Occupational descriptions___________ 27 Introduction This area is 1 of 72 in which the U.S. Department of Labor' s Bureau of Labor Statistics conducts surveys of occupational earnings and related benefits. (See list of areas on inside back cover.) In each area, earnings data for selected occupations (A -s e r ie s tables) are collected annually. Information on establishment practices and supplementary wage benefits (B -s e r ie s tables) is obtained every third year. Where possible, data are presented for all industries and for manufacturing and nonmanufacturing separately. Data are not presented for skilled m ain tenance workers in nonmanufacturing because the number of workers em ployed in this occupational group in nonmanufacturing is too sm all to warrant separate presentation. This table provides a m easure of wage trends after elimination of changes in average earnings caused by employment shifts among establishments as well as turnover of establishments included in survey samples. For further details, see appendix A. Each year after all individual area wage surveys have been com pleted, two summ ary bulletins are issued. The first brings together data for each metropolitan area surveyed; the second presents national and r e gional estim ates, projected from individual metropolitan area data, for all Standard Metropolitan Statistical A reas in the United States, excluding Alaska and Hawaii. Tables A -8 and A -9 provide for the first time m easures of average pay relationships within establishments. These m easures may differ consid erably from the pay relationships of overall averages published in tables A - l through A -6 . See appendix A for details. A major consideration in the area wage survey program is the need to describe the level and movement of wages in a variety of labor m arkets, through the analysis of (1) the level and distribution of wages by occupation, and (2) the movement of wages by occupational category and skill level. The program develops information that may be used for many purposes, including wage and salary administration, collective bargaining, and a s sistance in determining plant location. Survey results also are used by the U.S. Department of Labor to make wage determinations under the Service Contract Act of 1965. B -se r ie s tables The B -se r ie s tables present information on minimum entrance salaries for inexperienced typists and clerks; late-sh ift pay provisions and practices for production and related workers in manufacturing; and data separately for production and related workers and office workers on sched uled weekly hours and days of first-sh ift w orkers; paid holidays; paid vaca tions; health, insurance, and pension plans; and m ore detailed information on life insurance plans. A -s e r ie s tables Appendixes Tables A - l through A -6 provide estimates of straight-tim e weekly or hourly earnings for workers in occupations common to a variety of manufacturing and nonmanufacturing industries. The occupations are defined in appendix B. For the 31 largest survey a re as, tables A -1 0 through A -1 5 provide sim ilar data for establishments employing 500 workers or m ore. Appendix A describes the methods and concepts used in the area wage survey program. It provides information on the scope of the area survey, the area's industrial composition in manufacturing, and lab ormanagement agreement coverage. Table A -7 provides percent changes in average hourly earnings of office clerical w orkers, electronic data processing w orkers, industrial nurses, skilled maintenance trades w orkers, and unskilled plant workers. Appendix B provides job descriptions used by Bureau field rep re sentatives to classify workers by occupation. 2 Earnings Table A-1.

Periods of service are chosen arbitrarily and do not necessarily reflect individual provisions for progression; for example, changes in proportions at 10 years include changes between S and 10 years. Estimates are cumula tive. Thus, the proportion eligible for at least 3 weeks' pay after 10 years includes those eligible for at least 3 weeks' pay after fewer years of service. 14 Estimates listed after type of benefit are for all plans for which at least a part of the cost is borne by the employer. "Noncontributory plans" include only those financed entirely by the employer. Excluded are legally required plans, such as workers' disability compensation, social se curity, and railroad retirement. 15 Unduplicated total of workers receiving sick leave or sickness and accident insurance shown separately below. Sick leave plans are limited to those which definitely establish at least the minimum number of days' pay that each employee can expect. Informal sick leave allowances determined on an individual basis are excluded. 16 Estimates under "A ll plans" relate to all plans for which at least a part of the cost is borne by the employer. Estimates under "Noncontrib utory plans" include only those financed entirely by the employer. 17 For "A ll in d u stries," all full-tim e production and related workers or office workers equal 100 percent. For "M anufacturing," all full-time production and related workers or office workers in manufacturing equal 100 percent. 18 The mean amount is computed by multiplying the number of workers provided insurance by the amount of insurance provided, totaling the products, and dividing the sum by the number of workers. The median indicates that half of the workers are provided an amount equal to or smaller and half an amount equal to or larger than the amount shown. Middle range (50 percent)— a fourth of the workers are provided an amount equal to or less than the sm aller amount and a fourth are provided an amount equal to or more than the larger amount. Middle range (80 percent)— 10 percent of the workers are provided an amount equal to or less than the smaller amount and 10 percent are provided an amount equal to or more than the larger amount. 