This perm its the grouping of occupational wage rate s representing com parable job content. Because of this em phasis on interestablishm ent and in tera re a com parability of occupational content, the B u reau's job descriptions m ay differ significantly from those in use in individual establishm ents or those prepared for other p urp 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 a rn e rs; beginners; train e es; and handicapped, p art-tim e, tem porary, and probationary w ork ers.
