1 The Phoenix Standard M etropolitan Statistical A re a , as defined by the Bureau of the Budget through January 1968, co n sists o f M aricopa
County. The "w ork ers within scop e of study" estim ates shown in this table provide a reasonably accu rate d escrip tion o f the s iz e and com position
of the la bor fo r c e included in the survey. The estim ates are not intended, h ow ever, to s e rv e as a b asis o f com p a rison with other em ploym ent
indexes fo r the area to m easu re em ploym ent trends or levels sin ce (1) planning of wage surveys req u ires the use of establishm ent data com piled
con sid era b ly in advance of the p a yroll p eriod studied, and (2) sm all establishm ents a re excluded fro m the scop e of the survey.
2 The 1967 edition o f the Standard Industrial C la ssifica tion Manual was used in cla ssifyin g establishm ents by industry division .
3 Includes a ll establishm ents with total em ploym ent at or above the m inim um lim itation. A ll outlets (within the area) of com panies in such
industries as trad e, finance, auto rep a ir s e r v ic e , and m otion p ictu re theaters a re con sid ered as 1 establishm ent.
4 Includes all w ork ers in all establishm ents with total em ploym ent (within the area) at o r above the m inim um lim itation.
5 A bbreviated to "p u b lic u tilities" in the A -s e r ie s tab les. T axicabs and s e rv ice s incidental to w ater transportation w ere excluded. S everal
e le c tr ic utilities (supplying less than half the e le c t r ic consum ption in M aricopa County) w ere publicly operated and excluded by definition fro m the
scop e o f the study.
6 This industry division is represented in estim ates fo r "a ll in d u stries" and "nonm anufacturing" in the S eries A tables. Separate presentation
of data fo r this division is not m ade fo r one o r m o re o f the follow ing rea son s: (1) Em ploym ent in the d ivision is too sm a ll to provide enough data
to m erit separate study, (2) the sam ple was not designed initially to perm it separate presentation, (3) response was insufficient o r inadequate to
perm it separate presentation, and (4) there is p o ssib ility of d isclo s u re of individual establishm ent data.
7 Hotels and m otels; laundries and other p erson a l s e r v ic e s ; business s e r v ic e s ; autom obile re p a ir, rental, and parking; m otion p ictu res;

The primary purpose of preparing job descriptions for the Bureau's 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
CLERK, FILE
BILLER, MACHINE
Prepares statements, bills, and invoices on a machine other than an ordinary or electromatic typewriter. May also keep records as to billings or shipping charges or perform other
clerical work incidental to billing operations. For wage study purposes, billers, machine, are

Class A . In an established filing system containing a number of varied subject matter
files, classifies and indexes file material such as correspondence, reports, technical docu
ments, etc. May also file this material. May keep records of various types in conjunction
with the files. May lead a small group of lower level file clerks.
Biller, machine (billing machine). Uses a special billing machine (Moon Hopkins, Elliott
Fisher, Burroughs, etc., wllich are combination typing and adding machines) to prepare bills
and invoices from customers' purchase orders, internally prepared orders, shipping memo
randums, etc. Usually involves application of predetermined discounts and shipping charges,
and entry of necessary extensions, which may or may not be computed on the billing machine,
and totals which are automatically accumulated by machine. The operation usually involves
a large number of carbon copies of the bill being prepared and is often done on a fanfold
machine.
Class B. Sorts, codes, and files unclassified material by simple (subject matter) head
ings ~or~partly classified material by finer subheadings. Prepares simple related index and
cross-reference aids. As requested, locates clearly identified material in files and forwards
material. May perform related clerical tasks required to maintain and service files.
Class C. Performs routine filing of material that has already been classified or which
is easily classified in a simple serial classification system (e.g., alphabetical, chronological,
or numerical). As requested, locates readily available material in files and forwards ma
terial; and may fill out withdrawal charge. Performs simple clerical and manual tasks re
quired to maintain and service files.
Biller, machine (bookkeeping machine). Uses a bookkeeping machine (Sundstrand, Elliott
Fisher, Remington Rand, etc., which may or may not have typewriter keyboard) to prepare
customers' bills as part of the accounts receivable operation. Generally involves t;he simulta
neous entry of figures on customers' ledger record. The machine automatically accumulates
figures on a number of vertical 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.
BOOKKEEPING-MACHINE OPERATOR
Operates a bookkeeping machine (Remington Rand, Elliott Fisher, Sundstrand, Burroughs,
National Cash Register, with or without a typewriter keyboard) to keep a record of business
transactions.
Class A. Keeps a set of records requiring a knowledge of and experience in basic
bookkeeping principles, and familiarity with the structure of the particular accounting system
used. Determines proper records and distribution of debit and credit items to be used in each
phase of the work. May prepare consolidated reports, balance sheets, and other records
by hand.
Class B. Keeps a record of one or more phases or sections of a set of records usually
requiring little knowledge of basic bookkeeping. Phases or sections include accounts payable,
payroll, customers' accounts (not including a simple type of billing described under biller,
machine), cost distribution, expense distribution, inventory control, etc. May check or assist
in preparation of trial balances and prepare control sheets for the accounting department.
CLERK, ACCOUNTING
Class A. Under general direction of a bookkeeper or accountant, has responsibility for
keeping one or more sections of a complete set of books or records relating to one phase
of an establishment's business transactions. Work involves posting and balancing subsidiary

invoices or vouchers with proper accounting distribution; and requires judgment and experi
ence in making proper assignations and allocations. May assist in preparing, adjusting, and
closing journal entries; and may direct class B accounting clerks.

days, time, rate, deductions for insurance, and total wages due. May make out paychecks and
assist paymaster in making up and distributing pay envelopes. May use a calculating machine.
COMPTOMETER OPERATOR
Primary duty is to operate a Comptometer to perform mathematical computations. This
job is not to be confused with that of statistical or other type of clerk, which may involve fr e
quent use of a Comptometer but, in which, use of this machine is incidental to performance of
other duties.

14

the items to be punched; extracts information from several documents; and searches for and
interprets information on the document to determine information to be punched. May train
inexperienced operators.
