Introduction
This area is 1 of 74 in which the U.S. Department of L abor's Bu­
reau of Labor Statistics conducts surveys of occupational earnings and r e ­
lated benefits. (See list of areas on inside back cover.) In each area,
occupational earnings data (A -s e r ie s 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 summ ary bulletins are issued.
The first brings together data
for each metropolitan area surveyed; the second presents national and r e ­
gional estim ates, projected from individual metropolitan area data, for all
Standard Metropolitan Statistical A reas in the United States, excluding Alaska
and Hawaii.
A m ajor consideration in the area wage survey program is the need
to describe the level and movement of wages in a variety of labor m arkets,
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 a s ­
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.
A -s e r ie s tables
Tables A - l through A - 6 provide estimates of straight-tim e weekly
or hourly earnings for workers in occupations common to a variety of
manufacturing and nonmanufacturing industries.
For the 31 largest survey
a re as, tables A - 8 through A - 13 provide sim ilar data for establishments
employing 500 workers or m ore.




Table A -7 provides percent changes in average hourly earnings of
office clerical w orkers, electronic data processing w orkers, industrial
nurses, skilled maintenance trades w orkers, and unskilled plant w orkers.
Where possible, data are presented for all industries and for manufacturing
and nonmanufacturing separately.
Data are not presented for skilled m ain­
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 m easure 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 sam ples.
For further details, see appendix A.
B -s e r ie s tables
The B -s e r ie s tables present information on minimum entrance
salaries for inexperienced typists and clerks; late-sh ift pay provisions and
practices for plant workers in manufacturing; and data separately for plant
and office workers on scheduled weekly hours and days of fir st-sh ift work­
e r s; paid holidays; paid vacations; health, insurance, and pension plans;
and m ore detailed information on life insurance plans.
Appendixes
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 a re a's industrial composition in manufacturing, and on
labor-m anagem ent agreement coverage.
Appendix B provides job descriptions used by Bureau field econ­
om ists to cla ssify workers by occupation.

Appendix A.
Scope and Method
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 serv ices. 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 em ploy­
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 em ployees.
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 sm all 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 c la s s ifi­
cation if data are not available from the original sample m em ber. If no
suitable substitute is available, additional weight is assigned to a sample
mem ber that is sim ilar to the m issing 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) m aterial 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.

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 -s e r ie s tables because either (1) em ploy­
ment in the occupation is too sm all to provide enough data to merit p resen ­
tation, or (2) there is possibility o f disclosure of individual establishment
data. Separate m en'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 m ore 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 fu ll-tim e
w orkers, 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 co st-of-liv in g
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-tim e 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 m easure the level of occupational earnings in an area
at a particular tim e.
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 firm s 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 com posite, areawide estim ates. Industries

Included in the 74 areas are 4 studies conducted by the Bureau under contract. These areas are
and establishments differ in pay level and job staffing, and thus contribute
Akron, Ohio; Birmingham, A la .; Norfolk—Virginia Beach—Portsmouth and Newport News-Hampton, V a.—N. C . ;
and Syracuse, N .Y . In addition, the Bureau conducts more lim ited area studies in approximately 100 areas
differently to the estimates for each job.
Pay averages may fail to reflect
at the request of die Employment Standards Administration of the U. S. Department of Labor.
accurately the wage differential among jobs in individual establishments.




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 m ore 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 m aterially 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 em ploy­
ment shifts among establishments and turnover of establishments included
in survey sam ples.
The percent in creases, however, are still affected by
factors other than wage increases. H irings, 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 exam ple, 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

rates are shown. (It is assumed that wages increase at a constant rate
between surveys.)

Percent changes for individual areas in the program are computed
as follows:
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.

For a more detailed description of the method used to compute
these wage trends, see "Improving A rea Wage Survey In d e x e s," Monthly
Labor Review, January 1973, pp. 5 2 -5 7 .
Establishment practices and supplementary wage provisions
The incidence of selected establishment practices and supplementary
wage provisions is studied for fu ll-tim e 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 clerica l or related functions.
Lead workers and
trainees are included among nonsupervisory w orkers. Administrative, execu­
tive, professional and part-tim e 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 ) .

In 1977, switchboard operators are included in the wage trend computation for all except the following

areas: Canton, Chicago, Cincinnati, Davenport-Rock Island-Moline, Houston, Huntsville, Jackson, New Orleans,
optimum sampling techniques used and the probability that large establish­
Portland (Oregon), Providence-Warwick—Pawtucket, Richmond, San Antonio, Seattle—Everett, South Bend,
ments are more likely than sm all establishments to have form al entrance
and Wichita.




rates above the subclerical lev el, 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 tim e 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 m ajority 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 fu ll­
tim e first (day) shift workers are expected to work, whether paid for at
straight-tim e or overtime rates.
Paid holidays (table B -4 ) . Holidays are included only if they are
granted annually on a form al 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 tim e 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 a s is , percent of annual earnings, flat-su m
payment, etc.) and the amount of vacation pay granted. Only basic form al
plans are reported. Vacation bonuses, vacation-savings plans, and "extended"
or "sa b b a tica l" benefits beyond basic plans are excluded.
For tabulating vacation pay granted, all provisions are expressed
on a tim e basis. Vacation pay calculated on other than a tim e basis is
converted to its equivalent time period.
Two percent of annual earnings,
for example, is tabulated as 1 week's vacation pay.
A lso , provisions after each specified length of service are related
to all plant or office workers in an establishment regardless of length of




