An establishment was considered as having a policy if it met either of the following
conditions: (1 ) Operated late shifts at the time o f the survey, or (2 ) had formal provisions covering
late shifts. An establishment was considered as having formal provisions if it (1 ) had operated late
shifts during the 12 months prior to the survey, or (2 ) had provisions in written form for operating
late shifts.

2 The temporary disability laws in California and Rhode Island do not require employer
contributions.
3 An establishment was considered as having a formal plan if it established at least the
minimum number of days of sick leave available to each employee.
Such a plan need not be
written, but informal sick leave allowances, determined on an individual basis, were excluded.

1 The San F ran cisco—Oakland Standard Metropolitan Statistical A re a consists of Alam eda, Contra Costa, M arin, San F ran cisco, San Mateo, and Solano Counties. The "w ork ers within scope
of study" estimates shown in this table provide a reasonably accurate description of the size and composition of the la b or force included in the survey. The estimates a re not intended, however,
to serve as a basis of com parison with other employment indexes fo r the a re a to m easure employment trends or lev els since (1) planning of wage surveys req uires the use of establishment data
compiled considerably in advance of the payroll period studied, and (2) sm all establishments a re excluded from the scope of the survey.
2 The 1957 revised edition of the Standard Industrial C lassification Manual was used in classifying establishments by industry division.
3 Includes a ll establishments with total employment at or above the minimum limitation. A ll outlets (within the a re a ) of companies in such industries as trade, finance, auto rep air service,
and motion picture theaters a re considered as 1 establishment.
4 Includes executive, professional, and other w orkers excluded fro m the separate office and plant categories.
5 Taxicabs and services incidental to w ater transportation w ere excluded. The lo cal transit system s in the San F ran cisco—Oakland a re a a re municipally operated and are excluded by
definition from the scope of the study.
6 Estimate relates to re a l estate establishments only. W o rk ers fro m the entire industry division a re represented in the Series A tables, but fro m the re a l estate portion only in "a ll
industry" estimates in the S eries B tables.
7 Hotels; personal services; business services; automobile re p a ir shops; motion pictures; nonprofit m em bership organizations (excluding religious and charitable organizations); and engineering
and architectural services.
8 This industry division is represented in estim ates fo r " a ll ind ustries" and "nonmanufacturing" in the Series A tables, and for "a ll ind ustries" in the Series B tables. Separate presentation
of data fo r this division is not made fo r one or m ore of the following reasons: (1) Employment in the division is too sm all 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 disclosure of individual
establishment data.

Changes in the lab or fo r c e can cause

with qualifying lengths of service. Typical of such exclusions are plans in the steel, aluminum, and can industries.
2 Includes data for services in addition to those industry divisions shown separately.
3 Transportation, communication, and other public utilities.
4 Finance, insurance, and rea l estate.

7 Includes payments other than "length of time, " such as percentage of annual earnings or flat-su m payments, converted to an equivalent time basis; for example,
a payment of 2 percent of annual earnings was considered as 1 w eek's pay. P eriods of service w ere a rb it ra r ily chosen and do not n e cessarily reflect the individual
provisions for progressions. F o r exam ple, the changes in proportions indicated at 10 y e a rs ' service include changes in provisions occurring between 5 and 10 years.

Appendix A. Changes in Occupational Descriptions

D raftsm an. The revised descriptions for draftsman (class A, B,
and C; and draftsm an-tracer) replace the previous designations for drafts­
man (leader, senior, and junior; and tracer) and emphasize the distinction
between drafting and design skills. Therefore, if data are presented for
any of these occupations, such data are not com parable to data previously
published. In areas where current em ploym ent and earnings information
was collected largely by m ail this year and w ill be collected by a personal
visit by Bureau field economists next year, data for these occupations w ill
be presented next year.

Since the Bureau's last survey, occupational descriptions for
draftsm an and switchboard operator were revised in order to obtain salary
inform ation for more specific categories.

Switchboard operator. The revised description for switchboard
operator arranges these workers into two defined classes (A and B) instead
of a single category, clarifying the criteria of types of calls handled and
types of inform ation provided. The com bination of class A and class B
data, where both are published, is com parable to the single designation,
if previously published.




The revised occupational descriptions are included in appendix B.

22

Appendix B. Occupational 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 permits
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 instructed to exclude working supervisors,
apprentices, learners, beginners, trainees, handicapped, part-time, temporary, and probationary workers.

BILLER, MACHINE

BOOKKEEPING-MACHINE OPERATOR

Prepares statements, bills, and invoices on a machine other than
an ordinary or electromatic typewriter. May also keep records as to

which may or may not be computed on the billing machine, and
totals which are automatically accumulated by machine. The oper­
ation usually involves a large number of carbon copies of the bill
being prepared and is often done on a fanfold machine.

Class B. Keeps a record of one or more phases or sections of
a set of records usually requiring little knowledge of basic book­
keeping. Phases or sections include accounts payable, payroll, cus­
tomers' accounts (not including a simple type of billing described
under biller, machine), cost distribution, expense distribution, in­
ventory control, etc. May check or assist in preparation of trial
balances and prepare control sheets for the accounting department.

Biller, machine (bookkeeping machine). Uses a bookkeeping
machine (Sundstrand, Elliott Fishe?. Remington Rand, e tc ., which

strengths, stresses, etc. Receives initial instructions, requirements,
and advice from supervisor. Completed work is checked for technical
adequacy.
Class C. Prepares detail drawings of single units or parts for
engineering, construction, manufacturing, or repair purposes. Types
of drawings prepared include isometric projections (depicting three
dimensions in accurate scale) and sectional views to clarify positioning
