Occupational Earnings

Pay le v e ls for office w orkers and for w orkers in m ain te­
nance, pow erplant, custodial, and m aterial handling jobs tended to
be h igh est in the la rg er a rea s of the W est C oast and North C entral
region s. (See tab les A - 1— A - 16, in clu siv e.) A bove-average pay le v e ls
w ere a lso record ed outside these regions, reflectin g the im portance
of em ploym ent in com paratively high-w age in d u stries. Thus, in two
of the sm aller Southern a r ea s, Beaum ont—P ort Arthur, T ex. , and
C harleston, W .V a ., pay le v e ls ranked am ong the highest in nearly
a ll jobs studied. H ighest averag es for individual jobs w ere spread
am ong 13 areas— 3 located in the N ortheast, 3 in the South, 4 in
North C entral, and 3 in the W est.
Pay rates differed w idely among and w ithin geographic a rea s,
industry groups, and even w ithin individual estab lish m en ts. P art of
the spread in the ra tes paid to w orkers in the sam e job and area
was accounted for by interindustry d ifferen ces in pay. In general,
average earnings of plant and office w orkers tended to be higher in
m anufacturing than in nonm anufacturing in d u stries and each of these
groups included a wide variety of in d ustries and estab lish m en ts that
differed in lev el of rates paid. T his would a lso partially explain
in tercity wage d ifferen ces; the areas studied varied substantially in
industrial com position. M axim um wage d ifferen ces am ong the 60 areas
w ere greater for unskilled plant w orkers than for skilled m aintenance
and office w orkers.
O ffice O ccupations
S ecreta ries and general stenographers w ere num erically
am ong the m ost im portant w om en’s office jobs studied. In the 60 a rea s,
there w ere about 139,000 se c r e ta r ie s and 100,000 stenographers. In
33 of the 60 a rea s, secr eta ries had higher average w eekly sa la ries
than any of the other wom en office w orkers w hose jobs w ere studied;
their average sa la ries ranged from $ 6 7 .5 0 in Portland (M aine), to
$98 in D etroit (table A - 1). The proportion of secr e ta r ie s w ith sa la ­
rie s of $90 or m ore ranged from le s s than a tenth in G reenville and
Jackson to m ore than tw o-thirds in D etroit and Los A n geles—Long
B each. Women accounting clerk s (cla ss A) had the highest average
w eekly sa la rie s in 7 of the 60 areas; in 3 other a rea s their sa la ries
w ere high, but w ere equaled by eith er se c r e ta r ie s or order clerk s.
A verage sa la ries of wom en accounting clerk s ranged from $ 6 8 .5 0 in
Portland (Maine); C harlotte, and D es M oines, to $94 in P aterson —
Clifton—P a ssa ic and C harleston. H ighest sa la rie s for general stenog­
raphers w ere paid in Dayton, averaging $ 88 a w eek and equaling
those of secr eta ries in Dayton. In the other a rea s, the sa la rie s of
secr eta ries and general stenographers differed, the d ifferen ces ranging
from $5 in Portland (M aine), to $17.50 in York, Cincinnati, and M il­
waukee. F rom the Dayton high, stenographers' sa la rie s ranged to a
low of $ 6 0 in P rovidence and Jackson.




Among the low er paid wom en's office jobs, average sa la rie s
of office g ir ls ranged from $ 43 .50 in New O rleans to $69 in AllentownrB ethlehem —E aston. They averaged over $50 a week in 33 of the
44 a rea s in which earnings w ere shown for this occupation.
Among m en's office jobs studied, c la ss A accounting clerk s
had average sa la ries ranging from $81 in Law rence to $ 1 2 2 .5 0 in
Beaumont—P ort Arthur; in 44 areas they averaged $95 or m ore a
week. A verage w eekly sa la ries of m en payroll clerk s ranged from
$77 in York to $ 123.50 in Beaum ont—P ort Arthur; in 25 a rea s they
averaged $90 or m ore a week. T abulating-m achine operators (class A)
had the highest w eekly sa la rie s of m en office em p loyees in 24 a rea s,
including New York City and C hicago. A verage w eekly sa la rie s for
this group ranged from $87 in Jacksonville to $ 1 2 1 .5 0 in Beaum ont—
P ort Arthur. E arnings of m en tabulating-m achine operators (cla ss B)
ranged from $72 .50 in B oston to $112 in Beaum ont—P ort A rthur. In
22 other a rea s they averaged m ore than $85 a w eek.
P ro fessio n a l and T echnical Occupations
Among five p rofession al and techn ical occupations studied,
draftsm en lea d ers received highest pay, with area a verag es ranging
from $ 126 a w eek in Seattle to $ 17 0 a w eek in New York C ity. Sala­
rie s of draftsm en lea d ers exceed ed those of sen ior draftsm en by about
$26 , on the average. Senior draftsm en averaged around $ 28 m ore
than junior draftsm en (table A - l) .
W eekly pay of industrial n u rses ranged from $73 in P ro v i­
dence and G reenville to $ 1 1 1 .5 0 in Beaum ont—P ort Arthur. T heir
sa la rie s exceeded the sa la rie s of secr eta ries by am ounts ranging
from 50 cents to $ 30 in a ll a rea s except P rovid ence, York, Akron,
Rockford, and D enver.
Plant O ccupations
T ool and die m ak ers, the highest paid plagt w ork ers studied
in nearly all a rea s, had average hourly earnings ranging from $ 2 .46
in M iam i to $ 3 .4 7 in San F ran cisco—Oakland (table A -9). A reaw ide
hourly averages for tool and die m akers exceed ed $3 in 22 of 44 a rea s,

