T h e p r i m a r y pu rp os e of preparing job descriptions for the Bureau's w a g e surveys is to assist its field staff in classifying into appropriate
occupations w o r k e r s w h o are e m p l o y e d under a variety of payroll titles and different w o r k a r r a n g e m e n t s f r o m establishment to establishment and
f r o m area to area.
This permits the grouping of occupational w a g e rates representing c o m p a r a b l e job content. B e c a u s e of this e m p h a s i s on
interestablishment and interarea comparability of occupational content, the Bureau's job descriptions m a y differ significantly f r o m thost :n use in
individual establishments or those prep ar ed 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-time, temporary, and probationary wo rkers.
