NOTE: Most previously published indexes for the Lubbock area used May 1961 as the
base period. They can be converted to the new base period by dividing them by the
corresponding index numbers for June 1967 on the May 1961 base period as shown in the

O c c u p a tio n a l D e s c rip tio n s
The prim ary purpose of preparing jo b d escrip tion s fo r the B ureau's wage surveys is to a ss ist its field staff in cla ssifyin g into appropriate
occupations w ork ers who a re em ployed under a variety of payroll titles and different w ork arrangem ents from establishm ent to establishm ent and
from area to a rea .
This perm its the grouping of occupational wage rates representing com parable job content.
Because of this em phasis on
interestablishm ent and interarea com p arability of occupational content, the B ureau's jo b d escrip tion s may d iffer significantly from those in use in
individual establishm ents or those prepared fo r other p urposes.
In applying these job d escrip tion s, the B ureau's field econ om ists are instructed
to exclude working s u p erv isors; a pprentices; lea rn ers; beginners; train ees; and handicapped, p a rt-tim e, tem porary, and probationary w orkers.
