An establishment was considered as having a formal plan if it established at least
minimum number of days of sick leave available to each employee.
Such a plan need not be
written, but informal sick leave allowances, determined on an individual basis, were excluded.

1 The Jacksonville Standard M etropolitan Statistical A r e a , as defined by the Bureau of the Budget through January 1968, consists of Duval County.
The "w orkers within scope of study"
estim ates shown in this table provide a reasonably accurate description of the size and composition of the labor force included in the survey. The estim ates are not
intended, however, to
serve as a basis of com parison with other employment indexes for the area to m easure employment trends or levels since (1) planning of wage surveys requires the use of establishment data
compiled considerably in advance of the payroll period studied, and (2) sm all establishm ents are excluded from the scope of the survey.
2 The 1967 edition of the Standard Industrial C lassification Manual was used in classifying
establishm ents by industry division.
3 Includes all establishm ents with total employment at or above the minimum lim itation. A ll outlets (within the area) of companies in such
industries as trade,
finance, auto repair
serv ice , and motion picture theaters are considered as 1 establishm ent.
4 Includes executive, professional, and other workers excluded from the separate plant and office categories.
5 Abbreviated to "public u tilitie s" in the A - and B -s e r ie s tables.
Taxicabs and services incidental to water transportation were excluded.
Jacksonville's electric utility is municipally
operated and is excluded by definition from the scope of the study.
6 This industry division is represented in estim ates for "a ll in d u strie s" and "nonmanufacturing" in the Series A tables, and for "a ll in d u stries" in the Series B tables.
Separate presentation
of data for this division is not made for one or m ore of the following reasons: (1) Employment in the division is too sm all to provide enough data to m erit separate study, (2) the sam ple was
not designed initially to perm it separate presentation, (3) response was insufficient or inadequate to perm it separate presentation, and (4) there is possibility of disclosure of individual
establishment data.
7 W orkers from this entire industry division are represented in estim ates for "a ll in du stries" and "nonmanufacturing11 in the Series A tables, but from the real estate portion only in estimates
for "a ll in d u stries" in the Series B tables.
Separate presentation of data for this division is not made for one or m ore of the reasons given in footnote 6 above.
8 Hotels and m otels; laundries and other personal s erv ice s; business serv ice s; automobile repair, rental, and parking; motion pictures; nonprofit m em bership organizations (excluding religious
and charitable organizations); and engineering and architectural serv ice s.




One-fourth of the w orkers within scope of the survey in the Jacksonville area were
employed in manufacturing firm s.
The following presents the m ajor industry groups and
specific industries as a percent of all manufacturing:

Proportions in various industry divisions may
differ from proportions based on the results of the survey as shown in table 1 above.

(The resu lt should

1 Standard hours reflect the workweek for which employees receive their regular straight-time salaries (exclusive of pay for overtime at
regular and/or premium rates), and the earnings correspond to these weekly hours.
2 The mean is computed for each job by totaling the earnings of all workers and dividing by the number of workers. The median designates
position— half of the employees surveyed receive more than the rate shown; half receive less than the rate shown. The middle range is defined by
2 rates of pay; a fourth of the workers earn less than the lower of these rates and a fourth earn more than the higher rate.
3 Excludes premium pay for overtime and for work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts.
4 These salaries relate to formally established minimum starting (hiring) regular straight-time salaries that are paid for standard
workweeks.
5 Excludes workers in subclerical jobs such as messenger or office girl.
6 Data are presented for all standard workweeks combined, and for the most common standard workweeks reported.
7 Includes all plant workers in establishments currently operating late shifts, and establishments whose formal provisions cover late
shifts, even though the establishments were not currently operating late shifts.
8 Less than 0.05 percent.
9 Less than 0.5 percent.
10 All combinations of full and half days that add to the same amount are combined; for example, the proportion of workers receiving a total
of 9 days includes those with 9 full days and no half days, 8 full days and 2 half days, 7 full days and 4 half days, and so on. Proportions then
were cumulated.
11 Includes payments other than "length of tim e ," such as percentage of annual earnings or flat-sum payments, converted to an equiv alent
time basis; for example, a payment of 2 percent of annual earnings was considered as 1 week's pay. Periods of service were c h o s e n a r b i t r a r i l y
and do not necessarily reflect the individual provisions for progression. For example, the changes in proportions indicated at 1 0 y e a r s ' s e r v i c e
include changes in provisions occurring between 5 and 10 years. Estimates are cumulative. Thus, the proportion eligible for 3 w e e k s ' pay or
more after 10 years includes those eligible for 3 weeks' pay or more after fewer years of service.
12 Estimates listed after type of benefit are for all plans for which at least a part of the cost is borne by the employer. " N o n c o n t r i b u t o r y
plans" include only those plans financed entirely by the employer. Excluded are legally required plans, such as workmen's c o m p e n s a t io n , s o c i a l
security, and railroad retirement.
13 Unduplicated total of workers receiving sick leave or sickness and accident insurance shown separately below. S ick leave plans ar e
limited to those which definitely establish at least the minimum number of days' pay that can be expected by each employee. I n f o r m a l s ick leave
allowances determined on an individual basis are excluded.

O c c u p a t io n a l D e s c r ip t io n s

The prim ary purpose of preparing job descriptions for the Bureau's wage surveys is to a ssist its field staff in classifying into appropriate
occupations w orkers who are employed 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 comparable job content. Because of this emphasis on
interestablishm ent and interarea com parability of occupational content, the Bureau's job descriptions m ay differ significantly from those in use in
individual establishm ents or those prepared for other purposes.
In applying these job descriptions, the Bureau's field economists are instructed
to exclude working sup ervisors; apprentices; learn ers; beginners; trainees; and handicapped, p a rt-tim e, tem porary, and probationary w orkers.

converts these charts to coded instructions for machine to follow; tests and corrects program s;
prepares instructions for operating personnel during production run; analyzes, review s, and alters
program s to increase operating efficiency or adapt to new requirements; maintains records of
program development and revisions. (NOTE: W orkers performing both system s analysis and pro­

COM PUTER PROGRAM ER, BUSINESS— Continued
At this level, programing is difficult because computer equipment m ust be organized to
produce several interrelated but diverse products from numerous and diverse data elements.
A wide variety and extensive number of internal processing actions must 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 requirements exceed
computer storage capacity, and substantial manipulation and resequencing of data elements
to form a highly integrated program .
May provide functional direction to lower level program ers who are assigned to assist.

C lass B . W orks independently or under only general direction on relatively simple
program s, or on sim ple segments of com plex program s.
P rogram s (or segments) usually

and listings are produced by refining, adapting, arraying, or making m inor additions to or
deletions from input data which are readily available. While numerous records m ay be
processed , the data have been refined in prior actions so that the accuracy and sequencing
of data can be tested by using a few routine checks.
Typically, the program deals with
routine record-keeping type operations.
OR
