Occupational Descriptions The primary purpose of preparing job descriptions for the Bureaufs wage surveys is to assist its field staff in classifying 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-time, temporary, and probationary workers. OFFICE BILLER, MACHINE BILLER, MACHINE— Continued columns and computes, and usually prints automatically the debit or credit balances. Does not involve a knowledge of bookkeeping. Works from uniform and standard types of sales and credit slips. Prepares statements, bills, and invoices on a machine other than an ordinary or electromatic typewriter.

The operation usually involves a large number of carbon copies of the bill being prepared and is often done on a fanfold machine. Class A .
