Appendix. Occupational Descriptions
The p r i m a r y purpose of preparing job descriptions for the Bureau's w a g e surveys is to assist its field staff in clas sifying into appropriate
occupations w o r k e r s w h o are e m p l o y e d under a variety of payroll titles and different w o r k ar r a n g e m e n t s f r o m establishment to establishment and
f r o m area to area.
This permits the grouping of occupational w a g e rates representing c o m p a r a b l e job content.
B e ca us e of this e m ph as is on
interestablishment and interarea comparability of occupational content, the Bureau's job descriptions m a y differ significantly f r o m 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-time, temporary, and probationary workers.

E x c lu sio n s
Not all positions that are titled "secretary" possess the above characteristics. E x a m p l e s
of positions which are excluded f r o m the definition are as follows: (a) Positions w hich do not m e e t
the "personal" secretary concept described above; (b) stenographers not fully trained in secretarial
type duties; (c) stenographers serving as office assistants to a group of professional, technical,
or managerial persons; (d) secretary positions in which the duties are either substantially m o r e
routine or substantially m o r e c o m p l e x and responsible than those characterized in the definition;

istrative, supervisory, or specialized clerical duties which are not typical of secretarial work.
N O T E : Th e t e r m "corporate officer," used in the level definitions following, refers to
those officials w h o have a significant corporate-wide policymaking role with regard to ma j o r
c o m p a n y activities. Th e title "vice president," though no rmally indicative of this role, does not
in all cases identify such positions. Vice presidents w h o s e p r i m a r y responsibility is to act per
sonally on individual cases or transactions (e.g., approve or de ny 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.

of a c o m p a n y that employs, in all, over 100 but fewer than 5,000 p e r s o n s ; or
c. Secretary to the he ad (immediately below the officer level) over either a m a j o r
corporate-wide functional activity (e.g., marketing, research, operations, industrial rela
tions! etc.) or~a m a j o r geographic or organizational s e g m e n t (e.g., a regional headquarters;
a m a j o r division) of a c o m p a n y that employs, in all, over 5,000 but fewer than 25,000
e m p l o y e e s ; or
a. Secretary to an executive or mana ge ri al pe rs on w h o s e responsibility is not equivalent
to one of the specific level situations in the definition for class B, but w h o s e subordinate staff
norm al ly n u m b e r s at least several dozen e m p l o y e e s and is usually divided into organizational

a wide range of organizational echelons; in others, only one or two; o£
b. Secretary to the he ad of an individual plant, factory, etc. (or other equivalent level

stenographic speed and accuracy; and a thorough working knowledge of general business and office
procedures and of the specific business operations, organization, policies, procedures, files,
workflow, etc. Us e s this knowledge in performing stenographic duties and responsible clerical
tasks such as, maintaining followup files; as sembling material for reports, m e m o r a n d u m s , letters,

SWITCHBOARD OPERATOR
Class A . Operates a single- or multiple-position telephone switchboard handling incoming,
outgoing, intraplant or office calls. P e r f o r m s full telephone information service or handles
c o m p l e x calls, such as conference, collect, overseas, or similar calls, either in addition to
doing routine w o r k as described for switchboard operator, class B, or as a full-time
assignment. ("Full" telephone information service occurs w h e n the establishment has varied
functions that are not readily understandable for telephone information purposes, e.g., because
of overlapping or interrelated functions, and consequently present frequent p r o b l e m s as to
wh i c h extensions are appropriate for calls.)
Class B . Operates a single- or multiple-position telephone switchboard handling incoming,
outgoing, intraplant or office calls. M a y handle routine long distance calls and record tolls.
M a y p e r f o r m limited telephone information service. ("Limited" telephone information service
occurs if the functions of the establishment serviced are readily understandable for telephone
information purposes, or if the requests are routine, e.g., giving extension n u m b e r s w h e n
specific n a m e s are furnished, or if c o m p l e x calls are referred to another operator.)

introduced; scheduling requirements are of critical importance to m i n i m i z e downtime; the

production runs, typically run on a regularly recurring basis; there is little or no testing
of n e w p r o g r a m s required; alternate p r o g r a m s are provided in case original p r o g r a m needs

converts these charts to coded instructions for m a c h i n e to follow; tests and corrects p r og ra ms ;
prepares instructions for operating personnel during production run; analyzes, reviews, and alters