19 A factor of annual earnings is the number by which annual earnings are multiplied to determine the amount of insurance provided. For example, a factor of 2 indicates that for annual earnings of $ 10,000 the amount of insurance provided is $ 2 0 ,0 0 0 . 1 Standard hours reflect the workweek for which employees receive their regular straight-tim e salaries (exclusive of pay for overtime at reg ular and/or premium rates), and the earnings correspond to these weekly hours. 2 The mean is computed for each job by totaling the earnings of all workers and dividing by the number of workers. The median desig nates position— half of the workers receive the same or more and half r e ceive the same or less than the rate shown. The middle range is defined by two rates of pay; a fourth of the workers earn the same or less than the lower of these rates and a fourth earn the same or more than the higher rate. 3 Earnings data relate only to workers whose sex identification was provided by the establishment. 4 Excludes premium pay for overtime and for work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts. Estim ates for periods ending prior to 1976 relate to men only for skilled maintenance and unskilled plant workers. All other estimates r e late to men and women. 6 Data do not meet publication criteria or data not available. 7 Form ally established minimum regular straight-time hiring sa l aries that are paid for standard workweeks. Data are presented for all standard workweeks combined, and for the most common standard work weeks reported. 8 Excludes workers in subclerical jobs such as m essenger. 9 Includes all production and related workers in establishments currently operating late shifts, and establishments whose formal provisions cover late shifts, even though the establishments were not currently operating late shifts. 10 Less than 0.05 percent. 11 Less than 0.5 percent. 12 A ll combinations of full and half days that add to the same amount; for exam ple, the proportion of workers receiving a total of 10 days includes those with 10 full days and no half days, 9 full days and 2 half days, 8 full days and 4 half days, and so on. Proportions then were cumulated. 21 Appendix A. Scope and Method of Survey In each of the 72 1 areas currently surveyed, the Bureau obtains wages and related benefits data from representative establishments within six broad industry divisions: Manufacturing; transportation, communication, and other public utilities; wholesale trade; retail trade; finance, insurance, and real estate; and serv ices. Government operations and the construction and extractive industries are excluded. Establishments having fewer than a prescribed number of workers are also excluded because of insufficient employment in the occupations studied. Appendix table 1 shows the number of establishments and workers estimated to be within the scope of this survey, as well as the number actually studied. Bureau field representatives obtain data by personal visits at 3-y ea r intervals. In each of the two intervening y ea rs, information on employment and occupational earnings only is collected by a combination of personal visit, m ail questionnaire, and telephone interview from establishments participating in the previous survey. A sample of the establishments in the scope of the survey is selected for study prior to each personal visit survey. This sample, less establishments which go out of business or are no longer within the industrial scope of the survey, is retained for the following two annual surveys. In most ca ses, establishments new to the area are not considered in the scope of the survey until the selection of a sample for a personal visit survey. The sampling procedures involve detailed stratification of all establishments within the scope of an individual area survey by industry and number of em ployees. F rom this stratified universe a probability sample is selected, with each establishment having a predetermined chance of selection. To obtain optimum accuracy at minimum cost, a greater proportion of large than sm all establishments is selected. When data are combined, each establishment is weighted according to its probability of selection so that unbiased estim ates are generated. For example, if one out of four establishments is selected, it is given a weight of 4 to represent itself plus three others. An alternate of the same original probability is chosen in the same industry-size classification if data are not available from the original sample m em ber. If no suitable substitute is available, additional weight is assigned to a sample m em ber that is sim ilar to the m issing unit. Included in the 72 areas are 2 studies conducted by the Bureau under contract. These areas are Akron, Ohio and Poughkeepsie—Kingston-Newburgh, N .Y . In addition, the Bureau conducts more limited area studies in approximately 100 areas at the request of the Employment Standards Administration of the U. S. Department of Labor. Occupations and earnings Occupations selected for study are common to a variety of manufac turing and nonmanufacturing industries, and are of the following types: (1) Office clerical; (2) professional and technical; (3) maintenance, toolroom, and powerplant; and (4) material movement and custodial. Occupational classification is based on a uniform set of job descriptions designed to take account of interestablishment variation in duties within the same job. Occupations selected for study are listed and described in appendix B. Unless otherwise indicated, the earnings data following the job titles are for all industries combined. Earnings data for some of the occupations listed and described, or for some industry divisions within the scope of the survey, are not presented