Preface
This bulletin provides results of a July 1977 survey of occupational
earnings and supplementary wage benefits in the Cincinnati, Ohio—Kentucky—
Indiana, Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area. The survey was made as
part of the Bureau of Labor Statistics' annual area wage survey program.
It was conducted by the Bureau's regionad office in Chicago, 111., under the
general direction of Lois L. O rr, Assistant Regional Commissioner for
Operations. The survey could not have been accomplished without the coop­
eration of the many firms whose wage and salary data provided the basis
for the statistical information in this bulletin. The Bureau wishes to express
sincere appreciation for the cooperation received.

Introduction
Table A-7 provides percent changes in average hourly earnings of
office clerical workers, electronic data processing workers, industrial
nurses, skilled maintenance trades workers, and unskilled plant workers.
Where possible, data are presented for all industries and for manufacturing
and nonmanufacturing separately. Data are not presented for skilled main­
tenance workers in nonmanufacturing because the number of workers em­
ployed in this occupational group in nonmanufacturing is too small to warrant
separate presentation. This table provides a measure of wage trends after
elimination of changes in average earnings caused by employment shifts
among establishments as well as turnover of establishments included in
survey samples. For further details, see appendix A.

This area is 1 of 74 in which the U.S. Department of Labor's Bu­
reau of Labor Statistics conducts surveys of occupational earnings and re­
lated benefits. (See list of areas on inside back cover.) In each area,
occupational earnings data (A -series tables) are collected annually. Infor­
mation on establishment practices and supplementary wage benefits (B series tables) is obtained every third year.
Each year after all individual area wage surveys have been com­
pleted, two summary bulletins are issued. The first brings together data
for each metropolitan area surveyed; the second presents national and re ­
gional estimates, projected from individual metropolitan area data, for all
Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas in the United States, excluding Alaska
and Hawaii.

B -series tables

A major consideration in the area wage survey program is the need
to describe the level and movement of wages in a variety of labor markets,
through the analysis of (1) the level and distribution of wages by occupation,
and (2) the movement of wages by occupational category and skill level.
The program develops information that may be used for many purposes,
including wage and salary administration, collective bargaining, and as­
sistance in determining plant location. Survey results also are used by the
U.S. Department of Labor to make wage determinations under the Service
Contract Act of 1965.

The B -series tables present information on minimum entrance
salaries for inexperienced typists and clerks; late-shift pay provisions and
practices for plant workers in manufacturing; and data separately for plant
and office workers on scheduled weekly hours and days of first-shift work­
ers; paid holidays; paid vacations; health, insurance, and pension plans;
and more detailed information on life insurance plans.
A ppen dixes

Appendix A describes the methods and concepts used in the area
wage survey program. It provides information on the scope of the area
survey, on the area's industrial composition in manufacturing, and on
labor-management agreement coverage.

A - s e r i e s ta b les

Tables A - l through A-6 provide estimates of straight-time weekly
or hourly earnings for workers in occupations common to a variety of
manufacturing and nonmanufacturing industries. For the 31 largest survey
areas, tables A - 8 through A - 13 provide similar data for establishments
employing 500 workers or more.




Appendix B provides job descriptions used by Bureau field econ­
omists to classify workers by occupation.

14 Includes payments other than "length of tim e," such as percentage
of annual earnings or flat-sum payments, converted to an equivalent time
basis; for example, 2 percent of annual earnings was considered as 1 week's
pay. Periods of service are chosen arbitrarily and do not necessarily re ­
flect individual provisions for progression; for example, changes in pro­
portions at 10 years include changes between 5 and 10 years. Estimates
are cumulative. Thus, the proportion eligible for at least 3 weeks' pay
after 10 years includes those eligible for at least 3 weeks' pay after fewer
years of service.
15 Estimates listed after type of benefit are for all plans for which
at least a part of the cost is borne by the employer. "Noncontributory
plans" include only those financed entirely by the employer. Excluded are
legally required plans, such as workers' disability compensation, social se­
curity, and railroad retirement.
16 Unduplicated total of workers receiving sick leave or sickness and
accident insurance shown separately below. Sick leave plans are limited to
those which definitely establish at least the minimum number of days' pay
that each employee can expect. Informal sick leave allowances determined
on an individual basis are excluded.
17 Estimates under "A ll plans" relate to all plans for which at least
a part of the cost is borne by the employer. Estimates under "Noncontrib­
utory plans" include only those financed entirely by the employer.
18 For "A ll industries," all full-time plant workers or office workers
equal 100 percent. For "Manufacturing," all full-time plant workers or
office workers in manufacturing equal 100 percent.
19 The mean amount is computed by multiplying the number of workers
provided insurance by the amount of insurance provided, totaling the prod­
ucts, and dividing the sum by the number of workers. The median indicates
that half of the workers are provided an amount equal to or smaller and half
an amount equal to or larger than the amount shown. Middle range (50 per­
cent)— a fourth of the workers are provided an amount equal to or less than
the smaller amount and a fourth are provided an amount equal to or more
than the larger amount. Middle range (80 percent)— 10 percent of the work­
ers are provided an amount equal to or less than the smaller amount and 10
percent are provided an amount equal to or more than the larger amount.
20 A factor of annual earnings is the number by which annual earnings
are multiplied to determine the amount of insurance provided. For example,
a factor of 2 indicates that for annual earnings of $10,000 the amount of
insurance provided is $20, 000.

