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

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

of program step s; w rites detailed flow charts to show order in which data will be p ro cessed ;
converts these charts to coded instructions for machine to follow; te sts and co rre c ts p rogram s;
p rep a re s instructions for operating personnel during production run; analyzes, review s, and a lters
p rogram s to in crease operating efficiency or adapt to new requirem ents; m aintains record s of

C la ss A. Works independently or under only general direction on com plex problem s which
require competence in all phases of program ing concepts and p ractice s. Working from d ia­
gram s and charts which identify the nature of d esired r e su lts, m ajor p rocessin g steps to be
accom plished, and the relationships between various 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 eral 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 operations, adjustm ents to data when program requirem ents exceed
computer storage capacity, and substantial m anipulation and re sequencing of data elements
to form a highly integrated program .
May provide functional direction to lower level p ro g ra m ers who are assign ed to a s s is t .
C la ss B .' Works independently or under only general direction on relatively sim ple
p ro g ram s, or on sim ple segm ents of com plex p ro g ram s. P rog ram s (or segm ents) usually

and listin gs are produced by refining, adapting, arrayin g, or making m inor additions to or
deletions from input data which are readily available. While numerous record s m ay be
p ro cessed , the data have been refined in prior actions so that the accu racy and sequencing
of data can be tested by using a few routine checks. Typically, the program d eals with
routine record-keeping type operations.

every item of each type is autom atically p ro cessed through the full system of record s and
appropriate followup actions are initiated by the computer.) Confers with p erson s concerned to
determ ine the data p rocessin g problem s and advises subject-m atter personnel on the im p lica­

needed, for approval of m ajor system s in stallations or changes and for obtaining equipment.
May provide functional direction to lower level system s analysts who are assign ed to
a s s is t .
C la ss B . Works independently or under only general direction on problem s that are
relatively uncomplicated to analyze, plan, program , and operate. Problem s are of lim ited
com plexity because sources of input data are homogeneous and the output data are closely
related. (For exam ple, develops system s for m aintaining depositor accounts in a bank,
m aintaining accounts receivable in a retail establishm ent, or maintaining inventory accounts
in a m anufacturing or wholesale establishm ent.) Confers with person s concerned to determ ine
the data p ro cessin g problem s and ad vises subject-m atter personnel on the im plications of the
data p rocessin g sy stem s to be applied.

effect of each change on the details of form , function, and positional relationships of com ­
ponents and p a rts. Works with a minimum of supervisory a ssistan c e . Completed work is
reviewed by design originator for consistency with p rior engineering determ inations. May
either p rep are draw ings, or d irect their preparation by lower level draftsm en.
C la ss B . P erfo rm s nonroutine and com plex drafting assignm ents that require the appli­