in the A -s e r ie s tables because either (1) employ ment in the occupation is too small to provide enough data to merit presen tation, or (2) there is possibility of disclosure of individual establishment data. Separate men's and women's earnings data are not presented when the number of workers not identified by sex is 20 percent or more of the men or women identified in an occupation. Earnings data not shown separately for industry divisions are included in data for all industries combined. Likewise, for occupations with m ore than one level, data are included in the overall classification when a subclassification is not shown or information to subclassify is not available. Occupational employment and earnings data are shown for full-tim e w orkers, i.e ., those hired to work a regular weekly schedule. Earnings data exclude premium pay for overtime and for work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts. Nonproduction bonuses are excluded, but cost-of-livin g allowances and incentive bonuses are included. Weekly hours for office clerical and professional and technical occupations refer to the standard workweek (rounded to the nearest half hour) for which employees receive regular straight-time salaries (exclusive of pay for overtime at regular and/or premium rates). Average weekly earnings for these occupations are rounded to the nearest half dollar. V ertical lines within the distribution of workers on some A-tables indicate a change in the size of the class intervals. These surveys measure the level of occupational earnings in an area at a particular tim e. Comparisons of individual occupational averages over time may not reflect expected wage changes. The averages for individual jobs are affected by changes in wages and employment patterns. For example, proportions of workers employed by high- or low-wage firm s may change, or high-wage workers may advance to better jobs and be replaced by new workers at lower rates. Such shifts in employment could decrease an occupational average even though m ost establishments in an area increase wages during the year. Changes in earnings of occupational groups, shown in table A - 7, are better indicators of wage trends than are earnings changes for individual jobs within the groups. Average earnings reflect composite, areawide estimates. Industries and establishments differ in pay level and job staffing, and thus contribute differently to the estimates for each job. Pay averages may fail to reflect accurately the wage differential among jobs in individual establishments. Average pay levels for men and women in selected occupations should not be assumed to reflect differences in pay of the sexes within individual establishments. Factors which may contribute to differences include progression within established rate ranges (only the rates paid incumbents are collected) and performance of specific duties within the general survey job descriptions. Job descriptions used to classify employees in these surveys usually are more generalized than those used in individual establishments and allow for minor differences among establishments in specific duties perform ed. Occupational employment estimates represent the total in all estab lishments within the scope of the study and not the number actually surveyed. Because occupational structures among establishments differ, estimates of occupational employment obtained from the sample of establishments studied serve only to indicate the relative importance of the jobs studied. These differences in occupational structure do not affect materially the accuracy of the earnings data. Skilled maintenanc Continued Unskilled plant Mechanics (motor vehicle) Pipefitters Tool and die makers Janitors, porters, and cleaners Material handling laborers Percent changes for individual areas in the program are computed as follows: 1. Average earnings are computed for each occupation for the 2 years being compared. The averages are derived from earnings in those establishments which are in the survey both years; it is assumed that employment remains unchanged. 2. Each occupation is assigned a weight based on its proportionate employment in the occupational group in the base year. 3. These weights are used to compute group averages. Each occupation's average earnings (computed in step 1) is multiplied by its weight. The products are totaled to obtain a group average. 4. The ratio of group averages for 2 consecutive years is computed by dividing the average for the current year by the average for the earlier year. The result— expressed as a percent— less 100 is the percent change. Wage trends for selected occupational groups The percent increases presented in table A -7 are based on changes in average hourly earnings of men and women in establishments reporting the trend jobs in both the current and previous year (matched establishments). The data are adjusted to remove the effect on average earnings of employ ment shifts among establishments and turnover of establishments included in survey sam ples. The percent increases, however, are still affected by factors other than wage increases. Hirings, layoffs, and turnover may affect an establishment average for an occupation when workers are paid under plans providing a range of wage rates for individual jobs. In periods of increased hiring, for example, new employees may enter at the bottom of the range, depressing the average without a change in wage rates. The percent changes relate to wage changes between the indicated dates. When the tim e span between surveys is other than 12 months, annual (It is assumed that wages increase at a constant rates are also shown. rate between surveys.) Occupations used to compute wage trends are: 2 Office clerical Electronic data processing 2 Secretaries Stenographers, senior Stenographers, general Typists, cla