Some of these standard footnotes may not apply to this bulletin.

Standard hours reflect the workweek for which employees receive
their regular straight-time salaries (exclusive of pay for overtime at reg­
ular and/or premium rates), and the earnings correspond to these weekly
hours.
2 The mean is computed for each job by totaling the earnings of
all workers and dividing by the number of workers. The median desig­
nates position— half of the workers receive the same or more and half re ­
ceive the same or less than the rate shown. The middle range is defined
by two rates of pay; a fourth of the workers earn the same or less than
the lower of these rates and a fourth earn the same or more than the
higher rate.
3 Earnings data relate only to workers whose sex identification was
provided by the establishment.
4 Excludes premium pay for overtime and for work on weekends,
holidays, and late shifts.
Estimates for periods ending prior to 1976 relate to men only for
skilled maintenance and unskilled plant workers. All other estimates re ­
late to men and women.
6 Data do not meet publication criteria or data not available.

9 Data are presented for all standard workweeks combined, and for

10 Includes all plant workers in establishments currently operat­
ing late shifts, and establishments whose formal provisions cover late
shifts, even though the establishments were not currently operating late
shifts.
11 Less than 0.05 percent.
12 Less than 0.5 percent.
13 All combinations of full and half days that add to the same amount
are combined; for example, the proportion of workers receiving a total of
10 days includes those with 10 full days and no half days, 9 full days and
2 half days, 8 full days and 4 half days, and so on. Proportions then
were cumulated.

Scope and M ethod
of Survey
Data on area wages and related benefits are obtained by personal
visits of Bureau field representatives at 3-year intervals. In each of the
intervening years, information on employment and occupational earnings is
collected by a combination of personal visit, mail questionnaire, and telephone
interview from establishments participating in the previous survey.
In each of the 74 1 areas currently surveyed, data are obtained from
representative establishments within six broad industry divisions: Manufac­
turing; transportation, communication, and other public utilities; wholesale
trade; retail trade; finance, insurance, and real estate; and services. Major
industry groups excluded from these studies are government operations and
the construction and extractive industries. Establishments having fewer than
a prescribed number of workers are omitted because of insufficient employ­
ment in the occupations studied. Separate tabulations are provided for each
of the broad industry divisions which meet publication criteria.
These surveys are conducted on a sample basis. The sampling
procedures involve detailed stratification of all establishments within the
scope of an individual area survey by industry and number of employees.
From this stratified universe a probability sample is selected, with each
establishment having a predetermined chance of selection. To obtain optimum
accuracy at minimum cost, a greater proportion of large than small establish­
ments is selected. When data are combined, each establishment is weighted
according to its probability of selection, so that unbiased estimates are
generated. For example, if one out of four establishments is selected, it is
given a weight of 4 to represent itself plus three others. An alternate of
the same original probability is chosen in the same industry-size classifi­
cation if data are not available from the original sample member. If no
suitable substitute is available, additional weight is assigned to a sample
member that is similar to the missing unit.
Occupations and earnings
Occupations selected for study are common to a variety of manufac­
turing and nonmanufacturing industries, and are of the following types: (1)
Office clerical; (2) professional and technical; (3) maintenance, toolroom,
and powerplant; and (4) material movement and custodial. Occupational
classification is based on a uniform set of job descriptions designed to take
account of interestablishment variation in duties within the same job.
Occupations selected for study are listed and described in appendix B.

