occupations w orkers who are employed under a variety of payroll title s and different work arrangem en ts from establishm ent to establishm ent and

interestablishm ent and in terarea com parability of occupational content, the B u reau 's job d escrip tion s m ay d iffer significantly from thost n use in

to exclude working su p e rv iso rs; apprentices; le a r n e r s; beginners; train e es; and handicapped, p art-tim e, tem porary, and probationary w orkers.