sses A and B File clerk s, cla sses A , B, and C M essengers Switchboard operators Order clerk s, cla sses A and B Accounting clerk s, cla sses A and B Payroll clerks Key entry operators, classes A and B Computer systems analysts, classes A , B, and C Computer program m ers, classes A , B, and C Industrial nurses Registered industrial nurses Skilled maintenance Carpenters Electricians Painters Machinists Mechanics (machinery' The earnings o f computer operators are not included in the wage trend computation for this introduced in this survey which is not equivalent to the previous description. A for revised job description is being Digitized FRASER For a more detailed description of the method used to compute these wage trends see "Improving Area Wage Survey Indexes," Monthly Labor Review, January 1973, pp. 5 2 -5 7 . Average pay relationships within establishments Relative m easures of occupational pay are presented in table A -8 for white-collar occupations and in table A -9 for blue-collar occupations. These relative values reflect differences in pay between occupations within individual establishments. Relative pay values are computed by dividing an establishment's average earnings for an occupation being compared by the average for another occupation (designated as 100) and multiplying the quotient by 100. For example, if janitors in a firm average $4 an hour and forklift operators $ 5 , forklift operators have a relative pay value of 125 compared with janitors. ($5 -j- $4 = 1.25 x 100 = 125.) In combining the relatives of the individual establishments to arrive at an overall average, each establishment is considered to have as many relatives as it has weighted workers in the two jobs being compared. Pay relationships based on overall averages may differ considerably because of the varying contribution of high- and low-wage establishments to the averages. For example, the overall average hourly earnings for forklift operators may be 50 percent more than the average for janitors because the average for forklift operators may be strongly influenced by earnings in high-wage establishments while the average for janitors may be strongly influenced by earnings in low-wage establishments. In such a case, the intra-establishment relationship will indicate a much sm aller difference in earnings. Establishment practices and supplementary wage provisions The incidence of selected establishment practices and supplementary wage provisions is studied for full-tim e production and related workers and office workers. Production and related workers (referred to hereafter as group. production workers) include working supervisors and all nonsupervisory workers (including group leaders and trainees) engaged in fabricating, processing, assem bling, inspection, receiving, storage, handling, pack ing, warehousing, shipping, maintenance, repair, janitorial and guard s e r v ices, product development, auxiliary production for plant's own use (e .g ., powerplant), and recordkeeping and other services closely a s s o c i ated with the above production operations. (Cafeteria and route workers are excluded in manufacturing industries but included in nonmanufacturing industries.) In finance and insurance, no workers are considered to be production workers. Office workers include working supervisors and all nonsupervisory workers (including lead workers and trainees) performing clerical or related office functions in such departments as accounting, advertising, purchasing, collection, credit, finance, legal, payroll, personnel, sa le s, industrial relations, public relations, executive, or transportation. Administrative, executive, professional, and part-tim e employees as well as construction workers utilized as separate work forces are excluded from both the production and office worker categories. written form or established by custom). Holidays in a particular year they fall on a nonworkday granted another day off. Paid personal holiday the automobile and related industries, are included Minimum entrance salaries (table B - l ) . Minimum entrance salaries for office workers relate only to the establishments visited. Because of the optimum sampling techniques used and the probability that large establish ments are m ore likely than sm all establishments to have form al entrance rates above the subclerical level, the table is more representative of policies in medium and large establishments. (The " X 's " shown under standard weekly hours indicate that no meaningful totals are applicable.) For tabulating vacation pay granted, all provisions are expressed on a time basis. Vacation pay calculated on other than a time basis is converted to its equivalent time period. Two percent of annual earnings, for example, is tabulated as 1 week's vacation pay. Shift differentials— manufacturing (table B -2 ). Data were collected on policies of manufacturing establishments regarding pay differentials for production workers on late shifts. Establishments considered as having policies are those which (1) have provisions in writing covering the operation of late shifts, or (2) have operated late shifts at any time during the 12 months preceding a survey. When establishments have several differentials which vary by job, the differential applying to the majority of the production workers is recorded. When establishments have differentials which apply only to certain hours of work, the differential applying to the m ajority of the shift hours is recorded. For purposes of this study, a late shift is either a second (evening) shift which ends at or near midnight or a third (night) shift which starts at or near midnight. Differentials for second and third shifts are summ arized separately for (1) establishment policies (an establishment's differentials are weighted by all production workers in the establishment