Changes in Occupational Descriptions D raftsm an. The revised descriptions for draftsman (class A , B, and C; and draftsm an-tracer) replace the previous designations for drafts m an (leader, senior, and junior; and tracer) and emphasize the distinction between drafting and design skills. Therefore, if data are presented for any of these occupations, such data are not com parable to data previously published. In areas where current em ploym ent and earnings information was collected largely by m ail this year and w ill be collected by a personal visit by Bureau field economists next year, data for these occupations w ill be presented next year. Since the Bureau's last survey, occupational descriptions for draftsm an and switchboard operator were revised in order to obtain salary inform ation for more specific categories. Switchboard operator. The revised description for switchboard operator arranges these workers into two defined classes (A and B) instead of a single category, clarifying the criteria of types of calls handled and types of inform ation provided. The com bination of class A and class B data, where both are published, is com parable to the single designation, if previously published. The revised occupational descriptions are included in appendix B. 9 Appendix B. Occupational Descriptions The primary purpose of preparing job descriptions for the Bureau* s wage surveys is to assist its field staff in classifying 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. Because of this emphasis on interestablishment and interarea comparability of occupational content, the Bureau's job descriptions may differ significantly from those in use in individual establishments or those prepared for other purposes. In applying these job descriptions, the Bureau's field economists are instructed to exclude working supervisors, apprentices, learners, beginners, trainees, handicapped, part-time, temporary, and probationary workers.