Va.— N . C . ;

Unless otherwise indicated, the earnings data following the job titles
are for all industries combined. Earnings data for some of the occupations
listed and described, or for some industry divisions within the scope of the
survey, are not presented in the A -series tables because either (1) employ­
ment in the occupation is too small to provide enough data to merit presen­
tation, or (2) there is possibility of disclosure of individual establishment
data. Separate men's and women's earnings data are not presented when the
number of workers not identified by sex is 20 percent or more of the men
or women identified in an occupation. Earnings data not shown separately
for industry divisions are included in data for all industries combined.
Likewise, for occupations with more than one level, data are included in
the overall classification when a subclassification is not shown or information
to subclassify is not available.
Occupational employment and earnings data are shown for full-time
workers, i.e., those hired to work a regular weekly schedule. Earnings
data exclude premium pay for overtime and for work on weekends, holidays,
and late shifts. Nonproduction bonuses are excluded, but cost-of-living
allowances and incentive bonuses are included. Weekly hours for office
clerical and professional and technical occupations refer to the standard
workweek (rounded to the nearest half hour) for which employees receive
regular straight-time salaries (exclusive of pay for overtime at regular
and/or premium rates). Average weekly earnings for these occupations
are rounded to the nearest half dollar. Vertical lines within the distribution
of workers on some A-tables indicate a change in the size of the class
intervals.
These surveys measure the level of occupational earnings in an area
at a particular time. Comparisons of individual occupational averages over
time may not reflect expected wage changes. The averages for individual
jobs are affected by changes in wages and employment patterns. For example,
proportions of workers employed by high- or low-wage firms may change,
or high-wage workers may advance to better jobs and be replaced by new
workers at lower rates. Such shifts in employment could decrease an
occupational average even though most establishments in an area increase
wages during the year. Changes in earnings of occupational groups, shown in
table A -7, are better indicators of wage trends than are earnings changes for
individual jobs within the groups.
Average earnings reflect composite, areawide estimates. Industries
and establishments differ in pay level and job staffing, and thus contribute
differently to the estimates for each job. Pay averages may fail to reflect
accurately the wage differential among jobs in individual establishments.

are

Average pay levels for men and women in selected occupations
should not be assumed to reflect differences in pay of the sexes within
individual establishments. Factors which may contribute to differences
include progression within established rate ranges (only the rates paid
incumbents are * collected) and performance of specific duties within the
general survey job descriptions. Job descriptions used to classify employees
in these surveys usually are more generalized than those used in individual
establishments and allow for minor differences among establishments in
specific duties performed.
Occupational employment estimates represent the total in all estab­
lishments within the scope of the study and not the number actually surveyed.
Because occupational structures among establishments differ, estimates of
occupational employment obtained from the sample of establishments studied
serve only to indicate the relative importance of the jobs studied. These
differences in occupational structure do not affect materially the accuracy of
the earnings data.
Wage trends for selected occupational groups
The percent increases presented in table A -7 are based on changes
in average hourly earnings of men and women in establishments reporting
the trend jobs in both the current and previous year (matched establishments).
The data are adjusted to remove the effect on average earnings of employ­
ment shifts among establishments and turnover of establishments included
in survey samples. The percent increases, however, are still affected by
factors other than wage increases. Hirings, layoffs, and turnover may
affect an establishment average for an occupation when workers are paid
under plans providing a range of wage rates for individual jobs. In periods
of increased hiring, for example, new employees may enter at the bottom
of the range, depressing the average without a change in wage rates.
The percent changes relate to wage changes between the indicated
dates. When the time span between surveys is other than 12 months, annual
rates are shown. (It is assumed that wages increase at a constant rate
between surveys.)

Percent changes for i
as follows:

areas in the program are computed

1. Average earnings are computed for each occupation for
the 2 years being compared. The averages are derived
from earnings in those establishments which are in the
survey both years; it is assumed that employment
remains unchanged.
2. Each occupation is assigned a weight based on its
proportionate employment in the occupational group in
the base year.
3. These weights are used to compute group averages.
Each occupation's average earnings (computed in step 1)
is multiplied by its weight. The products are totaled
to obtain a group average.
4. The ratio of group averages for 2 consecutive years is
computed by dividing the average for the current year
by the average for the earlier year. The result—
expressed as a percent— less 100 is the percent change.

