Occupational descriptions__________ 17 Introduction This area is 1 of 75 in which the U.S. Department of Labor’ s Bureau of Labor Statistics conducts surveys of occupational earnings and related benefits. (See list of areas on inside back cover.) In each area, occupational earnings data (A -se r ie s tables) are collected annually. Information on estab lishment practices and supplementary wage benefits (B -series tables) is obtained every third year. This report has no B -se r ie s tables. Each year after all individual area wage surveys have been com pleted, two summary bulletins are issued. The first brings together data for each metropolitan area surveyed; the second presents national and regional estim ates, projected from individual metropolitan area data, for all Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas 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 assistance in determining plant location. Survey results also are used by the U.S. Depart ment of Labor to make wagd determinations under the Service Contract Act of 1965. A -se r ie s tables Tables A - 1 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 areas, 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 workers, electronic data processing workers, industrial nurses, skilled maintenance trades w orkers, and unskilled plant workers. Where possible, data are presented for all industries and for manufac turing and nonmanufacturing separately. Data are not presented for skilled maintenance workers in nonmanufacturing because the number of workers employed in this occupational group in nonmanufacturing is too sm all to warrant separate presentation. This table provides a measure of wage trends after elinimation of changes in average earnings caused by employ ment shifts among establishments as well as turnover of establishments included in survey samples. For further details, see appendix A. Appendixes Appendix A describes the methods and concepts used in the area wage survey program and provides information on the scope of the survey. Appendix B provides job descriptions used by Bureau field econo m ists to classify workers by occupation. A. Earnings Table A-1.

Scope and Method of Survey In each of the 75 1 areas currently surveyed, the Bureau obtains wages and related benefits data from representative establishments within six broad industry divisions: Manufacturing; transportation, communication, and other public utilities; wholesale trade; retail trade; finance, insurance, and real estate; and services. Government operations and the construction and extractive industries are excluded. Establishments having fewer than a prescribed number of workers are also excluded because of insufficient employment in the occupations studied. Appendix table 1 shows the number of establishments and workers estimated to be within the scope of this survey, as well as the number actually studied. Bureau field representatives obtain data by personal visits at 3 - year intervals. In each of the two intervening years, information on employment and occupational earnings only is collected by a combination of personal visit, mail questionnaire, and telephone interview from establishments participating in the previous survey. A sample of the establishments in the scope of the survey is selected for study prior to each personal visit survey. This sample, less estab lishments which go out of business or are no longer within the industrial scope of the survey, is retained for the following two annual surveys. In most cases, establishments new to the area are not considered in the scope of the survey until the selection of a sample for a personal visit survey. The sampling procedures involve detailed stratification of all estab lishments 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 se lection. To obtain optimum accuracy at minimum cost, a greater proportion of large than small establishments 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 classification 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 m em 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, 1 Included in the 75 areas are 5 studies conducted by the Bureau under contract. These areas are Akron, Ohio; Birmingham, Ala.; Norfolk-Virginia Beach-Portsmouth and Newport News—Hampton, V a.—N .C .; Poughkeepsie ■‘-Kingston—Newburgh, N .Y .; and Utica—Rome, N .Y . In addition, the Bureau conducts more limited area studies in approximately 100 areas at the request o f the Employment Standards Administration of the U. S. Department of Labor. and powerplant; and (4) material 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) employment in the occupation is too sm all to provide enough data to m erit presentation, or (2) there is possibility of 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 m ore 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 full-tim e workers, 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 cost-of-livin 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-time 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 measure the level of occupational earnings in an area at a particular time. 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 m ay 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 occu pational 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 composite, areawide estim ates. Industries and establishments differ in pay level and job staffing, and thus contribute differently to the estimates for each job. Pay averages may fail to reflect 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 pro gression 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 pe rformed. Electronic data processing Skilled maintenance Computer systems analysts, classes A , B, and C Computer program m ers, classes A , B, and C Computer operators, classes A, B, and C Carpenters Electricians Painters Machinists Mechanics (machinery) Mechanics (motor vehicle) Pipefitters Tool and die makers 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. Industrial nurses Unskilled plant Registered industrial nurses Janitors, porters, and cleaners Material handling laborers 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 effects on average earnings of employ ment shifts among establishments and turnover of establishments included in survey sam ples. The percent increases, however, are still affected by factors other than wage increases. Hirings, 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 example, 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 dates. When the time span between surveys is other than 12 months, annual 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 pro portionate 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. Occupations used to compute wage trends are: Office clerical Office clerical— Continued Secretaries Stenographers, general Stenographers, senior Typists, cla sses A and B File clerks, cla sses A , B, and C M essengers Switchboard operators Order clerks, classes A and B Accounting clerks, classes A and B Bookkeeping-machine operators, class B Payroll clerks Key entry operators, classes A and B For a more detailed description of the method used to compute these wage trends, see "Improving Area Wage Survey In d e x es," Monthly Labor Review, January 1973, pp. 5 2 -5 7 . Establishment practices and supplementary wage provisions Tabulations on selected establishment practices and supplementary wage provisions (B -se r ie s tables) are not presented in this bulletin. Infor mation for these tabulations is collected at 3-year, intervals. These tabu lations on minimum entrance salaries for inexperienced office workers; shift differentials; scheduled weekly hours and days; paid holidays; paid vacations; and health, insurance, and pension plans are presented (in the B -series tables) in previous bulletins for this area.