at the time of the survey) and (2) effective practices (an establishment's differentials are weighted by production workers employed on the specified shift at the time of the survey). Scheduled weekly hours; paid holidays; paid vacations; and health, insurance] and pension plans. Provisions which apply to a majority of the production or office workers in an establishment are considered to apply to all production or office workers in the establishment; a practice or provision is considered nonexistent when it applies to less than a m ajority. Holidays; vacations; and health, insurance, and pension plans are considered applicable to employees currently eligible for the benefits as well as to employees who will eventually become eligible. Scheduled weekly hours and days (table B -3 ). Scheduled weekly hours and days refer to the number of hours and days per week which fu ll time first (day) shift workers are expected to work, whether paid for at straight-tim e or overtime rates. Paid holidays (table B -4 ). Holidays are included if workers who are not required to work are paid for the tim e off and those required to work receive premium pay or compensatory time off. They are included only iffor they are granted annually on a form al basis (provided for in Digitized FRASER are included even though and employees are not plans, typically found in as paid holidays. Data are tabulated to show the percent of workers who (1) are granted specific numbers of whole and half holidays and (2) are granted specified amounts of total holiday time (whole and half holidays are aggregated). Paid vacations (table B -5 ) . Establishments report their method of calculating vacation pay (time basis, percent of annual earnings, flat-sum payment, etc.) and the amount of vacation pay granted. Only basic formal plans are reported. Vacation bonuses, vacation-savings plans, and "extended" or "sabbatical" benefits beyond basic plans are excluded. A lso, provisions after each specified length of service are related to all production or office workers in an establishment regardless of length of service. Vacation plans commonly provide for a larger amount of vacation pay as service lengthens. Counts of production or office workers by length of service were not obtained. The tabulations of vacation pay granted present, therefore, statistical measures of these provisions rather than proportions of workers actually receiving specific benefits. Health, insurance, and pension plans (tables B -6 and B -7 ) . Health, insurance, and pension plans include plans for which the employer pays either all or part of the cost. The cost may be (1) underwritten by a com m ercial insurance company or nonprofit organization, (2) covered by a union fund to which the employer has contributed, or (3) borne directly by the employer out of operating funds or a fund set aside to cover the cost. A plan is included even though a majority of the employees in an establish ment do not choose to participate in it because they are required to bear part of its cost (provided the choice to participate is available or will eventually become available to a majority). Legally required plans such as social security, railroad retirement, w orkers' disability compensation, and temporary disability insurance 3 are excluded. 3 Temporary disability insurance which provides benefits to covered workers disabled by injury or illness which is not work-connected is mandatory under State laws in California, New Jersey, New York, and Rhode Island. Establishment plans which meet only the legal requirements are excluded from these data, but those under which (1) employers contribute more than is legally required or (2) benefits exceed those specified in the State law are included. In Rhode Island, benefits are paid out of a State fund to which only employees contribute. In each of the other three States, benefits are paid either from a State fund or through a private plan. State fund financing: In California, only employees contribute to the State fund; in New Jersey, employees and employers contribute; in New York, employees contribute up to a specified maximum and employers pay the difference between the employees' share and the total contribution required. Private plan financing: In California and New Jersey, employees cannot be required to contribute more than they would if they were covered by the State fund; in New York, employees can agree to contribute more if the State rules that the additional contribution is commensurate with the benefit provided. Federal legislation ( Railroad Unemployment Insurance A ct) provides temporary disability insurance benefits to railroad workers for illness or injury, whether work-connected or not. The legislation requires that employers bear the entire cost of the insurance. Life insurance includes formal plans providing indemnity (usually through an insurance policy) in case of death of the covered worker. Information is also provided in table B -7 on types of life insurance plans and the amount of coverage iij all industries combined and in manufacturing. Accidental death and dismemberment insurance is limited to plans which provide benefit payments in case of death or loss of limb or sight as a direct result of an accident. Labor-management agreement coverage The following tabulation shows the percent of full-tim e production and office workers employed in establishments in the Saginaw area in which a union contract or contracts covered a majority of the workers in the respective categories, November 1979: Production and related workers Sickness and accident insurance includes only those plans which provide that predetermined cash payments be made directly to employees who lose time from work because of illness or injury, e .g ., $ 50 a week for up to 26 weeks of disability. Sick leave plans are limited to formal