The incidence of selected establishment practices and supplementary
wage provisions is studied for full-time plant workers and office workers.
Plant workers include nonsupervisory workers and working supervisors
engaged in nonoffice functions. (Cafeteria workers and route workers are
excluded in manufacturing industries, but included in nonmanufacturing
industries.) Office workers include nonsupervisory workers and working
supervisors performing clerical or related functions. Lead workers and
trainees are included among nonsupervisory workers. Administrative, execu­
tive, professional and part-time employees as well as construction workers
utilized as separate work forces are excluded from both the plant and office
worker categories.

Minimum entrance salaries (table B - l ) . Minimum entrance salaries
for office workers relate only to the establishments visited. Because of the
optimum sampling techniques used and the probability that large establish­
ments are more likely than small establishments to have formal entrance

rates above the subclerical level, the table is more representative of policies
in medium and large establishments. (The "X 's " shown under standard
weekly hours indicate that no meaningful totals are applicable.)
Shift differentials--- manufacturing (table B -2 ). Data were collected
on policies of manufacturing establishments regarding pay differentials for
plant workers on late shifts. Establishments considered as having policies
are those which (1) have provisions in writing covering the operation of late
shifts, or (2) have operated late shifts at any time during the 12 months
preceding a survey. When establishments have several differentials which
vary by job, the differential applying to the majority of the plant workers is
recorded. When establishments have differentials which apply only to certain
hours of work, the differential applying to the majority of the shift hours is
recorded.
For purposes of this study, a late shift is either a second (evening)
shift which ends at or near midnight or a third (night) shift which starts at or
near midnight.
Differentials for second and third shifts are summarized separately
for (1) establishment policies (an establishment's differentials are weighted by
all plant workers in the establishment at the time of the survey) and (2)
effective practices (an establishment's differentials are weighted by plant
workers employed on the specified shift at the time of the survey).
Scheduled weekly hours; paid holidays; paid vacations; and health,
insurance, and pension plans. Provisions which apply to a majority of the
plant or office workers in an establishment are considered to apply to all
plant or office workers in the establishment; a practice or provision is
considered nonexistent when it applies to less than a majority. Holidays;
vacations; and health, insurance, and pension plans are considered applicable
to employees currently eligible for the benefits as well as to employees who
will eventually become eligible.
Scheduled weekly hours and days (table B -3 ). Scheduled weekly
hours and days refer to the number of hours and days per week which full­
time first (day) shift workers are expected to work, whether paid for at
straight-time or overtime rates.
Paid holidays (table B -4 ). Holidays are included only if they are
granted annually on a formal basis (provided for in written form or estab­
lished by custom). They are included even though in a particular year
they fall on a nonworkday and employees are not granted another day off.
Employees may be paid for the time off or may receive premium pay in
lieu of time off.
Data are tabulated to show the percent of workers who (1) are granted
specific numbers of whole and half holidays and (2) are granted specified
amounts of total holiday time (whole and half holidays are aggregated).
Paid vacations (table B -5 ). Establishments report their method of
calculating vacation pay (time b asis, percent of annual earnings, flat-sum
payment, etc.) and the amount of vacation pay granted. Only basic formal
plans are reported. Vacation bonuses, vacation-savings plans, and "extended"
or "sabbatical" benefits beyond basic plans are excluded.

service. Vacation plans commonly provide for a larger amount of vacation
pay as service lengthens. Counts of plant or office workers by length of
service were not obtained. The tabulations of vacation pay granted present,
therefore, statistical measures of these provisions rather than proportions
of workers actually receiving specific benefits.
Health, insurance, and pension plains (tables B -6an d B-7J. Health,
insurance, and pension plans include plans for which the employer pays
either all or part of the cost. The cost may be (1) underwritten by a
commercial insurance company or nonprofit organization, (2) covered by a
union fund to which the employer has contributed, or (3) borne directly by
the employer out of operating funds or a fund set aside to cover the cost.
A plan is included even though a majority of the employees in an establish­
ment do not choose to participate in it because they are required to bear
part of its cost (provided the choice to participate is available or will
eventually become available to a majority). Legally required plans such as
social security, railroad retirement, workers' disability compensation, and
temporary disability insurance3 are excluded.
Life insurance includes formal plans providing indemnity (usually
through an insurance policy) in case of death of the covered worker.
Information is also provided in table B-7 on types of life insurance plans
and the amount of coverage in all industries combined and in manufacturing.
Accidental death and dismemberment is limited to plans which
provide benefit payments in case of death or loss of limb or sight as a
direct result of an accident.
Sickness and accident insurance includes only those plans which
provide that predetermined cash payments be made directly to employees
who lose time from work because of illness or injury, e.g., $50 a week
for up to 26 weeks of disability.
Sick leave plans are limited to formal plans 4 which provide for
continuing an employee's pay during absence from work because of illness.
Data collected distinguish between (1) plans which provide full pay with no
waiting period, and (2) plans which either provide partial pay or require a
waiting period.

