The prim ary purpose of preparing job descriptions for the Bureau's w age surveys is to assist its field
staff in classifying into appropriate occupations workers who are em ployed under a v ariety of payroll titles
and different work arrangem ents from establishm ent to establishm ent and from area to area. This perm its
the grouping of occupational w age rates representing com parable job co ntent. Because of this em phasis on
interestablishm ent and interarea co m parab ility of occupational content, the B ureau's job descriptions m ay
differ significantly from those in use in individual establishm ents or those prepared for other purposes. In
applying these job descriptions, the Bureau's field econom ists are instructed to exclude w orking supervisors,
apprentices, learners, beginners, trainees, handicapped, p a rt-tim e , tem porary, and probationary workers.
