Occupational Descriptions
The p rim ary purpose o f preparing job descrip tion s fo r the B ureau's wage surveys is to a ss ist its fie ld staff in cla ssifyin g into appropriate
occupations w ork ers who are em ployed under a va riety of p a yro ll titles and d ifferent w ork arrangem ents fro m establishm ent to establishm ent and
from area to area. This perm its the grouping of occupational wage rates representing com parable job content. B ecause of this em phasis on
interestablishm ent and interarea com p arability of occupational content, the B ureau's job d escrip tion s m ay d iffer significantly fro m those in use in
individual establishm ents or those p rep a red fo r other p urposes. In applying these job d e scrip tio n s, the B ureau's field econ om ists are instructed
to exclude working s u p erv isors; a pprentices; le a rn e rs ; b eginn ers; tra in ees; and handicapped, p a rt-tim e , tem p orary, and probationary w ork ers.
