Appendix. Occupational Descriptions
The primary purpose of preparing job descriptions for the Bureau’ s wage surveys is to assist its fie ld
staff in classifying into appropriate occupations workers who are em ployed under a variety o f 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 com parability of occupational content, the Bureau's job descriptions m ay
differ significantly from those in use in individual establishments or those prepared for other purposes.
In
applying these job descriptions, the Bureau's fie ld economists are instructed to exclude working supervisors,
apprentices, learners, beginners, trainees, handicapped, pa rt-tim e, temporary, and probationary workers.