plans4 which provide for continuing an em ployee's pay during absence from work because of illness. Data collected distinguish between (1) plans which provide full pay with no waiting period, and (2) plans which either provide partial pay or require a waiting period. Long-term disability insurance plans provide payments to totally disabled employees upon the expiration of their paid sick leave and/or sick ness and accident insurance, or after a predetermined period of disability (typically 6 months). Payments are made until the end of the disability, a maximum age, or eligibility for retirement benefits. Full or partial pay ments are almost always reduced by social security, workers' disability compensation, and private pension benefits payable to the disabled employee. Hospitalization, surgical, and medical insurance plans reported in these surveys provide full or partial payment for basic services rendered. Hospitalization insurance covers hospital room and board and may cover other hospital expenses. Surgical insurance covers surgeons' fees. Medical insurance covers doctors' fees for home, office, or hospital calls. Plans restricted to post-operative medical care or a doctor's care for minor ailments at a w orker's place of employment are not considered to be m edical insurance. M ajor m edical insurance coverage applies to services which go beyond the basic services covered under hospitalization, surgical, and medical insurance. M ajor medical insurance typically (1) requires that a "deductible" (e .g ., $ 5 0 ) be met before benefits begin, (2) has a coinsurance feature that requires the insured to pay a portion (e.g ., 20 percent) of certain expenses, and (3) has a specified dollar maximum of benefits (e .g ., $ 10, 000 a year). Dental insurance plans provide normal dental service benefits, usually for fillin gs, extractions, and X -r a y s . Plans which provide benefits only for oral surgery or repairing accident damage are not reported. Retirement pension plans provide for regular payments to the retiree for life. Included are deferred profit-sharing plans which provide the option of purchasing a lifetime annuity. All industries Manufacturing________ Nonmanufacturing____ Public u tilitie s____ 18 - 34 78 An establishment is considered to have a contract covering all production or office workers if a majority of such workers is covered by a labor-management agreement. Therefore, all other production or office workers are employed in establishments that either do not have labormanagement contracts in effect, or have contracts that apply to fewer than half of their production or office workers. Estimates are not necessarily representative of the extent to which all workers in the area may be covered by the provisions of labor-management agreements, because small estab lishments are excluded and the industrial scope of the survey is limited. Industrial composition in manufacturing Over two-thirds of the workers within the scope of the survey in the Saginaw area were employed in manufacturing firm s. The following presents the major industries as a percent of all manufacturing: Prim ary metal industries____________________________________________ Iron and steel foundries _!---------------------------------------------------------------Transportation equipment-------------------------------------------------------------------Motor vehicles and equipment____________________________________ Machinery, except ele ctrica l________________________________________ Metalworking m achinery__________________________________________ 46 46 34 34 11 5 This information is based on estimates of total employment derived from universe materials compiled before actual survey. Proportions in various industry divisions may differ from proportions based on the results of the survey as shown in appendix table 1. 4 An establishment is considered as having a formal plan if it specifies at least the minimum number of days of sick leave available to each employee. Such a plan need not be written, but informal sick leave allowances determined on an individual basis are excluded. 90 100 42 96 Office workers Appendix table 1.

Occupational Descriptions The prim ary purpose of preparing job descriptions for the Bureau's wage surveys is to a ssist its field representatives 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 a r e a to area. This permits grouping 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 sig nificantly from those in use in individual establishments or those pre pared for other purposes. In applying these job descriptions, the Bureau's field representatives are instructed to exclude working super v iso r s; apprentices; and part-tim e, temporary, and probationary workers. Handicapped workers whose earnings are reduced because of their handicap are also excluded. Learners, beginners, and trainees, unless specifically included in the job description, are excluded. Office SECRET ARY— Continued SECRETARY Assigned as a personal secretary, normally to one individual. Maintains a close and highly responsive relationship to the day-to-day activ ities of the supervisor. Works fairly independently receiving a minimum of detailed supervision and guidance. Perform s varied clerical and secretarial duties requiring a knowledge of office routine and understanding of the organization, program s, and procedures related to the work of the supervisor. Exclusions— Continued a. c. Stenographers serving as office assistants to a group of pro fessional, technical, or managerial persons; Assistant-type positions which entail more difficult or more re sponsible technical, administrative, or supervisory duties which are not typical of secretarial work, e .g ., Administrative A ssist ant, or Executive Assistant; Listed below are several occupations for which revised descriptions or titles are being introduced in this survey: Truckdriver Secretary Shipper and receiver Key entry operator (previously surveyed Computer operator as shipping and Drafter receiving clerk) Stationary engineer Guard Boiler tender The Bureau has discontinued collecting data for tabulating -machine operator, bookkeeping-machine operator, and machine biller. Workers previously classified as watchmen are now classified as guards under the revised description. 