 on the May 1961 base period as shown in the table. (The result should be multiplied by 100.)
