Appendix: Occupational Descriptions The primary purpose of preparing job descriptions for the Bureau’ s wage surveys is to a s s i s t its field sta ff in classify in g into appropriate occupations workers who are employed under a variety of payroll title s and different work arrangements from establishm ent to establishm ent and from area to area. This is e sse n tia l in order to permit the grouping of occupational wage rates representing comparable job content. B ecau se of this em phasis on interestablishm ent and interarea comparability of occupational content, the Bureau’ s job descriptions may differ significantly from those in use in individual establishm ents or those prepared for other purposes. In applying these job description s, the Bureau’ s field econom ists are in structed to exclude working supervisors, apprentices, learners, beginners, trainees, handicapped, part-time, temporary, and probationary workers.
