NOTE: Table 3 provides p ercents of change in av era ge hourly earn ings for selected
occupational group s, adjusted to exclude the effect of employment sh ifts. The new method
for computing wage trends is based on changes in av erage hourly earn ings for establishm ents
reporting the index jobs in both the curren t and previous year (m atched e stablish m en ts),
holding establishm ent employment in the jobs constant.
The new wage trends a re not linked to the curren t indexes becau se the new wage
trends m easu re changes in m atched establishm ent a v e ra g e s w hereas the curren t indexes
m easu re changes in a re a a v e r a g e s. Other c h a ra c te ristic s of the new wage trends which
d iffer from the curren t ones include (1) earn ings data of office c le r ic a l w orkers and indus
tr ia l n u rse s a re converted to an hourly b a s is , and (2) trend e stim a te s a re provided for
nonmanufacturing e stablish m en ts.

C la ss A. Works independently or under only general direction on com plex problem s which
require com petence in all p h ases of p rogram in g concepts and p r a c tic e s. Working from d ia
g ram s and ch arts which identify the nature of d esired r e s u lts, m ajo r p ro c e ssin g steps to be
accom plished, and the relation sh ip s between v ariou s step s of the problem solving routine;
plans the full range of program ing actions needed to efficiently utilize the com puter system
in achieving d esired end products.
At this level, program ing is difficult becau se com puter equipment m ust be organized to
produce se v e ral in terrelated but d iv erse products from num erous and d iv erse data elem ents.
A wide variety and extensive number of internal p ro cessin g actions m ust occur. This req u ires
such actions as developm ent of common operations which can be reu sed , establishm ent of
linkage points between op eratio n s, adjustm en ts to data when p rogram requirem ents exceed
com puter sto rage capacity, and substan tial m anipulation and resequencing of data elem ents

and listin g s are produced by refining, adapting, a rray in g , or m aking m inor additions to or
deletions from input data which a re readily av ailab le. While num erous reco rd s m ay be
p ro c e sse d , 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 p rogram deals with
routine record-keepin g type o p eration s.