To the extent that individual pay ra tes are adjusted on the

L ate-Shift Pay P rovision s (M anufacturing)
From 63 percent (New York City) to 99 percent (Akron) of
the plant w orkers in m anufacturing industries in 54 areas w ere em ­
ployed in establishm ents that had sp ecific p rovisions for secon d -sh ift
work, either through a labor-m anagem ent agreem ent or by other
form al m eans (table B -1 0). Somewhat few er w orkers in individual
areas w ere covered by p rovision s for th ird -sh ift operations than for
the second shift.
The proportion of plant w orkers in m anufacturing industries
who w ere em ployed in establishm ents that had pay d ifferentials for
secon d -sh ift work, ranged from le ss than 3 percent (G reenville) to
m ore than 98 percen t (M uskegon—M uskegon H eights). In 29 a rea s,
m ore than 80 percent of the m anufacturing w orkers w ere in esta b lish ­
m ents that paid a shift differential for secon d -sh ift work. The m edian
percentage of area plant em ploym ent under such provisions was 83 p er­
cent for the 54 a rea s.
Pay d ifferentials for th ird -sh ift work for these w orkers cov­
ered by th ird-shift provisions w ere alm ost u n iversally sp ecified . Only
in Portland (M aine), w here half of the w orkers covered by th ird -sh ift
provision s w ere not offered shift d ifferen tials, was an appreciable de­
viation from this pattern noted.
A uniform cen ts-p er-h o u r addition to fir st-sh ift rates was
the m ost com m on form of differential in 43 areas for both secondand th ird -sh ift work. In other a rea s, including Boston, Newark and
J ersey C ity, and Philadelphia, percentage additions to the day rates
w ere the m ost com m on differential provided for second- and thirdshift em ploym ent.
Other types of pay d ifferen tia ls, such as pay at the regular
rate for m ore hours than worked, in com bination with either a cen tsor p ercen tage-type of d ifferential, covered large percen tages of w ork­
ers in sev era l areas; in F ort Worth, Los A ngeles—Long B each, and
San F ra n cisco —Oakland, such differentials w ere the m ost comm on
provision s found for th ird -sh ift work.
S everal cents and percentage denom inations w ere found in
pay differential p rovision s in m ost a rea s. A single denom ination of
either type of differential applied to a m ajority of w orkers covered
by sh ift-d ifferen tia l p rovisions in a few a rea s. As few as two or
three denom inations combined typically covered a m ajority of the
m anufacturing plant w orkers who w ere subject to shift provisions in
the rem aining a reas.

