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 em ployed under a variety of payroll titles and different work arrangements from establishm ent to establishment and
from area to area. This perm its the grouping of occupational wage rates representing com parable job content. Because o f this emphasis on
interestablishment and interarea com parability o f 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 econom ists are instructed
to exclude working supervisors; apprentices; lea rn ers; beginners; train ees; and handicapped, p art-tim e, tem porary, and probationary w orkers.