Long-term disability insurance plans provide payments to totally
disabled employees upon the expiration of their paid sick leave and/or sick­
ness and accident insurance, or after a predetermined period of disability
(typically 6 months). Payments are made until the end of the disability, a
maximum age, or eligibility for retirement benefits. Full or partial pay­
ments are almost always reduced by social security, workers' disability
compensation, and private pension benefits payable to the disabled employee.

Labor-management agreement coverage
The following tabulation shows the percent of full-time plant and
office workers employed in establishments in the Cincinnati area in which
a union contract or contracts covered a majority of the workers in the
respective categories, July 1977:
Plant workers

Hospitalization, surgical, and medical insurance plans reported
in these surveys provide full or partial payment for basic services rendered.
Hospitalization insurance covers hospital room and board and may cover
other hospital expenses. Surgical insurance covers surgeons' fees. Medical
insurance covers doctors' fees for home, office, or hospital calls. Plans
restricted to post-operative medical care or a doctor's care for minor
ailments at a worker's place of employment are not considered to be
medical insurance.
Major medical insurance coverage applies to services which go
beyond the basic services covered under hospitalization, surgical, and
medical insurance. Major medical insurance typically (1) requires that a
"deductible" (e.g., $50) be met before benefits begin, (2) has a coinsurance
feature that requires the insured to pay a portion (e.g., 20 percent) of
certain expenses, and (3) has a specified dollar maximum of benefits (e.g.,
$ 10,000 a year).

An establishment is considered to have a contract covering all plant
or office workers if a majority of such workers is covered by a labormanagement agreement. Therefore, all other plant or office workers are
employed in establishments that either do not have labor-management con­
tracts in effect, or have contracts that apply to fewer than half of their plant
or office workers. Estimates are not necessarily representative of the extent
to which all workers in the area may be covered by the provisions of labormanagement agreements, because small establishments are excluded and the
industrial scope of the survey is limited.

Dental insurance plans provide normal dental service benefits,
usually for fillings, extractions, and X -rays. Plans which provide benefits
only for oral surgery or repairing accident damage are not reported.
Retirement pension plans provide for regular payments to the retiree
for life. Included are deferred profit-sharing plans which provide the option
of purchasing a lifetime annuity.




Industrial composition in manufacturing
Over one-half of the workers within the scope of the survey in
the Cincinnati area were employed in manufacturing firms. The following
presents the major industry groups and specific industries as a percent of
all manufacturing:

Appendix B.
Occupational
Descriptions
The primary purpose of preparing job descriptions for the Bu­
reau's wage surveys is to assist its field staff in classifying into appro­
priate occupations workers who are employed under a variety of payroll
titles and different work arrangements from establishment to establish­
ment and from area to area. This permits the grouping of occupational
wage rates representing comparable job content. Because of this empha­
sis 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; begin­
ners; and part-time, temporary, and probationary workers. Handicapped
workers whose earnings are reduced because of their handicap are also
excluded. Trainees are excluded from the survey except for those re ­
ceiving on-the-job training in some of the lower level professional and
technical occupations.

Office
SECRET ARY— Continued

SECRET ARY
Assigned as a personal secretary, normally to one individual.
Maintains a close and highly responsive relationship to the day-to-day activ­
ities of the supervisor. Works fairly independently receiving a minimum of
detailed supervision and guidance. Perform s varied clerical and secretarial
duties requiring a knowledge of office routine and understanding of the
organization, programs, and procedures related to the work of the supervisor.
Exclusions
Not all positions that are titled "secretary" possess the above
characteristics. Examples of positions which are excluded from the definition
are as follows:




Exclusions— Continued
a. Positions which do not meet the "personal"
described above;

b. Stenographers not fully trained in secretarial-type duties;
c. Stenographers serving as office assistants to a group of pro­
fessional, technical, or managerial persons;
d. Assistant-type positions which entail more difficult or more re ­
sponsible technical, administrative, or supervisory duties which
are not typical* of secretarial work, e.g., Administrative Assist­
ant, or Executive Assistant;

