This is the third and final report analyzing and projecting the employment profile and estimating the future population of Utah's three Metropolitan Areas Salt Lake, Ogden, and Provo--as part of a transportation study of each area by the Utah State Highway Department and local government agencies in cooperation with the U» S. Bureau of Public Roads. The two previous studies of the series are: There was also a considerable saving of time and money in using the old c l a s s i fication for the Ogden Metropolitan Area by not having to redo the analysis of the State of Utah and the United States. The foregoing considerations no longer held for the Provo Metropolitan Area study. The U . S . Bureau of Labor Statistics Bulletin No. 1312, Employment and Earnings Statistics for the United States, 1909-1960. provides completely revised data, with new and better benchmarks, in accordance with the 1957 Standard Industrial Classification Manual; and the lack of employment diversification in the Provo Metropolitan Area, reflecting the much smaller labor market, does not permit the degree of refinement used in the two previous studies . Hence the nine standard classifications used by the Department of Employment Security were modified only to include a category of Defense. All analyses for the State of Utah and the United States, as well as the Provo Metropolitan Area, were made in terms of the revised data for classification of 10 categories rather than the 13 categories used in the Salt Lake and Ogden studies . Hence, although the Provo study is similar, it is not comparable to the other two studies in many respects. Lawrence Nabers and Jewell J. Rasmussen, Employment and Population Analysis and Projections Salt Lake City Metropolitan Area, Utah and United States (Bureau of Economic and Business Research University of Utah, September 1962), and Lawrence Nabers and Jewell J. Rasmussen, Employment and Population Analysis and Projections Ogden Metropolitan Area, Utah and United States (Bureau of Economic and Business Research, University of Utah, July 1963). When the Salt Lake Metropolitan Area study was undertaken, reports for the United States were still being made In accordance with the employment c l a s s i fication procedures of 1942 and 1945 Although data were available for the State of Utah and the Salt Lake Metropolitan Area in accordance with the Standard Industrial Classification Manual as revised in 1957, the unavailability of the U.S. data under this classification made necessary the decision to use the old classification. When the Ogden Metropolitan Area study was begun, the U S , data were available in accordance with the 1957 revision of the manual. However, inasmuch as the Ogden Metropolitan Area is contiguous to the Salt Lake Metropolitan Area, and thus closely interrelated in many ways with the latter, it was |
