1 The Beaumont—
Port Arthur—
Orange Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area, as defined by the Bureau of the Budget through March 1965, consists of Jefferson and Orange Counties. The
"w orkers within scope of study" estimates shown in this table provide a reasonably accurate description of the size and com position of the labor fo rce included in the survey. The estimates are
not intended, however, to serve as a basis of com parison with other employment indexes fo r the area to measure employment trends or levels since (1) planning of wage surveys requires the
use of establishment data com piled considerably in advance of the payroll period studied, and (2) small establishments are excluded from the scope of the survey.
2 The 1957 revised edition of the Standard IndustrialC lassification Manual and the 1963 Supplement were used in classifying establishments by industry division.
3 Includes all establishments with total employment at or above the minimum limitation. All outlets (within the area) of companies in such industries as trade, finance, auto repair service,
and motion picture theaters are considered as 1 establishment.
4 Includes executive, professional, and other workers excluded from the separate plant and office ca tegories.
5 Taxicabs and services incidental to water transportation were excluded.
6 This industry division is represented in estimates for "all industries" and "nonmanufacturing" in the Series A tables, and for "all industries" in the Series B tables. Separate presentation
of data for this division is not made for one or m ore of the following reasons: (1) Employment in the division is too small to provide enough data to m erit separate study, (2) the sample
was not designed initially to permit separate presentation,
(3) response was insufficient or inadequate to permit separate presentation, and (4) there is possibility of disclosure of individual
establishment data.
7 W orkers from this entire industry division are represented in estim ates for "all industries" and "nonmanufacturing" in the Series A tables, but from the real estate portion only in
estimates for "all industries" in the Series B tables.
Separate presentation of data for this division is not made for one or m ore of the reasons given in footnote 6 above.
8 Hotels; personal services; business services; automobile repair shops; motion pictures; nonprofit m embership organizations (excluding religious and charitable organizations); and engineering
and architectural services.
Two-thirds of the workers within scope of the survey in the Beaumont—
Port A rthurOrange area were employed in manufacturing firm s. The following table presents the m ajor
industry groups and specific industries as a percent of all manufacturing:
Industry group
Specific industries
Petroleum refining______________45
Chem icals------------------------------------24
Transportation equipment-----------10
Fabricated metal products-------- 7
Petroluem refining_____________ 45
Industrial ch e m ica ls__________ 13
Ship and boat building
and repairing__________________10
P lastics and synthetic
m aterials_____________________ 9
Fabricated structural
metal products------------------------ 5
This information is based on estimates of total employment derived from universe
m aterials com piled prior to actual survey.
Proportions in various industry divisions may
differ from proportions based on the results of the survey as shown in table 1 above.

Appendix A. Changes in Occupational Descriptions
Since the Bureau's last survey, occupational descriptions for drafts
man, secretary, and switchboard operator were revised in order to obtain
salary information for more specific categories.
Secretary. The revised descriptions for secretary (classes A, B,
C, and D) classify these workers according to levels of responsibility. The
size of the organization and the scope of the supervisor's position are con
sidered in distinguishing these levels. Data published under the composite
title of secretary are not comparable to data previously published.
Switchboard operator. The revised description for switchboard
operator arranges these workers into two defined classes (A and B) instead
19
of a single category, clarifying the criteria of types of calls handled and
types of information provided. The combination of class A and class B
data, where both are published, is comparable to the single designation,
if previously published.
Draftsman. The revised descriptions for draftsman (classes A, B,
and C; and draftsman-tracer) replace the previous designations for drafts
man (leader, senior, and junior; and tracer) and emphasize the distinction
between drafting and design skills. Therefore, data presented for any of
these occupations are not comparable to data previously published.
The revised occupational descriptions are included in appendix B.
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-tim e, temporary, and probationary workers.

BOOKKEEPING-MACHINE OPERATOR
Prepares statements, bills, and invoices on a machine other than

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

Class B. Keeps a record of one or more phases or sections of

ventory control, etc.

balances and prepare control sheets for the accounting department.
Biller, machine (bookkeeping machine). Uses a bookkeeping
machine (Sundstrand, Elliott Fisher, Remington Rand, e t c ., which

counting operations such as posting simple journal vouchers or accounts
payable vouchers, entering vouchers in voucher registers; reconciling

tions in which the duties are either substantially more routine or substan
tially more complex and responsible than those characterized in the def
inition; and(e) assistant type positions which involve more difficult or more