Listed below are several occupations for which revised descriptions or titles are being introduced
in this survey:
Tool and die maker
Guard
Shipper and receiver
(previously surveyed
as shipping and
receiving clerk)
T ruckdriver

Order clerk
Payroll clerk
Secretary
Switchboard operator
Switchboard operator-receptionist
Tramscribing-machine typist
Machine tool operator (toolroom)

The Bureau has discontinued collecting data for tabulating-machine operator. Workers previously
classified as watchmen are now classified as guards under the revised description.

Exclusions— Continued

Classification by Level— Continued

e. Positions which do not fit any of the situations listed in the
sections below titled "Level of Supervisor," e.g., secretary to the
president of a company that employs, in all, over 5,000 persons;

e. Secretary to the head of a large and important organizational
segment (e.g., a middle management supervisor of an organi­
zational segment often involving as many as several hundred
persons) of a company that employs, in all, over 25,000 persons.

f. T rainees.
Classification by Level
Secretary jobs which meet the above characteristics are matched at
one of five levels according to (a) the level of the secretary's supervisor
within the company's organizational structure and, (b) the level of the
secretary's responsibility. The chart following the explanations of these two
factors indicates the level of the secretary for each combination of the
factors.
Level of Secretary's Supervisor (LS)
Secretaries should be matched at one of the four LS levels described
below according to the level of the secretary's supervisor within the company
organizational structure.
LS—1

a. Secretary to the supervisor or head of a small organizational
unit (e.g., fewer than about 25 or 30 persons); or
b. Secretary to a nonsupervisory staff specialist, professional
employee, administrative officer or assistant, skilled technician
or expert. (NOTE: M a n y companies assign stenographers,
rather than secretaries as described above, to this level of
supervisory or nonsupervisory worker.)

LS—2

a. Secretary to an executive or managerial person whose respon­
sibility is not equivalent to one of the specific level situations in
the definition for LS—3, but whose organizational unit normally
numbers at least several dozen employees and is usually divided
into organizational segments which are often, in turn, further
subdivided. In some companies, this level includes a wide range
of organizational echelons; in others, only one or two; or
b. Secretary to the head of an individual plant, factory, etc., (or
other equivalent level of official) that employs, in all, fewer
than 5,000 persons.

LS—3

a. Secretary to the chairman of the board or president of a company
that employs, in all, fewer than 100 persons; or
b. Secretary to a corporate officer (other than chairman of the
board or president) of a company that employs, in all, over 100
but fewer than 5, 000 persons; or
c. Secretary to the head (immediately below the officer level) over
either a major corporatewide functional activity (e.g., marketing,
research, operations, industrial relations, etc.) or a major
geographic or organizational segment (e.g., a regional headquar­
ters; a major division) of a company that employs, in all,
over 5, 000 but fewer than 25, 000 employees; or
d. Secretary to the head of an individual plant, factory, etc.,
(or other equivalent level of official) that employs, in all,
over 5,000 persons; or




LS—4

a. Secretary to the chairman of the board or president of a company
that employs, in all, over 100 but fewer than 5,000 persons; or
b. Secretary to a corporate officer (other than the chairman of
the board or president) of a company that employs, in all,
over 5, 000 but fewer than 25, 000 persons; or
c. Secretary to the head, immediately below the corporate officer
level, of a major segment or subsidiary of a company that
employs, in all, over 25,000 persons.

NOTE: The term "corporate officer" used in the above LS def­
inition refers to those officials who have a significant corporatewide policy­
making role with regard to major company activities. The title "vice
president," though normally indicative of this role, does not in all cases
identify such positions. Vice presidents whose primary responsibility is to
act personally on individual cases or transactions (e.g., approve or deny
individual loan or credit actions; administer individual trust accounts; di­
rectly supervise a clerical staff) are not considered to be "corporate
officers" for purposes of applying the definition.
Level of Secretary's Responsibility (LR)
This factor evaluates the nature of the work relationship between
the secretary and the supervisor, and the extent to which the secretary is
expected to exercise initiative and judgment. Secretaries should be matched
at LR—1 or LR—2 described below according to their level of responsibility.

