Change in Occupational Description:
Secretary
Since the Bureau's last survey, the occupational description for
secretary was revised in order to obtain salary information for more specific
categories.
zation and the scope of the supervisor's position are considered in dis
tinguishing these levels.
Data published under the composite title of
secretary are not comparable to data previously published.
The revised descriptions for secretary (classes A , B, C, D) classify
these workers according to levels of responsibility. The size of the organi
The revised occupational descriptions are included in appendix B.
23
Appendix B. Occupational Descriptions
The primary 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, learners, beginners, trainees, handicapped, part-time, temporary, and probationary workers.
