The* prim ary purpose of preparing job descriptions for the B u reau 's wage surveys is to a s s is t its field staff in classify in g into aopropriate
occupations workers who are employed under a variety of payroll titles and different work arrangem ents from establishm ent to establishm ent and
from a re a to a re a . This perm its the grouping of occupational wage rates representing com parable job content. B ecause of this em nhasis on
interestablishm ent and in terarea com parability of occupational content, the B u reau's job d escriptions m ay differ significantly from thost n use in
individual establishm ents or those prepared for other p urp oses. In applying these job d escrip tion s, the B u reau 's field econom ists are istructed
to exc lude working su p e rv iso rs; apprentices; le arn ers; beginners; train e es; and handicapped, p art-tim e, tem porary, and probationar • w orkers.

in achieving d esired end products.
At this level, program ing is difficult because com puter equipment m ust be organized to
produce sev e ral in terrelated but d iv erse products from numerous and d iv erse data elem ents.
A wide variety and extensive number of internal p ro c essin g actions m ust occur. This requ ires
such actions as development of common operations which can be reu sed, establishm ent of
linkage points between operations, adjustm ents to data when program requirem ents exceed
com puter storage capacity, and substantial m anipulation and resequencing of data elem ents
to form a highly integrated p ro gram .

and listin g s are produced by refining, adapting, arrayin g, or making m inor additions to or
deletions from input data which are readily av ailable. While numerous reco rd s m ay be
p ro c essed , the data have been refined in p rio r actions so that the accu racy and sequencing
of data can be tested by using a few routine checks. Typically, the program deals with
routine record-keeping type operations.
