Appendix: Occupational Descriptions
The primary purpose of preparing job descriptions for the Bureau’ s wage surveys is to a s s is t its
field staff in classifyin g into appropriate occupations workers who are employed under a variety of payroll
titles

and different work

arrangements

from establishment

to establishment and from area to area.

This permits the grouping of occupational wage rates representing comparable job content.
of this

emphasis on interestablishment and interarea

Because

comparability of occupational content, the Bu­

reau’ 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 economists are in­
structed to exclude working supervisors, apprentices, learners, beginners, trainees, handicapped, part-time,
temporary, and probationary workers.
