1 The Memphis Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area , as defined by the Bureau of the Budget through January 1968, consists of Shelby
County, Tenn.; and Crittenden County, Ark. The " w or ke rs within scope of study" estimates shown in this table provide a reasonably accurate
description of the size and composition of the labor f o r c e included in the survey. The estimates are not intended, however, to se rve as a basis
of c om par iso n with other employment indexes for the area to meas ure employment trends or levels since (1) planning of wage surveys requires
the use of establishment data compiled considerably in advance of the payroll per iod studied, and (2) small establishments are excluded f ro m the
scope of the survey.
2 The 1967 edition of the Standard Industrial Classification Manual was used in classifying establishments by industry division.
3 Includes all establishments with total employment at or above the minimum limitation. All outlets (within the area) of companies in such
industries as trade, finance, auto repair s er vi c e, and motion picture theaters are co nsidered as 1 establishment.
4 Includes all w o rk e rs in all establishments with total employment (within the area) at or above the minimum limitation.
5 Abbreviated to "public utilities" in the A - s e r i e s tables. Taxicabs and se r vi c e s incidental to water transportation we re excluded. Memphis'
e le ctr ic and gas utilities are municipally operated and are excluded by definition f r o m the scope of the study.
6 This industry division is represented in estimates for "a ll industries" and "nonmanufacturing" in the Series A tables. Separate presentation
of data for this division is not made for one or m o r e of the following reasons: (1) Employment in the division is too small to provide enough data
to m e r it separate study, (2) the sample was not designed initially to permit separate presentation, (3) response was insufficient or inadequate to
perm it separate presentation, and (4) there is possibility of di sc los ure of individual establishment data.
7 Hotels and mot els ; laundries and other per sonal s e r vi c e s ; business s er v ic e s ; automobile repair, rental, and parking; motion pictures;
nonprofit m em ber shi p organizations (excluding religious and charitable organizations); and engineering and architectural s er v ic e s .
Nearly one-half of the wo rke rs within scope of the survey in the Memphis area
we re employed in manufacturing f ir m s .
The following presents the m aj or industry groups
and spec ifi c industries as a percent of all manufacturing:

The primary purpose of preparing job descriptions for the Bureau's wage surveys is to a ssist its field staff in c la s sifying into appropriate
occupations workers who are employed under a variety of payroll titles and different work arrangements from establishment to establishment and
from area to area.
This permits the grouping of occupational wage rates representing comparable job content.
Because of this emphasis 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 purposes.
In applying these job descriptions, the Bureau's field economists are instructed
to exclude working supervisors; apprentices; learners; beginners; trainees; and handicapped, part-tim e, temporary, and probationary workers.

istrative, supervisory, or specialized clerical duties which are not typical of secretarial work.
NOTE: The term "corporate o ffic e r ," used in the level definitions following, refers to
those officials who have a significant corporate-wide policymaking role with regard to major
company activities. The title "v ice p resid en t," though norm ally indicative of this role, does not
in all cases identify such positions. Vice presidents whose prim ary responsibility is to act per
sonally on individual cases or transactions (e.g ., approve or deny individual loan or credit actions;
administer individual trust accounts; directly supervise a clerical staff) are not considered to be
"corporate officers" for purposes of applying the following level definitions.

involves combining material from several sources or responsibility for correct spelling,
syllabication, punctuation, etc., of technical or unusual words or foreign language material;
and planning layout and typing of complicated statistical tables to maintain uniformity and
balance in spacing. May type routine form letters varying details to suit circumstances.
C lass B . Operates more difficult tabulating or electrical accounting machines such as the
tabulator and calculator, in addition to the sorter, reproducer, and collator.
This work is
performed under specific instructions and may include the performance of some wiring from
diagram s. The work typically involves, for example, tabulations involving a repetitive
accounting exercise, a complete but sm all tabulating study, or parts of a longer and more
complex report. Such reports and studies are usually of a recurring nature where the pro
cedures are well established. May also include the training of new employees in the basic
operation of the machine.

COMPUTER OPERATOR
COMPUTER PROGRAMER,
Monitors and operates the control console of a digital computer to process data according
to operating instructions, usually prepared by a program er. Work includes most 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 problem s and meet
special conditions; reviews erro rs made during operation and determines cause or refers problem
to supervisor or program er; and maintains operating records. May test and assist in correcting
program.
Converts statements of business problem s, typically prepared by a system s 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 programer develops the precise
instructions which, when entered into the computer system in coded language, cause the manipu
lation of data to achieve desired results. Work involves most of the following: Applies knowledge
of computer capabilities, m athematics, logic employed by computers, and particular subject matter
involved to analyze charts and diagrams of the problem to be programed.
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
program s to increase operating efficiency or adapt to new requirements; maintains records of
program development and revisions. (NOTE; Workers performing both system s analysis and pro
graming should be classified as system s analysts if this is the skill used to determine their pay.)
For wage study purposes,
computer operators are classified as follows;
C lass A . Operates independently, or under only general direction, a compute i running
program s with most of the following characteristics; New program s are frequently tested and
introduced; scheduling requirements are of critical importance to m inim ize downtime; the
program s are of complex design so that identification of error source often requires a working
knowledge of the total program , and alternate program s may not be available. May give
direction and guidance to lower level operators.
Class B. Operates independently, or under only general direction, a computer running
programs with most of the following characteristics; Most of the program s are established
production runs, typically run on a regularly recurring b a sis; there is little or no testing
of new program s required; alternate program s are provided in case original program needs
m ajor change or cannot be corrected within a reasonable time. In common error situations,
diagnoses cause and takes corrective action. This usually involves applying previously pro
gramed corrective steps, or using standard correction techniques.
BUSINESS
Does not include employees prim arily responsible for the management or supervision of
other electronic data processing (EDP) employees, or program ers primarily concerned with
scientific and/or engineering problem s.
For wage study purposes,
program ers are classified as follows:
Class A . Works independently or under only general direction on complex problems which
require competence in all phases of programing concepts and practices. Working from dia
gram s and charts which identify the nature of desired results, major processing steps to be
accomplished, and the relationships between various steps of the problem solving routine,
plans the full range of programing actions needed to efficiently utilize the computer system
in achieving desired end products.
OR
Operates under direct supervision a computer running program s or segments of programs
with the characteristics described for class A. May assist a higher level operator by inde
pendently performing less difficult tasks assigned, and performing difficult tasks following
detailed instructions and with frequent review of operations perform ed.
C lass C . Works on routine program s under close supervision.
Is expected to develop
working knowledge of the computer equipment used and ability to detect problems involved in
running routine program s. Usually has received some form al training in computer operation.
May assist higher level operator on complex program s.
At this level, programing is difficult because computer equipment must 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.