th ird -sh ift differen tials listed w ere applicable to half or m ore of all
plant w orkers studied in P ittsburgh, Beaumont—P ort A rthur, B irm ing­
ham , Akron, C harleston, Canton, and Sioux F a lls. In Savannah,
Albuquerque, and San Bernardino—R iverside—Ontario, the initial dif­
feren tial shown was applicable to half or m ore of those w orkers in
estab lish m ents with secon d- and th ird -sh ift p ro vision s. For 15 ad­
ditional a r ea s, the pair of differentials shown was applicable to half
or m ore of the plant w orkers in establishm ents that had provisions
for operating the indicated shift. It should be noted that the m ost
com m on th ird -sh ift d ifferentials do not n e c e ssa r ily relate to the sam e
plants or w orkers as those shown for the second shift.
A m ajority of the w orkers with cen ts-p er-h o u r differentials
for secon d -sh ift w ork had differentials of le s s than 11 cents an hour
in 45 a rea s. C en ts-p er-h ou r differentials for the third shift w ere
com m only 10 to 15 cents an hour.
P ercen tage d ifferentials for secon d- and th ird -sh ift work
w ere provided in m any establishm ents in m ost N ortheast and North
C entral a rea s. P ercen tage differentials of 10 percen t on the secon d or third-shifts w ere found in m any a rea s. Several areas in the North­
east had som e w orkers w ith percentage differentials of 15 percent for
th ird -sh ift work.
At the tim e of the survey, the proportion of plant w orkers
working on late shifts ranged from 5 percen t in Sioux F a lls to 40 p er­
cent in Akron and Canton (table B - ll) . M ost larger com m unities in
the N ortheast, such as B oston and New York C ity, had sm a ller p ro­
portions of w orkers on late shifts than the larger North C entral a rea s.
G enerally, there w ere from 2 to 3Va tim es as m any w orkers em ployed
on secon d -sh ift (evening) work as on th ird -sh ift (night) work, except
in the South.
Paid Holidays
In 54 areas studied in 1959—1960, paid holidays w ere provided
to virtu ally a ll office w ork ers, with the exception of a few areas in
the South; 85 percen t or m ore of the plant w orkers in each area
studied also received paid holidays (table B -12). The num ber of paid
holidays varied w idely within and am ong a rea s.
Total Holiday T im e. — To determ ine total holiday tim e for
w ork ers, data on half-d ay holidays and fu ll-d ay holidays w ere cum u­
lated. For exam ple, w orkers receivin g 7 full days and 2 half days,
6 full days and 4 half days, and other equivalent com binations w ere
considered as having received 8 days of cum ulative paid holiday tim e.
T hese w ork ers, added to those who received 8 full days but no half
days, constituted the area estim ates of w orkers receivin g a total of
8 days' paid holiday tim e.




The m ost lib eral holiday p rovision s w ere reported in the
N ortheast area w here a m ajority of the office w orkers in B oston and
New York City received 11 or m ore days, and a m ajority of the plant
w orkers in B oston, Newark and J ersey C ity, New Haven, New York
C ity, and P aterson—C liftort-P assaic received 8 or m ore days total
paid holiday tim e (table B -12a). M ore than half of the office w ork­
ers in these a r ea s----C harleston, W ashington, D. C. , Albuquerque,
and San F ran cisco—Oakland— received this equivalent of 8 or m ore
days. The equivalent of 7 or m ore days was provided in 35 other
areas for the m ajority of office w ork ers. A m ajority of the plant
w orkers in 34 areas received 7 or m ore days of cum ulative paid
holiday tim e. In B oston, Newark and J ersey C ity, New Haven, New
York City, Patersonr-C lifton—P a ssa ic , Beaumont—P ort Arthur, and
San F ran cisco—Oakland, a m ajority of the plant w orkers w ere r e c e iv ­
ing 8 or m ore days of cum ulative holiday tim e.
At lea st 6 days of cum ulative holiday tim e w ere provided the
great m ajority of the plant and office w orkers in ail of the N ortheast,
North C entral, and W estern a rea s. In the South, w orkers receivin g
paid holidays w ere generally given proportionally le s s holiday tim e,
with m ost w orkers receivin g a total of 5 days cum ulative holiday tim e.
In 11 of 17 Southern a r ea s, how ever, a substantial m ajority of office
w orkers received a total of 6 days cum ulative holiday tim e.
The great m ajority of w orkers w ere provided fu ll-d ay holidays
only (table B -12). For certain a rea s, how ever, appreciable num bers
of w orkers w ere receivin g holiday pay com binations that included half
holidays. In Portland (Oreg. ), and Dayton, about half the plant w ork­
ers studied w ere receivin g 6 full days plus 2 or m ore half days.
Sim ilar distinctive patterns of paid holiday p rovision s appeared in
other a rea s. P artial observance of local and regional holidays and
religiou s holidays accounts in som e m easu re for h alf-h olid ay p rovi­
sions in individual areas.
Within industry division s (tables B -13 to B -18 in clu sive),
plant and office w orkers in public u tilities frequently received p ro­
portionately m ore paid holiday tim e than w orkers in the sam e areas
in m anufacturing in d u stries. An extrem e observation of this d is ­
sim ila rity was found in New York City w here about half of the plant
and office em ployees in public u tilities received 11 paid h olidays. The
corresponding num ber of em ployees who received 11 paid holidays in
m anufacturing com prised only 18 p ercen t of the office, and 8 p ercen t
of the plant w orkers studied. A le s s extrem e difference betw een
holiday rem uneration in m anufacturing and public u tilities was also
noted in m any a reas. In the other industry d ivision s, with the ex ­
ception of finance, holiday pay p rovision s w ere gen erally le s s lib eral.
Holidays granted to a m ajority of office w orkers in finance in individ­
ual areas ranged from 6 in P ittsburgh to over 11 holidays in Newark
and J e rse y City, and P hiladelphia.