27 secretary concept b. Stenographers not fully trained in secretarial-type duties; d. Exclusions. Not all positions that are titled "se c r e ta r y " possess the above characteristics. Examples of positions which are excluded from the definition are as follow s: Positions which do not meet the "personal" described above; SECRETARY— Continued SECRETARY— Continued Exclusions— Continued Classification by Level— Continued e. f. Positions which do not fit any of the situations listed in the sections below titled ''L evel of Supervisor, " e .g ., secretary to the president of a company that em ploys, in all, over 5 ,0 0 0 persons; Trainees. Classification by Level Secretary jobs which meet the required characteristics are matched at one of five levels according to (a) the level of the secretary's supervisor within the company's organizational structure and, (b) the level of the secretary's responsibility. The tabulation following the explanations of these two factors indicates the level of the secretary for each combination of the factors. segment often involving as many as several hundred persons) of a company that employs, in a ll, over 25, 000 persons. LS—4 a. Secretary to the chairman of the board or president of a company that employs, in all, over 100 but fewer than 5, 000 persons; or b. Secretary to a corporate officer (other than the chairman of the board or president) of a company that em ploys, in all, over 5 ,000 but fewer than 2 5 ,0 0 0 persons; or c. Secretary to the head, immediately below the corporate officer level, of a major segment or subsidiary of a company that employs, in all, over 2 5 ,0 0 0 persons. Level of Secretary's Supervisor (LS) LS—1 a. Secretary to the supervisor or head of a sm all organizational unit (e .g ., fewer than about 25 or 30 persons); or b. Secretary to a nonsupervisory staff specialist, professional employee, administrative officer or assistant, skilled technician or expert. (NOTE: M a n y companies assign stenographers, rather than secretaries as described above, to this level of supervisory or nonsupervisory worker.) LS—2 a. Secretary to an executive or managerial person whose respon sibility is not equivalent to one of the specific level situations in the definition for LS—3, but whose organizational unit normally numbers at least several dozen employees and is usually divided into organizational segments which are often, in turn, further subdivided. In some companies, this level includes a wide range of organizational echelons; in others, only one or two; or b. Secretary to the head of an individual plant, factory, etc., (or other equivalent level of official) that em ploys, in all, fewer than 5 ,0 0 0 persons. LS—3 a.

The title "v ic e president," though normally indicative of this role, does not in all cases identify such positions. Vice presidents whose prim ary responsibility is to act personally on individual cases or transactions (e .g ., approve or deny individual loan or credit actions; administer individual trust accounts; di rectly supervise a clerical staff) are not considered to be "corporate o fficers" for purposes of applying the definition. Level of Secretary's Responsibility (LR) This factor evaluates the nature of the work relationship between the secretary and the supervisor, and the extent to which the secretary is expected to exercise initiative and judgment. Secretaries should be matched at LR—1 or LR—2 described below according to their level of responsibility. L R - 1.

Working from diagrams and charts which identify the nature of desired results,' major processing steps to be accomplished, and the relationships between various steps of the prob lem solving routine; plans the full range of programming actions needed to efficiently utilize the computer system in achieving desired end products. At this level, programming is difficult because computer equip ment must be organized to produce several interrelated but diverse prod ucts from numerous and diverse data elements. A wide variety and ex tensive number of internal processing actions must occur. This requires such actions as development of common operations which can be re used, establishment of linkage points between operations, adjustments to data when program requirements exceed computer storage capacity, and substantial manipulation and resequencing of data elements to form a highly integrated program. May provide functional direction to lower level programmers who are assigned to assist. Class B . Works independently or under only general direction on relatively simple program s, or on simple segments of complex program s. Programs (or segments) usually process information to produce data in two or three varied sequences or formats. Reports and listings are produced by refining, adapting, arraying, or making minor additions to or deletions from input data which are readily available. While numerous records may be processed, the data have been refined in prior actions so that the accuracy and sequencing of data can be tested by using a few routine checks. Typically, the program deals with routine recordkeeping operations. OR Works on complex programs (as described for class A) under close direction of a higher level programm er or supervisor. May assist higher level program m er by independently performing less difficult tasks assigned, and performing more difficult tasks under fairly close direction.
