Occupational Descriptions The prim ary purpose of preparing job descriptions for the Bureau's wage surveys is to a ssist its field staff in classifying into appropriate occupations w orkers who are em ployed under a variety of payroll titles and different work arrangements from establishment to establishment and from area tc area. This perm its the grouping of occupational wage rates representing com parable job content. Because of this emphasis on interestablishm ent and interarea com parability of occupational content, the Bureau's job descriptions may differ significantly from those in use in individual establishm ents or those prepared for other purposes. In applying these job d escriptions, the Bureau's field econom ists are instructed to exclude working supervisors; apprentices; learners; beginners; trainees; and handicapped, p art-tim e, tem porary, and probationary w orkers.
