T his is essen tial in order to permit the grouping of occupational wage rates representing comparable job content. B ecause of this em phasis 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 descriptions, the Bureau’s field econom ists are instructed to exclude working supervisors, apprentices, learners, beginners, trainees, handicapped workers, part-tim e, temporary, and probationary workers.

The operation usually involves a large number of carbon copies of the bill being prepared and is often done on a fanfold machine. B iller, machine (bookkeeping m achine)— U ses a bookkeeping machine (Sundstrarid, E llio tt F ish er, Remington Rand, e tc ., which may or may not have typew riter keyboard) to prepare custom ers’ bills as part of the accounts receivable operation.