Vacation Pay
With the exception of plant w orkers in C harlotte, N. C. , office
and plant w orkers in the 54 areas w ere alm ost u n iversally provided
with a w eek or m ore of vacation pay after a y e a r ’s serv ic e (table B - 19).
Two weeks* vacation pay w as provided in m ost areas to alm ost as
m any w ork ers after 5 years* serv ic e. In som e Southern a rea s, how­
ev er, plant w orkers receiv ed le s s lib eral vacation pay allow ances after
all in tervals of serv ic e. P roportions of plant and office w orkers e li­
gible for 3 or m ore weeks* vacation pay after 10 years* serv ice ranged
from a tenth to a half in individual a r ea s. Among m ost areas about
th ree-fou rth s to nine-tenths of the plant and office w orkers w ere e li­
gible for 3 or m ore weeks* pay after 15 y ea rs. Four weeks* vacation
pay w as available to from a fourth to a half of office w orkers with
25 years* serv ic e in nearly tw o-thirds of the areas; sm aller propor­
tions of plant w orkers received vacation pay for 4 w eeks or m ore in
m ost com parable areas.
Three weeks* vacation pay was the m axim um provided to the
bulk of both plant and office w orkers in m ost a reas. P ro v isio n s lim it­
ing m axim um vacation pay to 2 w eeks applied to a som ew hat greater
proportion of plant w orkers than office w ork ers. G enerally, a greater
proportion of office than plant w orkers w ere provided a m axim um of
4 w eeks or m ore vacation pay.
V acation provision s with com parable serv ice w ere m ore lib ­
eral for office than plant w orkers in the great m ajority of the areas
and in individual industry d ivision s. The g rea test difference betw een
the b en efits for office and plant w orkers appeared in p rovision s for
serv ice periods up to 3 y ea rs. Much larger proportions of office
w ork ers in individual areas qualified for vacation pay after 6 months*
serv ic e. Vacation pay of 2 w eeks or m ore after a year of serv ice
w as m uch m ore w idely granted to office w ork ers. Among em ployees
cred ited with 5 years* se r v ic e , how ever, sim ilar percen tages in both
plant and office w ere covered by such p ro vision s, except in m ost
areas of the South. H ow ever, vacation pay arrangem ents after 10,
15, 20, 25, and 30 years of serv ice tended again to favor office
w ork ers in m ost a r ea s, providing higher proportions of them with
3 and 4 weeks* vacation pay.
Some m arked differen ces for both office and plant w orkers
w ere noted among the 54 areas in m axim um vacation pay offered and
in corresponding len g th -o f-serv ic e requirem ents. Not all of the areas
that offered relatively lib eral vacation p rovision s for office w orkers
had sim ilar plant vacation p ro vision s. In a few a r ea s, how ever, r e l­
atively m ore lib eral plant vacation p rovision s coverage after long
periods of serv ic e w ere observed. To som e extent, such variations
reflect the local influence of particular in d u stries. For exam ple,
in New York City, financial institutions provide em ploym ent to a high
proportion of the total office w ork ers. The o verall data for office
w ork ers in this area are significantly influenced by vacation p ra ctices
in this industry.




