An adjustment could not be made for Canton, Ohio, for which the survey month was May 1962.
12 *6 If comparisons were based on average hourly earnings instead of average weekly salaries,
New York City would rank among the top five areas. Among New York City office workers, 10 per­
cent had a 40-hour workweek and 90 percent had shorter hours; schedules of less than 40 hours a week
were reported for a majority of office workers in only four other areas— Boston, Newark and Jersey City,
New Haven and Philadelphia. Wages and Related Benefits: Part I— 82 Labor Markets, 1961-62,
BLS Bulletin 1303-83, table B-3, p. 69.
13 Of the 10 areas for which publication of skilled maintenance pay indexes was not warranted,
6 were in the South, and 6 had a population of less than 250,000.
Since pay relatives for office
workers and unskilled plant workers were less than 90 in all except Spokane, Albuquerque, and Sioux
Falls, it can be assumed that the skilled maintenance workers in 7 of the 10 areas averaged less than
t&e national level.

Pay relatives based on year earlier averages are included in Wages and Related Benefits;
Metropolitan Areas, United States and Regional Summaries, 1960-61 (BLS Bulletin 1285-84, 1962).
For the great majority of the areas, pay relatives in the 2 years were identical or differed by a single
point; greater differences were generally accounted for by changes in area job averages that failed to
correspond closely to changes in nationwide (188 area) averages.

The regression of area differentials on employment concentration ratios varied considerably
among the occupational groups studied, i. e . , unit change in area differentials per unit change in
employment concentration in large plants was less for office workers and considerably less for skilled
maintenance workers than for unskilled plant workers.

1 188 Standard M etropolitan Statistical A reas in the United States, excluding Alaska and Hawaii, as established by the
Bureau of the Budget through 1959.
2 The 1957 revised edition of the Standard Industrial C lassification Manual was used in classifying establishm ents by
industry division.
3 F or definition of regions, see footnote 2, table A - l .
4 Includes all establishm ents with total em ployment at or above the minimum limitation (50 em ployees).
In 12 of the
large st a r e a s, the minim um siz e was 100 or m ore em ployees in manufacturing, public u tilities, and retail trade fir m s .
5 Totals include executive, p rofession al, and other workers excluded from the separate office and plant cate gories.
The estim ates shown in this table provide a reasonably accurate description of the size and composition of the labor force
included in the su rveys.
They are not intended, how ever, to serve as a basis of comparison with other em ployment indexes
for the area
to m easu re em ployment trends or le v e ls, since (1) planning of wage surveys requires the use of establishm ent
data compiled considerably in advance of the payroll period studied, and (2) sm a ll establishments are excluded from the scope
of the studies.
6 Excludes taxicabs, serv ic es incidental to w ater transportation, and municipally operated establishm ents.
7 E stim ate relates to real estate establishm ents only.
W orkers from the entire industry division are represented in the
se r ie s A tables, but from the real estate portion only in "a l l in du stry" estim ates in the series B tables.
8 H otels, p erson al se r v ic e s, business se r v ic e s, auto repair shops, motion pictures, nonprofit m em bership organ ization s,
and engineering and architectural se r v ic e s.

NOTE:

Because of rounding, sums of individual items may not equal totals.

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 is
essential in order to permit 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 in­
structed to exclude working supervisors, apprentices, learners, beginners, trainees, handicapped, part-time,
temporary, and probationary workers.

OFFICE
BILLER, MACHINE

BOOKKEEPING-MACHINE OPERATOR

Prepares statements, bills, and invoices on a machine other
than an ordinary or electromatic typewriter. May also keep records as
to billings or shipping charges or perform other clerical work incidental
to billing operations. For wage study purposes, billers, machine, are

Operates a bookkeeping machine (Remington Rand, Elliott
Fisher, Sundstrand, Burroughs, National Cash Register, with or without
a typewriter keyboard) to keep a record of business transactions.
C la ss A —Keeps a set of records requiring a knowledge of
and experience in basic bookkeeping principles and familiarity with
the structure of the particular accounting system used. Determines
proper records and distribution of debit and credit items to be used
in each phase of the work. May prepare consolidated reports, bal­
ance sheets, and other records by hand.

B ille r , m achine (b illin g m achine)—U s e s a special billing ma­
chine (Moon Hopkins, Elliott Fisher, Burroughs, etc., which are
combination typing and adding machines) to prepare bills and in­
voices from customers’ purchase orders, internally prepared orders,
shipping memorandums, etc. Usually involves application of prede­
termined discounts and shipping charges and entry of necessary
extensions, which may or may not be computed on the billing ma­
chine, and totals which are automatically accumulated by machine.
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, m achine (b ook k eep in g m achine)—Uses a bookkeeping
machine (Sundstrand, Elliott Fisher, Remington Rand, etc., which
may or may not have typewriter keyboard) to prepare customers’
bills as part of the accounts receivable operation. Generally in­
volves the simultaneous entry of figures on customers’ ledger rec­
ord. The machine automatically accumulates figures on a number
of vertical columns and computes and usually prints automatically
the debit or credit balances. Does not involve a knowledge of book­
keeping.
Works from uniform and standard types of sales and
credit slips.




C la ss B —Keeps a record of one or more phases or sections of
a set of records usually requiring little knowledge of basic book­
keeping. Phases or sections include accounts payable, payroll,
customers’ accounts (not including a simple type of billing described
under biller, machine), cost distribution, expense distribution, in­
ventory control, etc. May check or assist in preparation of trial
balances and prepare control sheets for the accounting department.

CLERK, ACCOUNTING
C la ss .4—Under general direction of a bookkeeper or account­

counting operations such as posting simple journal vouchers or ac­
counts payable vouchers, entering vouchers in voucher registers;
reconciling bank accounts; and posting subsidiary ledgers con­
trolled by general ledgers, or posting simple cost accounting data.
This job does not require a knowledge of accounting and book­
keeping principles but is found in offices in which the more routine
accounting work is subdivided on a functional basis among several
workers.

CLERK, FILE 23
C la ss A —In an established filing system containing a number
of varied subject matter files, classifies and indexes file material
such as correspondence, reports, technical documents, etc. May
also file this material. May keep records of various types in con­
junction with the files. May lead a small group of lower level file
clerks.
C la ss B —Sorts, codes, and files unclassified material by sim­

ple (subject matter) headings or partly classified material by finer
subheadings.

aids.
As requested locates clearly identified material in files
and forwards material. May perform related clerical tasks required
to maintain and service files.
C la s s C—Performs routine filing of material that has already
been classified or which is easily classified in a simple serial
classification system (e .g ., alphabetical, chronological, or numer­
ical).
As requested, locates readily available material in files
and forwards material; and may fill out withdrawal charge. Per­
forms simple clerical and manual tasks required to maintain and
service files.
