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 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; learn ers; beginners; trainees; and handicapped,
p a rt-tim e, tem porary, and probationary w orkers.

computer system in achieving desired end products.
At this level, programming is difficult because computer equipment
must be organized to produce several interrelated but diverse products from
numerous and diverse data elem ents. A wide variety and extensive number
of internal processing actions must occur.
This requires such actions as
development of common operations which can be reused, establishment of
linkage points between operations, adjustments to data when program require

to develop working knowledge of the computer equipment used and
detect problems involved in running routine program s. Usually has
some form al training in computer operation. May assist higher level
on complex program s.
DRAFTER
C lass A . Plans the graphic presentation of complex item s having
distinctive design features that differ significantly from established drafting
precedents.
Works in close support with the design originator, and may
recommend minor design changes. Analyzes the effect of each change on the
details of form , function, and positional relationships of components and parts.
Works with a minimum of supervisory assistance. Completed work is
reviewed by design originator for consistency with prior engineering deter
minations. May either prepare drawings or direct their preparation by lower
level drafters.
D R A F T E R — C o n tin u e d
E L E C T R O N IC S T E C H N IC IA N — C o n tin u e d
C lass B . P erform s nonroutine and complex drafting assignments
that require the application of m ost of the standardized drawing techniques
regularly used.
Duties typically involve such work a s:
Prepares working
drawings of subasserAblies with irregular shapes, multiple functions, and
precise positional relationships between components; prepares architectural
drawings for construction of a building including detail drawings of foun
dations, wall sections, floor plans, and roof.
Uses accepted form ulas and
manuals in m a k i n g necessary computations to determine quantities of
m aterials to be used, load capacities, strengths, str e sse s, etc. Receives
initial instructions, requirem ents, and advice from supervisor. Completed
work is checked for technical adequacy.
This classification excludes repairers of such standard electronic
equipment as common office machines and household radio and television
sets; production assem blers and teste rs; workers whose primary duty is
servicing electronic test instruments; technicians who have administrative
or supervisory responsibility; and drafters, designers, and professional
engineers.
C lass C . Prepares detail drawings of single units or parts for
engineering, construction, manufacturing, or repair purposes. Types of
drawings prepared include isom etric projections (depicting three dimensions
in accurate scale) and sectional views to clarify positioning of components
and convey needed information. Consolidates details from a number of
sources and adjusts or transposes scale as required. Suggested methods of
approach, applicable precedents, and advice on source m aterials are given
with initial assignm ents. Instructions are less complete when' assignments
recur.
Work may be spot-checked during progress.

C lass A . Applies advanced technical knowledge to solve unusually
complex problems (i.e ., those that typically cannot be solved solely by r e fe r
ence to manufacturers' manuals or sim ilar documents) in working on e le c
tronic equipment.
Examples of such problems include location and density of
circuitry, electromagnetic radiation, isolating malfunctions, and frequent
engineering changes.
Work involves: A detailed under standing of the inter
relationships of circuits^ exercising independent judgmeht in performing such
tasks as making circuit analyses, calculating wave fo rm s, tracing relation
ships in signal flow; and regularly using complex test instruments (e .g ., dual
trace oscillo sco p es, Q -m e te r s, deviation m eters, pulse generators).
Work may be reviewed by supervisor (frequently an engineer or
designer) for general compliance with accepted practices.
May provide
technical guidance to lower level technicians.
D R A FT ER -TR A C E R
Copies plans and drawings prepared by others by placing tracing
cloth or paper over drawings and tracing with pen or pencil.
(Does not
include tracing limited to plans prim arily consisting of straight lines and a
large scale not requiring close delineation.)
AN D /O R
Prepares simple or repetitive drawings of easily visualized item s.
Work is closely supervised during p ro gress.
C lass B . Applies comprehensive technical knowledge to solve com
plex problems (i.e ., those that typically can be solved solely by properly
interpreting m anufacturers' manuals or sim ilar documents) in working on
electronic equipment.
Work involves: A fam iliarity with the interrelation
ships of circuits; and judgment in determining work sequence and in selecting
tools and testing instruments, usually le ss complex than those used by the
class A technician.
Receives technical guidance, as required, from supervisor or higher
level technician, and work is reviewed for specific compliance with accepted
practices and work assignm ents. May provide technical guidance to lower
level technicians.
ELECTRONICS TECHNICIAN
Works on various types of electronic equipment and related devices
by performing one or a combination of the following: Installing, maintaining,
repairing, overhauling, troubleshooting, modifying, constructing, and testing.
Work requires practical application of technical knowledge of electronics
principles, ability to determine malfunctions, and skill to put equipment in
required operating condition.
The equipment— consisting of either many different kinds of circuits
or multiple repetition of the same kind of circuit— includes, but is not limited
to, the following: (a) Electronic transmitting and receiving equipment (e .g .,
radar, radio, television, telephone, sonar, navigational aids), (b) digital and
analog computers, and (c) industrial and m edical measuring and controlling
equipment.
C lass C . Applies working technical knowledge to perform simple or
routine tasks in working on electronic equipment, following detailed instruc
tions which cover virtually all procedures.
Work typically involves such
tasks a s: A ssisting higher level technicians by performing such activities as
replacing components, wiring circuits, and taking test readings; repairing
simple electronic equipment; and using tools and common test instruments
(e .g ., m u ltim eters, audio signal generators, tube te ste r s, oscilloscopes).
Is not required to be fam iliar with the interrelationships of circuits.
This
knowledge, however, may be acquired through assignments designed to
increase competence (including classroom training) so that worker can
advance to higher level technician.
Receives technical guidance, as required, from supervisor or higher
level technician.
Work is typically spot checked, but is given detailed review
when new or advanced assignments are involved.