COMPUTER SYSTEMS ANALYST, BUSINESS

COMPUTER SYSTEMS ANALYST, BUSINESS— Continued

Analyzes business problems to formulate procedures for solving
them by use of electronic data processing equipment. Develops a complete
description of all specifications needed to enable programmers to prepare
required digital computer programs. Work involves most of the following:
Analyzes subject-matter operations to be automated and identifies conditions
and criteria required to achieve satisfactory results; specifies number and
types of records, files, and documents to be used; outlines actions to be
performed by personnel and computers in sufficient detail for presentation
to management and for programming (typically this involves preparation of
work and data flow charts); coordinates the development of test problems and

participates in trial runs of new and revised systems; and recommends
equipment changes to obtain more effective overall operations. (NOTE:
Workers performing both systems analysis and programming should be
classified as systems analysts if this is the skill used to determine their pay.)




Does not include employees primarily responsible for the man­
agement or supervision of other electronic data processing employees,
or systems analysts primarily concerned with scientific or engineering
problems.

C O M P U T E R S Y S T E M S A N A L Y S T , B U S IN E S S — C ontinued

For wage study purposes, systems analysts are classified as follows:
Class A . Works independently or under only general direction on
complex problems involving all phases of systems analysis. Problems are
complex because of diverse sources of input data and multiple-use require­
ments of output data. (For example, develops an integrated production
scheduling, inventory control, cost analysis, and sales analysis record in
which every item of each type is automatically processed through the full
system of records and appropriate followup actions are initiated by the
computer.) Confers with persons concerned to determine the data processing
problems and advises subject-matter personnel on the implications of new or
revised systems of data processing operations. Makes recommendations, if
needed, for approval of major systems installations or changes and for
obtaining equipment.
May provide functional direction to lower level systems analysts
who are assigned to assist.
Class B . Works independently or under only general direction on
problems that are relatively uncomplicated to analyze, plan, program, and
operate. Problems are of limited complexity because sources of input data
are homogeneous and the output data are closely related. (For example,
develops systems for maintaining depositor accounts in a bank, maintaining
accounts receivable in a retail establishment, or maintaining inventory
accounts in a manufacturing or wholesale establishment.) Confers with
persons concerned to determine the data processing problems and advises
subject-matter personnel on the implications of the data processing systems
to be applied.
OR
Works on a segment of a complex data processing scheme or system,
as described for class A. Works independently on routine assignments and
receives instruction and guidance on complex assignments. Work is reviewed
for accuracy of judgment, compliance with instructions, and to insure
proper alignment with the overall system.
Class C. Works under immediate supervision, carrying out analyses
as assigned, usually of a single activity. Assignments are designed to develop
and expand practical experience in the application of procedures and skills
required for systems analysis work. For example, may assist a higher level
systems analyst by preparing the detailed specifications required by pro­
grammers from information developed by the higher level analyst.
COMPUTER PROGRAMMER, BUSINESS
Converts statements of business problems, typically prepared by a
systems analyst, into a sequence of detailed instructions which are re ­
quired to solve the problems by automatic data processing equipment.
Working from charts or diagrams, the programmer develops the pre­
cise instructions which, when entered into the computer system in coded
language, cause the manipulation of data to achieve desired results. Work
involves most of the following: Applies knowledge of computer capa­
bilities, mathematics, logic employed by computers, and particular sub­
ject matter involved to analyze charts and diagrams of the problem to
be programmed; develops sequence of program steps; writes detailed flow
charts to show order in which data will be processed; converts these
charts to coded instructions for machine to follow; tests and corrects



