1 The R iverside—San Bernardino—Ontario Standard Metropolitan Statistical A rea, a s defined by the Office of Management and Budget through November 1971, con sists of R iverside and San
Bernardino Counties. The "w orkers within scope of study" e stim ates shown in this table provide a reasonably accurate description of the size and com position of the labor force included in
the survey. The estim ate s are not intended, however, to serve a s a b a sis of com parison with other employment indexes for the a re a to m easure employment trends or levels since (1) planning
of wage surveys req u ires the use of establishm ent data com piled considerably in advance of the payroll period studied, and (2) sm all establishm ents are excluded from the scope of the survey.
2 The 1967 edition of the Standard Industrial C lassificatio n Manual was used in classify in g establishm ents by industry division.
3 Includes all establishm ents with total employment at or above the minimum lim itation. All outlets (within the area) of com panies in such in du stries a s trad e, finance, auto repair service,
and motion picture theaters are considered as 1 establishm ent.
4 Includes executive, p ro fessio n al, and other w orkers excluded from the sep arate plant and office cate g o rie s.
5 Abbreviated to "public u tilitie s" in the A- and B - s e r ie s tab le s. T axicabs and se rv ice s incidental to water transportation were excluded. The lo ca l-tran sit system in San Bernardino is
m unicipally operated and is excluded by definition from the scope of the study.
6 This industry division is represen ted in e stim ates for "a ll in d u strie s" and "nonm anufacturing" in the S e rie s A tab le s, and for "a ll in du stries ' in the S erie s B tab les. Separate
presentation of data for this division is not m ade for one or m ore of the following reaso n s: (1) Employment in the division i s too sm all to provide enough data to m erit sep arate study, (2) the
sam ple was not designed initially to perm it separate presentation, (3) respon se was insufficient or inadequate to perm it sep arate presentation, and (4) there is possibility of d isclo su re of
individual establishm ent data.
7 Workers from this entire industry division are represen ted in estim ates for "a ll in d u strie s" and "nonm anufacturing" in the S e rie s A tab les, but from the re a l estate portion only in
e stim a te s for "a ll in d u strie s" in the S erie s B tab le s. Separate presentation of data for this division is not m ade for one or m ore of the reaso n s given in footnote 6 above.

An establishm ent is considered to have a contract covering all plantworkers or
officew orkers if a m ajority of such w orkers are covered by a labor-m anagem ent agreement.
Th erefore, all other plantw orkers or officew orkers are employed in establishm ents that either
do not have labor-m anagem ent contracts in effect, or have con tracts that apply to fewer than
half of their plantw orkers or officew orkers. E stim a tes are not n e ce ssa rily representative
of the extent to which all w orkers in the a re a m ay be covered by the provisions of
labor-m anagem ent agreem en ts, becau se sm all establishm ents are excluded and the industrial
scope of the survey is lim ited.

Appendix. Occupational Descriptions
The p rim ary purpose of preparing job d escriptions for the B u reau 's wage surveys is to a s s is t its field staff in classify in g into appropriate
occupations w orkers who are employed under a variety of payroll title s and different work arrangem ents from establishm ent to establishm ent and
from a re a to a re a . This p erm its the grouping of occupational wage rate s representing com parable job content. B ecau se of this em phasis on
interestablishm ent and in terare a com parability of occupational content, the B u reau 's job d escriptions m ay differ significantly from those in use in
individual establishm ents or those prepared for other p u rp oses. In applying these job d escrip tion s, the B u reau 's field econom ists are instructed
to exclude working su p e rv iso rs; apprentices; le arn ers; beginners; train e es; and handicapped, p art-tim e, tem porary, and probationary w orkers.

require com petence in all phases of program ing concepts and p rac tic e s. Working from d ia
gram s and ch arts which identify the nature of d esired r e su lts, m ajor p ro cessin g steps to be
accom plished, and the relationsh ips between variou s step s of the problem solving routine;
plans the full range of program ing actions needed to efficiently utilize the computer system
in achieving d esired end products.
At this level, program ing is difficult because com puter equipment m ust be organized to
produce sev e ral in terrelated but d iv erse products from numerous and d iv erse data elem ents.
A wide variety and extensive number of internal p ro cessin g actions m ust occur. This requ ires
such actions as development of common operations which can be reused, establishm ent of
linkage points between o p eration s, adjustm ents to data when program requirem ents exceed
