P re fa c e
The Bureau of Labor Statistics program of annual occupa­
tional wage surveys in m etropolitan areas is designed to provide data
on occupational earnings, and establishment practices and supplemen­
tary wage provisions. It yields detailed data by selected industry
division for each of the areas studied, for geographic regions, and
for the United States. A m ajor consideration in the p rogram is the
need for greater insight into (1) the movement of wages by occupa­
tional category and skill level, and (2) the structure and level of wages
among are a s and industry divisions.
At the end of each survey, an individual area bulletin p re ­
sents the resu lts. A fte r completion of a ll individual area bulletins
for a round of surveys, two sum m ary bulletins are issued.
The first
brings data for each of the metropolitan areas studied into one bu l­
letin.
The second presents information which has been projected from
individual m etropolitan area data to relate to geographic regions and
the United States.
Ninety areas currently are included in the program . In each
a re a , information on occupational earnings is collected annually and on
establishment practices and supplementary wage provisions biennially.
This bulletin presents results of the survey in Cleveland,
Ohio, in September 1971. The Standard Metropolitan Statistical A re a ,
as defined by the Office of Management and Budget (fo rm e rly the
Bureau of the Budget) through January 1968, consists of Cuyahoga,
Geauga, Lake, and Medina Counties.
This study was conducted by the
B ureau's regional office in Chicago, 111., under the general direction
of Lois L. O rr, Assistant Regional D irector for Operations.

Current reports on occupational earnings and supplemen­
tary wage provisions in the Cleveland are a are also available for

tools, jigs and fixtures (Novem ber 1970); and on earnings only
for selected laundry and dry cleaning occupations (September

are available for building construction; printing; local-tran sit
operating em ployees; local truckdrivers and helpers; and g ro cery
store employees.

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 perm its the grouping of occupational wage rates representing comparable job content. Because of this emphasis on
interestablishment and interarea com parability of occupational content, the Bureau's job descriptions may d iffer 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; beginners; trainees; and handicapped, part-tim e, tem porary, and probationary workers.

program.
F or wage study purposes, computer operators are classified as follows:
Class A . Operates independently, or under only general direction, a computer running
program s with most of the following ch aracteristics: New programs are frequently tested
and introduced; scheduling requirements are of critica l importance to m inim ize downtime;
the program s are of complex design so that identification of e rro r source often requires a
working knowledge of the total program , and alternate program s 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
program s with most of the following ch aracteristics: Most of the program s are established
production runs, typically run on a regu larly recurring basis; there is little or no testing




COMPUTER OPERATOR— Continued
of new program s required; alternate program s are provided in case original program needs
m ajor change or cannot be corrected within a reasonable tim e. In common e rro r situa­
tions, diagnoses cause and takes corrective action. This usually involves applying previously
program ed co rrective steps, or using standard correction techniques.
OR
Operates under direct supervision a computer running programs or segments of program s
with the characteristics described fo r class A . May assist a higher level operator by inde­
pendently perform ing less difficult tasks assigned, and perform ing difficult tasks following
detailed instructions and with frequent review of operations perform ed.

30
COM PUTER PROGRAM ER, BUSINESS— Continued
of data to achieve desired results. Work involves m ost of the following: Applies knowledge of
computer capabilities, m athematics, logic employed by computers, and particular subject m atter

converts these charts to coded instructions fo r machine to follow; tests and corrects program s;
prepares instructions fo r operating personnel during production run; analyzes, review s, and alters
program s to increase operating efficien cy or adapt to new requirements; maintains records of
program development and revisions. (N O TE: W orkers perform ing both systems analysis and p ro­
graming should be classified as systems analysts if this is the skill used to determine their pay.)

grams and charts which identify the nature of desired results, m ajor processing steps to be
accomplished, and the relationships between various steps of the problem solving routine;
plans the full range o f program ing actions needed to efficiently utilize the computer system
in achieving desired end products.
At this lev el, program ing is difficult because computer equipment must be organized to
produce several interrelated but diverse products from numerous and diverse data elements.
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 requirements exceed
computer storage capacity, and substantial manipulation and resequencing of data elements
to form a highly integrated program .
May provide functional direction to low er level program ers who are assigned to assist.
Class B . Works independently or under only general direction on rela tively simple
program s, or on simple segments o f complex program s. Program s (or segments) usually

and listings are produced by refining, adapting, arraying, or making m inor additions to or
deletions from input data which are readily available. While numerous records may be
processed, the data have been refined in p rior actions so that the accuracy and sequencing
of data can be tested by using a few routine checks. Typically, the program deals with
routine record-keeping type operations.

May provide functional direction to low er level systems analysts who are assigned to
assist.
Class B . Works independently or under only general direction on problems that are
rela tively uncomplicated to analyze, plan, program , and operate. Problem s are of lim ited
complexity because sources of input data are homogeneous and the output data are closely
related. (F o r example, develops systems fo r maintaining depositor accounts in a bank,
maintaining accounts receivable in a retail establishment, or maintaining inventory. accounts
