1 The South Bend Standard M etropolitan Statistical A rea, as defined by the Bureau of the Budget through January 1968, con sists of St. Joseph and M arshall Counties. The "w orkers within
scope of study" estim ates shown in this table provide a reasonably accurate d escrip tion of the size and com position of the labor fo rce included in the survey.
The estim ates are not intended,
however, to serve as a b asis of com parison with other employm ent indexes fo r the area to m easure em ploym ent trends or levels since (1 ) planning of wage surveys requires the use of establishment
data com piled con siderably in advance of the payroll period studied, and (2 ) sm all establishm ents are excluded from the scope of the survey.
2 The 1967 edition of the Standard Industrial C lassification Manual was used in classifying establishm ents by industry division.
3 Includes all establishm ents with total em ploym ent at or above the minimum lim itation. A ll outlets (within the area) of com panies in such industries as trade, finance, auto repair service,
and m otion picture theaters are con sidered as 1 establishm ent.
4 Includes executive, p rofessional, and other w orkers excluded from the separate plant and office categories.
5 Taxicabs and serv ices incidental to water transportation were excluded.
South Bend* s transit system is m unicipally operated and is excluded by definition from the scope of the study.
6 This industry division is represented in estim ates fo r "all in d ustries" and "nonmanufacturing" in the S eries A tables, and fo r "a ll in d ustries" in the Series B tables. Separate presentation
of data fo r this division is not made fo r one or m ore of the following reasons: ( l ) Employment in the d ivision is too sm all to provide enough data to m erit separate study, (2 ) the sample was
not designed initially to perm it separate presentation, (3 ) response was insufficient or inadequate to perm it separate presentation, and (4 ) there is possib ility of d isclosu re of individual
establishm ent data.
7 W orkers from this entire industry division are represented in estim ates fo r "all industries" and "nonm anufacturing" in the S eries A tables, but from the real estate portion only in estim ates
fo r "all industries" in the Series B tables.
Separate presentation of data fo r this division is not made fo r one or m ore of the reasons given in footnote 6 above.
8 Hotels and m otels; laundries and other personal s ervice s; business s e rv ice s ; automobile repair, rental, and parking; m otion p ictures; nonprofit m em bership organizations (excluding religious
and charitable organizations); and engineering and architectural se rv ice s.
A lm ost tw o-thirds of the workers within scope of the survey in the South Bend area
were em ployed in manufacturing firm s.
The following presents the m ajor industry groups
and specific industries as a percent of all manufacturing:

6 Includes payments other than "length of t im e ," such as percentage of annual earnings or flat-sum payments, converted to an equivalent time basis; for exam ple, a payment of 2 percent
of annual earnings was considered as 1 week's pay. Periods of se rv ice were chosen arbitrarily and do not n ecessa rily reflect the individual provisions for p rogression. F or exam ple, the
changes in proportions indicated at 10 years* s ervice include changes in provisions occurring between 5 and 10 yea rs. Estim ates are cumulative. Thus, the proportion eligible fo r 3 weeks*
pay or m ore after 10 years includes those eligible for 3 weeks* pay or m ore after few er years of serv ice .

Appendix.
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 workers who are em ployed under a variety of payroll titles and different work arrangements from establishment to establishment and
from area to 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 sup ervisors; apprentices; learners; beginners; trainees; and handicapped, p art-tim e, tem porary, and probationary w orkers.

to supervisor or p rog ra m er; and maintains operating record s. May test and a ssist in correctin g
program .
Converts statements of business p roblem s, typically prepared by a system s analyst, into
a sequence of detailed instructions which are required to solve the problem s by automatic data
p rocessin g equipment. Working from charts or diagram s, the program er develops the p recise
instructions which, when entered into the com puter system in coded language, cause the manipu
lation of data to achieve d esired results. Work involves m ost of the follow ing: Applies knowledge
of computer capabilities, m athem atics, lo gic em ployed by com puters, and particular subject matter
involved to analyze charts and diagram s of the problem to be program ed. Develops sequence
of program steps, w rites detailed flow charts to show ord er in which data will be p rocessed ;
converts these charts to coded instructions fo r machine to follow ; tests and c o r re cts p rogram s;
prepares instructions fo r operating personnel during production run; analyzes, review s, and alters
program s to increase operating e fficien cy or adapt to new requirem ents; maintains record s of
p rogram developm ent and revisions. (NOTE; W orkers perform ing both system s analysis and p r o
graming should be cla ssifie d as system s analysts if this is the skill used to determ ine their pay.)
F or wage study purposes, com puter operators are cla ssifie d as follow s:
C lass A . Operates independently, or under only general direction, a com puter running
program s with m ost of the following ch a ra cteristics: New program s are frequently tested and
introduced; scheduling requirem ents are of critica l im portance to m inim ize downtime; the
program s are of com plex design so that identification of e r r o r source often requires a working
knowledge of the total program , and alternate program s may not be available. May give
direction and guidance to low er level op erators.
Class B. Operates independently, or under only general d irection, a com puter running
program s with m ost of the following ch a ra cteristics: Most of the program s are established
production runs, typically run on a regularly recurring b a sis; there is little or no testing
of new program s required; alternate program s are provided in case original p rogram needs
m ajor change or cannot be corrected within a reasonable tim e. In com m on e rr o r situations,
diagnoses cause and takes co r re ctiv e action. This usually involves applying p reviou sly p r o
gram ed correctiv e steps, or using standard correction techniques.
