The prim ary purpose of preparing job descriptions for the B ureau's wage surveys is to a ssist its field staff in classifying into appropriate
occupations workers who are em ployed under a variety of payroll titles and different work arrangements from establishment to establishment and
from area to area. This perm its the grouping of occupational wage rates representing com parable job content. Because of this emphasis on
interestablishm ent and interarea com parability of occupational content, the B ureau's job descriptions m ay differ significantly from those in use in
individual establishm ents or those prepared fo r other purposes. In applying these job descriptions, the Bureau's field econom ists are instructed
to exclude working sup ervisors; apprentices; lea rn ers; beginners; trainees; and handicapped, part-tim e, tem porary, and probationary w orkers.