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 approriate 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 em phasis 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 pur poses. In applying these job descriptions, the Bureau's field economists are instructed to exclude working supervisors; apprentices; and parttim e, temporary, and probationary workers. Handicapped workers whose earnings are reduced because of their handicap are also excluded. L earn ers, beginners, and trainees, unless specifically included in the job descriptions, are excluded. Office SECRETARY SECRETARY— Continued Assigned as a personal secretary, normally to one individual. Main tains a close and highly responsive relationship to the day-to-day activities of the supervisor. Works fairly independently receiving a minimum of detailed supervision and guidance.

W ork requires the application of experience and judgment in selecting procedures to be followed and in searching for, interpreting, selecting, or coding items to be keypunched from a variety of source docu m ents. On occasion m ay also perform some routine keypunch work. May train inexperienced keypunch operators. purposes, Class A . Works independently or under only general direction on complex problems involving all phases of systems analysis. Problems are complex because of diverse sources of input data and multiple-use require ments of output data. (For example, develops an integrated production scheduling, inventory control, cost analysis, and sales analysis record in which every item of each type is automatically processed through the full system of records and appropriate followup actions are initiated by the computer.) Confers with persons concerned to determine the data processing problems and advises subject-m atter personnel on the implications of new or revised systems of data processing operations. Makes recommendations, if needed, for approval of major system s installations or changes and for obtaining equipment. KEY ENTRY OPERATOR Positions are classified definitions: study follows: P erform s the clerical tasks necessary to process payrolls and to maintain payroll records. Work involves m ost of the following: Processing w orkers' time or production records; adjusting workers' records for changes in wage rates, supplementary benefits, or tax deductions; editing payroll listings against source records; tracing and correcting errors in listings; and assisting in preparation of periodic summary payroll reports.