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 m easures of these provisions rather than proportions
of workers actually receiving specific benefits.
Health, insurance, and pension plans (tables B -6 a n d B -7L
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
com m ercial 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 m ajority).
Legally required plans such as
social security, railroad retirem ent, w orkers' disability compensation, and
temporary disability insurance3 are excluded.
Life insurance includes form al 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 em ployee's pay during absence from work because of illn ess.
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.
3 Temporary disability insurance which provides benefits to covered workers disabled by injury or illness
which is not work-connected is mandatory under State laws in California, New Jersey, New York, and Rhode
Island. Establishment plans which meet only the legal requirements are excluded from these data, but those
under which (1) employers contribute more than is legally required or (2) benefits exceed those specified in the
State law are included. In Rhode Island, benefits are paid out of a State fund to which only employees
contribute. In each of the other three States, benefits are paid either from a State fund or through a private plan.
State fund financing: In California, only employees contribute to the State fund; in New Jersey,
employees and employers contribute; in New York, employees contribute up to a specified maximum
and employers pay the difference between the jmployees1 share and the total contribution required.
Private plan financing: In California and New Jersey, employees cannot be required to contribute
more than they would if they were covered by the State fund; in New York, employees can agree
to contribute more if the State rules that the additional contribution is commensurate with the
benefit provided.
Federal legislation (Railroad Unemployment Insurance .Act) provides temporary disability insurance
benefits to railroad workers for illness or injury, whether work-connected or not. The legislation requires
that employers bear the entire cost of the insurance.
4 An establishment is considered as having a formal plan if it specifies at least the minimum number
of days of sick leave available to each employee. Such a plan need not be written, but informal sick leave
allowances determined on an individual basis are excluded.

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 alm ost, always reduced by social security, w orkers' disability
compensation, and private pension benefits payable to the disabled employee.
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 w orker'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).

Labor-management agreement coverage
The following tabulation shows the percent of fu ll-tim e plant and
office workers employed in establishments in the Davenport—Rock Island—
Moline area in which a union contract or contracts covered a m ajority of
the workers in the respective categories, May 1977:

An establishment is considered to have a contract covering all plant
or office workers if a m ajority 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-managem ent con­
tracts in effect, or have contracts that apply to fewer than half of their plant
or office w orkers. Estim ates are not n ecessarily representative of the extent
to which all workers in the area m ay be covered by the provisions of labormanagement agreem ents, because sm all establishments are excluded and the
industrial scope of the survey is limited.

Dental insurance plans provide normal dental service benefits,
usually for fillin gs, extractions, and X -r a y s .
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 lifetim e annuity.




Industrial composition in manufacturing
Two-thirds of the workers within the scope of the survey in the
Davenport area were employed in manufacturing fir m s. The following p r e ­
sents the m ajor industry groups and specific industries as a percent of all
manufacturing:

Appendix B.
Occupational
Descriptions
The prim ary purpose of preparing job descriptions for the Bu­
reau's wage surveys is to a ssist 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
n ers; and p art-tim e, tem porary, 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 o n-th e-job training in some of the lower level professional and
technical occupations.

duties requiring a knowledge of office routine and understanding of the
organization, program s, and procedures related to the work of the supervisor.
Exclusions
Not all positions that are titled "s e c r e ta r y " possess the above
ch aracteristics. Examples of positions which are excluded from the definition
are as follows:

LS—4

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.

a. Secretary to the chairman of the board or president of a company
that em ploys, in a ll, over 100 but fewer than 5,0 0 0 persons; or
b. Secretary to a corporate officer (other than ‘ the chairman of
the board or president) of a company that em ploys, in all,
over 5, 000 but fewer than 25, 000 persons; or
c.

_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 sm all organizational
unit (e .g ., fewer than about 25 or 30 persons); or
b. Secretary to a nonsupervisory staff specialist, professional
em ployee, 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.

b.

LS—3

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
Secretary to the head of an individual plant, factory, etc., (or
other equivalent level of official) that em ploys, in all, fewer
than 5 ,0 0 0 persons.

a. Secretary to the chairman of the board or president of a company
that em ploys, in all, fewer than 100 persons; or
b.

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.
Level of Responsibility 1 (LR—1)
P erform s varied secretarial duties including or comparable to most
of the following:

c. Secretary to the head (immediately below the officer level) over
either a m ajor corporatewide functional activity (e .g ., marketing,
research, operations, industrial relations, etc.) or a major
geographic or organizational segment (e .g ., a regional headquar­
te r s; a m ajor division) of a company that em ploys, in all,
over 5, 000 but fewer than 2 5 ,0 0 0 em ployees; or




Secretary to the head, immediately below the corporate officer
level, of a m ajor segment or subsidiary of a company that
em ploys, in all, over 2 5 ,0 0 0 persons.

NOTE: The term "corporate o ffic e r " 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
p resid en t," though normally indicative of this role, does not in all cases
identify such positions. Vice presidents whose prim ary 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
o ffic e r s" for purposes of applying the definition.

Secretary to a corporate officer (other than chairman of the
board or president) of a company that em ploys, in all, over 100
but fewer than 5, 000 persons; or

d. Secretary to the head of

problem s.
For wage study purposes, program m ers are classified as follows:

system s analysts

Class B . Works independently or under only general direction on
problems that are relatively 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.
(For example,
develops system s 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-m atter personnel on the implications of the data processing system s
to be applied.

charts to coded instructions for machine to follow; tests and corrects




program s; prepares instructions for operating personnel during production
run; analyzes, review s, and alters program s to increase operating effi­
ciency or adapt to new requirements; maintains records of program de­
velopment and revisions. (NOTE: W orkers performing both system s anal­
ysis and programming should be classified as system s analysts if this is
the skill used to determine their pay.)

C lass 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 resu lts, m ajor processing steps to
be accomplished, and the relationships between various steps of the prob­
lem solving routine; plans 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 elem ents. 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 program m ers who
are assigned to assist.

or three varied sequences or form ats. 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.
