Appendix A. Changes in Occupational Descriptions
Since the Bureau's last survey, occupational descriptions for drafts
m an, secretary, and sw itchboard operator were revised in order to obtain
salary inform ation for m ore specific categories.
S ecretary. 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. D ata published under the com posite
title of secretary are not com parable to data previously published.
Sw itchboard operator. The revised description for sw itchboard
operator arranges these workers into two defined classes (A and B) instead
20
of a single category, clarifying the criteria of types of calls handled and
types o f inform ation provided. The com bination of class A and class B
d ata, where both are published, is com parable to the single designation,
if previously published.
D raftsm an. The revised descriptions for draftsm an (classes A, B,
and C; and draftsm an-tracer) replace the previous designations for drafts
m an (leader, senior, and junior; and tracer) and em phasize the distinction
betw een drafting and design skills. T herefore, data presented for any of
these occupations are not com parable to data previously published.
The revised occupational descriptions are included in appendix B.
Appendix B. Occupational Descriptions
The prim ary 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 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 wage rates representing com parable job content. Because of this em phasis on
interestablishm ent and interarea co m parab ility of occupational content, the Bureau'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 B ureau's field econom ists are instructed to exclude working supervisors,
apprentices, learners, beginners, trainees, handicapped, p a rt-tim e , tem porary, and probationary workers.
