1 The Atlanta Standard M etropolitan Statistical A rea, as defined by the Bureau of the Budget through January 1968, con sists of Clayton, Cobb,
DeKalb, Fulton, and Gwinnett Counties. The "w ork ers within scope of study" estim ates shown in this table provide a reasonably accu rate d escrip tion
of the size and com p osition of the labor fo r c e included in the survey. The estim ates are not intended, how ever, to serve as a b asis of com p a rison
with other em ploym ent indexes for the area to m easure em ploym ent trends o r levels since (l) planning o f wage surveys req u ires the use of establishm ent
data com piled con siderably in advance o f the p a yroll 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 la ssifica tion Manual was used in cla ssifyin g establishm ents by industry d ivision .
3 Includes all establishm ents with total em ploym ent at or above the minimum lim itation.
A ll outlets (within the area) of com panies in such
industries as trade, finance, auto repair se rv ice , and m otion picture theaters are con sid ered as 1 establishm ent.
4 Includes all w orkers in all establishm ents with total em ploym ent (within the area) at or above the minimum lim itation.
5 Abbreviated to "public u tilities" in the A -s e r ie s tables. T axicabs and s e rv ice s incidental to water transportation w ere excluded.
6 Abbreviated to "fin an ce" in the A -s e r ie s tables.
7 This industry d ivision is represented in estim ates fo r "a ll in d u stries" and "nonm anufacturing" in the Series A tables. Separate presentation
of data for this d ivision is not made fo r one or m ore of the following reasons: (l) Employment in the division is too sm all to p rovide enough data
to m erit separate study, (2) the sam ple was not designed initially to perm it separate presentation, (3) response was insufficient o r inadequate to
perm it separate presentation, and (4) there is possib ility of d isclo s u re of individual establishm ent data.
8 Hotels and m otels; laundries and other p ersonal s e rv ice s ; business s e rv ice s ; autom obile repair, rental, and parking; m otion p ictu res; nonprofit
m em bership organizations (excluding religiou s and charitable organizations); and engineering and a rch itectural s e rv ice s .

About tw o-fifth s of the w orkers within scope of the survey in the Atlanta area w ere em ployed in m anufacturing fir m s .
follow ing presents the m ajor industry groups and s p e cific industries as a percent of all manufacturing:

O c c u p a tio n a l D e s c rip tio n s

The prim ary purpose of preparing jo b descriptions fo r the B ureau's wage surveys is to a ssist its field staff in cla ssifyin g into appropriate
occupations w orkers who are em ployed under a variety of payroll titles and different work arrangem ents from establishm ent to establishment and
from area to area.
This perm its the grouping of occupational wage rates representing com parable job content.
Because of this emphasis on
interestablishm ent and interarea com parability of occupational content, the Bureau's jo b descriptions may differ significantly from those in use in
individual establishm ents or those prepared for other purposes.
In applying these job d escriptions, the B ureau's field econom ists are instructed
to exclude working sup ervisors; apprentices; lea rn ers; beginners; trainees; and handicapped, p art-tim e, tem porary, and probationary w orkers.

O FFIC E
CLERK, FILE

BILLER, MACHINE
P rep a res statements, b ills, and invoices on a machine other than an ordinary or e le ctro m atic typew riter. May also keep record s as to billings or shipping charges or p erform other
c le rica l work incidental to billing operations. F or wage study purposes, b ille rs , m achine, are
cla ssified by type of m achine, as follow s:

C lass A . In an established filing system containing a number of varied subject m atter
file s , cla ss ifie s and indexes file m aterial such as corresp on den ce, rep orts, technical d ocu­
m ents, etc. May also file this m aterial. May keep re co rd s of various types in conjunction
with the file s . May lead a sm all group of low er level file cle rk s.

B iller, machine (billing m achine). Uses a special billing machine (Moon Hopkins, Elliott
F ish er, Burroughs, e tc., which are com bination typing and adding machines) to prepare bills
and invoices from cu stom ers' purchase ord e rs , internally prepared o rd e rs , shipping m em o­
randums, etc. Usually involves application of predeterm ined discounts and shipping charges,
and entry of n ecessa ry extensions, which may or m ay not be computed on the billing m achine,
and totals which are autom atically accumulated by m achine. The operation usually involves
a large number of carbon cop ies of the bill being prepared and is often done on a fanfold
m achine.
B iller, machine (bookkeeping m achine). Uses a bookkeeping machine (Sundstrand, Elliott
F ish er, Remington Rand, e tc., which m ay or m ay not have typewriter keyboard) to prepare
cu stom ers' bills as part of the accounts receivable operation. Generally involves t,he sim ulta­
neous entry of figu res on cu stom ers' ledger re c o rd . The machine autom atically accumulates
figu res on a number of vertica l columns and com putes, and usually prints autom atically the

E xclusions
Not all positions that are titled "s e c r e ta r y " p ossess the above ch a ra cte ristics. Examples
of positions which are excluded from the definition are as follow s: (a) P ositions which do not m eet
the "p erson a l" secreta ry concept d escrib ed above; (b) stenographers not fully trained in secreta rial
type duties; (c) stenographers serving as office assistants to a group of p rofessional, technical,