C O M P U T E R P R O G R A M M E R , B U S IN E S S — C on tin u ed

programs; prepares instructions for operating personnel during production
run; analyzes, reviews, and alters programs to increase operating effi­
ciency or adapt to new requirements; maintains records of program de­
velopment and revisions. (NOTE: Workers performing both systems anal­
ysis and programming should be classified as systems analysts if this is
the skill used to determine their pay.)
Does not include employees primarily responsible for the man­
agement or supervision of other electronic data processing employees,
or programmers prim arily concerned with scientific and/or engineering
problems.
For wage study purposes, programmers are classified as follows:
Class A . Works independently or under only general direction
on complex problems which require competence in all phases of pro­
gramming concepts and practices. Working from diagrams and charts
which identify the nature of desired results, major processing steps to
be accomplished, and the relationships between various steps of the prob­
lem solving routine; plains the full range of programming actions needed
to efficiently utilize the computer system in achieving desired end products.
At this level, programming is difficult because computer equip­
ment must be organized to produce several interrelated but diverse prod­
ucts from numerous and diverse data elements. A wide variety and ex­
tensive number of internal processing actions must occur. This requires
such actions as development of common operations which can be re ­
used, establishment of linkage points between operations, adjustments to
data when program requirements exceed computer storage capacity, and
substantial manipulation and resequencing of data elements to form a
highly integrated program.
May provide functional direction to lower level programmers who
are assigned to assist.
Class B . Works independently or under only general direction on
relatively simple programs, or on simple Segments of complex programs.
Program s (or segments) usually process information to produce data in two
or three varied sequences or formats. Reports and listings are produced by
refining, adapting, arraying, or making minor additions to or deletions from
input data which are readily available. While numerous records may be
processed, the data have been refined in prior actions so that the accuracy
and sequencing of data can be tested by using a few routine checks. Typically,
the program deals with routine recordkeeping operations.
OR
Works on complex programs (as described for class A) under
close direction of a higher level programmer or supervisor. May assist
higher level programmer by independently performing less difficult tasks
assigned, and performing more difficult tasks under fairly close direction.

C O M P U T E R P R O G R A M M E R , B U S IN E S S — C on tin u ed

May guide or instruct lower level programmers.
Class C. Makes practical applications of programming practices
and concepts usually learned in formal training courses. Assignments
are designed to develop competence in the application of standard pro­
cedures to routine problems. Receives close supervision on new aspects
of assignments; and work is reviewed to verify its accuracy and conformance
with required procedures.
COMPUTER OPERATOR
Monitors and operates the control console of a digital computer to
process data according to operating instructions, usually prepared by a
programmer. Work includes most of the following: Studies instructions to
determine equipment setup and operations; loads equipment with required
items (tape reels, cards, etc.); switches necessary auxiliary equipment into
circuit, and starts and operates computer; makes adjustments to computer to
correct operating problems and meet special conditions; reviews errors
made during operation and determines cause or refers problem to super­
visor or programmer; and maintains operating records. May test and assist
in correcting program.
For wage study purposes,

computer operators are classified as

follows:
Class A . Operates independently, or under only general direction, a
computer running programs with most of the following characteristics: New
programs are frequently tested and introduced; scheduling requirements are
of critical importance to minimize downtime; the programs are of complex
design so that identification of error source often requires a working knowl­
edge of the total program, and alternate programs may not be available.
May give direction and guidance to lower level operators.
Class B . Operates independently, or under only general direction, a
computer running programs with most of the following characteristics: Most
of the programs are established production runs, typically run on a regularly
recurring basis; there is little or no testing of new programs required; alter­
nate programs are provided in case original program needs major change
or cannot be corrected within a reasonably short time. In common error
situations, diagnoses cause and takes corrective action. This usually in­
volves applying previously programmed corrective steps, or using standard
correction techniques.
OR
Operates under direct supervision a computer running programs or
segments of programs with the characteristics described for class A. May
assist a higher level operator by independently performing less difficult tasks
assigned, and performing difficult tasks following detailed instructions and
with frequent review of operations performed.
Class C . Works on routine programs under close supervision. Is
expected to develop working knowledge of the computer equipment used and
ability to detect problems involved in running routine programs. Usually has
received some formal training in computer operation. May assist higher
level operator on complex programs.



DRAFTER

Class A . Plans the graphic presentation of complex items 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
determinations. May either prepare drawings or direct their preparation by
lower level drafters.
Class B . Perform s nonroutine and complex drafting assignments
that require the application of most of the standardized drawing techniques
regularly used. Duties typically involve such work as: Prepares working
drawings of subassemblies with irregular shapes, multiple functions, and
precise positional relationships between components; prepares architectural
drawings for construction of a building including detail drawings of founda­
tions, wall sections, floor plans, and roof. Uses accepted formulas and
manuals in making necessary computations to determine quantities of
materials to be used, load capacities, strengths, stresses, etc. Receives
initial instructions, requirements, and advice from supervisor. Completed
work is checked for technical adequacy.
Class C. Prepares detail drawings of single units or parts for
engineering, construction, manufacturing, or repair purposes. Types of
drawings prepared include isometric 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 materials are given
with initial assignments. Instructions are less complete when assignments
recur. Work may be spot-checked during progress.
DRAFTER-TRACER
