Introduction to the w ork sch edules (rounded to the n ea rest half hour) fo r which stra ig h t-tim e sa la rie s are paid; average w eekly earnings fo r these occu pation s have been rounded to the n ea rest half d o lla r. T his area is 1 o f 82 labor m arkets in which the U .S . D e partm ent o f L a b o r 's B ureau o f L abor Statistics has conducted s u r veys o f occu p ation al earnings and related wage benefits on an a r e a wide b a s is . In this a re a , data were obtained by personal v isits of Bureau fie ld econ o m ists to representative establishm ents within six broad industry d iv ision s: M anufacturing; transportation, com m u n ica tion, and other public u tilitie s; w holesale trade; retail trade; finance, in su ran ce, and rea l esta te; and s e r v ic e s . M ajor industry groups exclu ded fr o m these studies are governm ent operations and the c o n stru ction and ex tra ctiv e in d u stries. E stablishm ents having few er than a p r e s c r ib e d num ber o f w ork ers are om itted a lso b ecau se they tend to furnish in su fficien t em ploym ent in the occupations studied to warrant in clu sion . Separate tabulations are provided fo r each o f the broad industry d iv ision s which m eet publication c r it e r ia . A verage earnings o f m en and wom en are p resen ted separately fo r se le cte d occu pation s in which both sex es are com m on ly em ployed. D iffe re n ce s in pay le v e ls o f m en and w om en in these occupations are la rg e ly due to (1) d iffe re n ce s in the distribu tion of the sexes among in du stries and esta b lish m en ts; (2) d iffe re n ce s in s p e c ific duties p e r fo rm e d , although the occu p ation s are approp riately c la s s ifie d within the sam e su rvey jo b d e scrip tion ; and (3) d iffe re n ce s in length o f s e r v ic e o r m e r it re v ie w when individual s a la rie s are adjusted on this b a s is . L on ger average s e r v ic e o f m en would resu lt in higher average pay when both sex es are em p loyed within the sam e rate range. Job d escrip tion s used in c la ss ify in g em p loyees in these su rveys are usu ally m ore g en era lized than those used in individual establishm ents to allow fo r m in or d iffe re n ce s among establish m en ts in sp e cific duties pe r fo rm e d . T hese su rveys are conducted on a sam ple b asis because o f the u n n ecessary c o s t in volved in surveying all establishm ents. To obtain optim um a ccu ra cy at m inim um c o s t, a greater p roportion o f large than o f sm a ll establish m en ts is studied. In com bining the data, how e v e r , all establish m en ts are given their appropriate weight. E stim ates based on the establish m en ts studied are presented, th e re fo re , as r e lating to all establish m en ts in the industry grouping and a rea , e x cep t fo r those b elow the m inim um size studied. O ccupational em ploym ent estim ates rep resen t the total in all establish m en ts within the scop e o f the study and not the num ber actu ally su rveyed . B ecau se o f d iffe re n ce s in occu pation al stru ctu re among esta b lish m en ts, the estim a tes o f occu pation al em ploym ent obtained fr o m the sam ple o f establish m en ts studied serve only to indicate the rela tiv e im portan ce o f the jo b s studied.

O ccupations and E arnings The occu pation s s e le cte d fo r study are com m on to a v a riety o f m anufacturing and nonm anufacturing industries.

Appendix A : Changes in Occupational Descriptions stead of two (class A and B). The revised description for keypunch operator groups these workers into two defined classes (A and B) instead of a single category. Previously data were presented separately for general stenographers and technical stenographers. The revision combines general stenographers, with more responsible duties, and technical stenographers to form a new senior stenographer category; other general stenographers are maintained in that classification. Since the Bureau's last survey in this area, occupational descriptions for three office jobs were revised in order to obtain salary information for more sp ecific categories. Therefore, data presented for these jobs in table A -l are not comparable to data presented in last year's bulletin. Revisions were made in the descriptions for file clerks, key punch operators, and stenographers. The revised description for file clerk groups these workers into three levels (class A, B, and C) in The revised occupational descriptions used this year are in cluded in appendix B. 21 Appendix B: Occupalional Descriptions The primary purpose of preparing job descriptions for the Bureau’ s wage surveys is to assist its field staff in classifying into appropriate occupations workers who are employed under a variety of payroll titles and different work arrangements from establishment to establishment and from area to area. This is essential in order to permit the grouping of occupational wage rates representing comparable job content. Because of this emphasis on interestablishment and interarea comparability of occupational content, the Bureau’ s job descriptions may differ significantly from those in use in individual establishments or those prepared for other purposes. In applying these job descriptions, the Bureau’ s field economists are in structed to exclude working supervisors, apprentices, learners, beginners, trainees, handicapped, part-time, temporary, and probationary workers.