L en g th -o f-serv ice requirem ents corresponding to given vaca­
tion pay p rovision s w ere gen erally le s s for plant w orkers in public
u tilities than for such w ork ers in the other industry d ivision s for
which data are available (tables B -20 to B-25). Among five industry
d ivision s (excluding finance) w here com p arison s could be m ade, public
u tilities led in the proportions of plant w orkers who w ere offered a
week*s paid vacation for as little as 6 months* s e r v ic e . The prop or­
tions of plant w orkers who w ere receivin g 2 or m ore weeks* vaca­
tion pay after a year*s serv ic e w ere a lso highest in public u tilities
or w h olesale trade in m ost areas affording com parison. Vacation
pay for 2 w eeks or m ore after 2 and 3 years* serv ic e w as gen erally
provided plant w orkers to the g reatest extent in w h olesale and retail
trade. Three or m ore weeks* vacation pay after 10 years* serv ice
w as provided in som e areas to substantial proportions of plant w ork­
er s in m anufacturing. In public u tilities, the great m ajority of
plant em ployees w ere receivin g 3 or m ore weeks* vacation pay after
15 years* serv ic e.
Public u tilities led all industry d ivision s in offering 4 weeks*
vacation pay to plant w orkers with 25 and 30 years of serv ic e. Among
m ost a rea s, proportions of w ork ers covered in this industry d ivision
by such p rovision s ranged from a fourth to tw o-thirds of total public
utility em ploym ent.
Individual estab lish m en ts em ploying the great m ajority of
w orkers conventionally determ ined vacation pay from regular or a v er­
age earnings, ex p ressed in w eekly or hourly term s. The vacation
pay plans m ight yield from as little as 1 day*s pay to the vacationing
w orker after a short period of em ploym ent to as m uch as 4 weeks*
pay after long serv ic e. Some plans of this type lim ited paym ent units
earned to p ro g ressiv e w eekly in tervals; other plans provided a grad­
uated scale of days of vacation pay varying with years of serv ic e.
Another category of graduated vacation paym ent plan ex p ressed the
rate of pay as a p ercen tage, depending upon length of serv ice of the
w orkers* annual earnings. Other types of paym ents, including flatsum paym ents, w ere encountered le s s frequently. Vacation pay p ro­
v isio n s in an establishm en t featuring an incentive system of wage
paym ent frequently tended to involve som ew hat com plex com putations.
H ealth, Insurance, and P en sion P lans
Life insurance w as the m ost com m on benefit in the great m a­
jority of the 54 a rea s, for both office and plant w orkers (table B -26).
It w as provided to 80 p ercen t or m ore of the office w orkers in all
areas except Lubbock, M iam i, and Savannah, and to 80 percent or
m ore of the plant w orkers in all areas except P rovid en ce, 6 Southern,
and 4 W estern a rea s. In at le a st half of the 54 a rea s, 91 percen t
or m ore of the office w ork ers and 87 percen t or m ore of the plant
w orkers w ere covered by life insuran ce.

61
P rovision s for hospitalization insurance as w ell as su rgical
insurance applied to 75 percen t or m ore of both office and plant w ork­
er s in the great m ajority of the 54 a rea s. The proportion of w orkers
covered by either of the plans w as not le s s than 65 p ercen t of the
office w orkers in any area or of the plant w orkers except in the New
O rleans and Richm ond a rea s. C orresponding to the 91 and 87 p ercen t­
ages record ed above for life insuran ce, the m edian area-p ercen tages
of office and plant w orkers covered by hospitalization insurance or
su rgical insurance ranged betw een 83 and 85 percent.

Sick leave plans providing full pay and requiring no w aiting
period w ere offered to m uch larger proportions of dffice w orkers
than plant w orkers within the 54 a rea s. On the other hand, sick n ess
and accident insurance w as m ore com m only provided for plant w ork­
er s. L im ited -p rovision sick leave ch aracterized by a w aiting period
or partial wage paym ent, or com bining th ese featu res, had narrow er
coverage among plant and office em p loyees. Tables B -27 to B -32,

H ospitalization, su rgical, and m edical insurance plans have
been found to cover gradually in creasin g proportions of w orkers an­
nually in area s for which com parable data are available. Thus, in
the New York City area, hospitalization coverage of office w orkers
in creased from 64 to 80 p ercen t betw een 1953 and I960, with a co r­
responding in crea se in coverage from 76 to 87 percen t for plant w ork­
er s. Sim ilar in cr ea ses w ere noted in other a rea s.

R etirem ent plans w ere offered to som ew hat larger propor­
tions of office than plant w orkers in nearly a ll of the 54 areas.
P ension coverage for office w orkers ranged from 55 percen t in M iam i
to 94 percen t in W aterbury; plant w orker coverage ranged m ore w id ely,
from 28 percent in G reenville to 84 p ercen t in P ittsburgh and 8 8 p er­
cent in W aterbury.