Work may require a practical knowledge of governmental regulations, company payroll policy, or the computer system for processing payrolls. systems analysts Class B . Works independently or under only general direction on problems that are relatively uncomplicated to analyze, plan, program, and operate. Problems are of limited complexity because sources of input data are homogeneous and the output data are closely related. (For example, 21 COMPUTER SYSTEMS A N ALYST, BUSINESS— Continued COMPUTER PROGRAMMER, BUSINESS— Continued 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 per sons concerned to determine the data processing problems and advises subject-m'atter personnel on the implications of the data processing systems to be applied. At this level, programming is difficult because computer equipment must be organized to produce several interrelated but diverse products from numerous and diverse data elem ents. A wide variety and extensive number of internal processing actions m ust 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 re quirements exceed computer storage capacity, and substantial manipulation and resequencing of data elements to form a highly integrated program. OR Works on a segment of a complex data processing scheme or system, as described for class A . Works independently on routine assign ments and receives instruction and guidance on complex assignments. Work is reviewed for accuracy of judgment, compliance with instructions, and to insure proper alignment with the overall system . Class C . Works under immediate supervision, carrying out analy ses as assigned, usually of a single activity. Assignments are designed to develop and expand practical experience in the application of procedures and skills required for systems analysis work. For example, may assist a higher level system s analyst by preparing the detailed specifications required by programm ers from information developed by the higher level analyst. May provide functional direction to lower level program m ers who are assigned to assist. Class B . Works independently or under only general direction on relatively simple programs, or on simple segments of complex program s. Program s (or segments) usually process information to produce data in two 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 fe w routine checks. Typically, the program deeds with r o u t i n e recordkeeping operations. OR COMPUTER PROGRAMMER, BUSINESS Converts statements of business problem s, typically prepared by a systems analyst, into a sequence of detailed instructions which are required to solve the problems by automatic data processing equipment. Working from charts or diagram s, the program m er develops the precise instructions which, when entered into the computer system in coded language, cause the manipu lation of data to achieve desired resu lts. Work involves m ost of the following; Applies knowledge of computer capabilities, mathematics, logic employed by computers, and particular subject matter involved to analyze charts and diagrams of the problem to be programmed; develops sequence of program steps; writes detailed flow charts to show order in which data will be processed; converts these charts to coded instructions for machine to follow; tests and corrects program s; prepares instructions for operating personnel during production run; analyzes, reviews, and alters programs to increase operating efficiency or adapt to new requirements; maintains re cords of program development and revisions. (NOTE: W orkers performing both system s analysis and programming should be classified as systems analysts if this is the skill used to determine their pay.) Does not include employees prim arily responsible for the manage ment or supervision of other electronic data processing employees, or pro gram m ers prim arily concerned with scientific and/or engineering problem s. For wage study purposes, program m ers are classified as follows; Class A .

Works on complex programs (as described for class A) under close direction of a higher level programmer or supervisor. May assist higher level programmer by independently performing less difficult tasks assigned, and performing more difficult tasks under fairly close direction. May guide or instruct lower level program m ers. Class C . Makes practical applications of programming practices and concepts usually learned in form al training courses. Assignments are designed to develop competence in the application of standard procedures to routine problems. Receives close supervision on new aspects of assign ments; and work is reviewed to verify its accuracy and conformance with required procedures. COMPUTER OPERATOR Monitors and operates the control console of a digital computer to process data according to operating instructions, usually prepared by a pro gram m er. Work includes m ost of the following: Studies instructions to determine equipment setup and operations; loads equipment with required items (tape reels, cards, etc.); switches necessary auxiliary equipment into circuit, and starts and operates computer; makes adjustments to computer to correct operating problems and meet special conditions; reviews errors made during operation and determines cause or refers problem to supervisor or programmer; and maintains operating records. May test and assist in correcting program. For wage study purposes, computer operators are classified as follows: Class A . Operates independently, or under only general direction, a computer running programs with m ost of the following characteristics; New programs are frequently tested and introduced; scheduling requirements COMPUTER OPERATOR— Continued DRAFTER— Continued are of critical importance to minimize downtime; the programs are of complex design so that identification of error source often requires a working knowledge of the total program, and alternate programs may not be available. May give direction and guidance to lower level operators. Class C. Prepares detail drawings of single units or parts for engineering, construction, manufacturing, or repair purposes. Types of drawings prepared include isom etric projections (depicting three dimensions in accurate scale) and sectional views to clarify positioning of components and convey needed information. Consolidates details from a number of sources and adjusts or transposes scale as required. Suggested methods of approach, applicable precedents, and advice on source materials are given with initial assignments. Instructions are less complete when assignments recur. Work may be spot-checked during progress. Class B . Operates independently, or under only general direction, a computer running programs with m ost of the following characteristics: Most of the programs are established production runs, typically run on a regularly recurring basis; there is little or no testing of new programs required; alternate programs are provided in case original program needs m ajor change or cannot be corrected within a reasonably short tim e. In common error situations, diagnoses cause and takes corrective action. This usually involves applying previously programmed corrective steps, or using standard correction techniques.