C atastrophe (extended m edical) insurance w as available to
w id ely varying proportions of w orkers within the 54 areas. P ropor­
tions of office w ork ers covered by catastrophe insurance ranged from
11 p ercen t in Canton to 70 percen t in Beaum ont—P ort Arthur and
Albuquerque. (See table B -26. ) P roportions of plant w orkers sim ­
ilarly covered ranged from 2 percent in Canton and L aw rence—H averhill
to 54 p ercen t in San Bernardino—R iv ersid e—Ontario. Within 19 a rea s,
m ore than 25 percen t of the w orkers in both plant and office groups
w ere offered extended m ed ical coverage. It appears that catastrophe
insurance provision s w ill tend to follow the usual pattern of frin gebenefit diffusion and continue to cover in creasin g proportions of em ­
p loyees annually.

In each area, proportions of w ork ers in estab lish m en ts with
retirem en t plan coverage varied w id ely among industry d iv isio n s. In
finance, retirem en t plans had wide coverage. In m any areas r e la ­
tively few er office w ork ers in public u tilities w ere covered under
retirem ent plans than office w orkers in m anufacturing in d u stries.
H ow ever, retirem en t plans for plant w ork ers had som ew hat w ider
coverage in public u tilities than in any other industry d ivision . In
se r v ic e s and reta il trade, the sm a llest proportions of w ork ers w ere
covered by retirem en t plan p rovision s in n early a ll a rea s.

P ro v isio n s offering incom e protection to the em ployee during
illn e s s e s (through sick n ess or accident) m ay take the form of sick
leave with full or partial pay, or insurance b en efits. In the m ajority
of the 54 a r ea s, with exceptions occurring prin cipally in the South,
this protection com bined, extended to from 70 to 95 percen t of both
office and plant w ork ers. In about half the a rea s, the proportions of
plant w ork ers so protected c lo sely approxim ated the proportions who
w ere provided hospitalization.




E xperience indicates that the great m ajority of pension plans
are lik ely to be of the actuarial type, i. e. , providing sp ecific and
regular paym ents to r e tir e e s for the rem ainder of their liv e s, financed
through sp ecific em ployer contributions and/or em ployee paym ents to
an estab lish ed fund. A le s s com m on type of retirem en t plan m ay
provide for the purchase of life annuity upon retirem en t, financed
through p rofit-sh arin g. Other m ethods of providing life annuities are
som etim es em ployed by individual estab lish m en ts in underwriting r e ­
tirem ent b en efits. L um p-sum severan ce paym ents or sh ort-term
annuities, how ever, w ere not c la ssifie d as retirem en t plans for su r­
vey purposes.

Appendix B: 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 classify in g into appropriate occupations workers who are employed under a variety of payroll
title s and different work arrangem ents from establishm ent to establishm ent and from area to area. T his is
essen tial in order to perm it 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 B ureau's field econom ists are
instructed to exclude working supervisors, apprentices, learners, beginners, trainees, handicapped workers,
part-tim e, temporary, and probationary workers.
O FFIC E

BILLER, MACHINE

BOOKKEEPING-MACHINE OPERATOR

P repares statem ents, b ills, and invoices on a machine other
than an ordinary or electrom atic typew riter. May also keep records as
to billings or shipping charges or perform other clerical work incidental
to billing operations. For wage study purposes, b illers, m achine, are
classified by type of m achine, as follow s:
B i l l e r , m a c h in e ( h i l l i n g m a c h in e )— U ses a sp ecial billing ma­
chine (Moon H opkins, E llio tt F ish er, Burroughs, etc ., which are
com bination typing and adding m achines) to prepare bills and in­
voices from custom ers’ purchase orders, internally prepared orders,
shipping memorandums, etc. U sually 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 autom atically accum ulated by machine.
The operation usually involves a large number of carbon copies of
the b ill being prepared and is often done oh a fanfold machine.
B i l l e r , m a c h in e (b o o k k e e p in g m a c h in e ) — U ses a bookkeeping
machine (Sundstraiid, 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. G enerally in ­
volves the sim ultaneous entry of figures on custom ers’ ledger rec­
ord. The machine autom atically accum ulates figures on a number
of vertical columns and com putes and usually prints autom atically
the debit or credit b alances. Does not involve a knowledge of book­
keeping. Works from uniform and standard types of sales and
credit slip s.

O perates a bookkeeping machine (Remington Rand, E llio tt
F ish er, Sundstrand, Burroughs, N ational C ash R egister, with or w ithout
a typew riter keyboard) to keep a record of b u sin ess tran sactio n s.




C la s s A — K eeps a se t of records requiring a knowledge of
and experience in b asic bookkeeping principles and fam iliarity with
the structure of the particular accounting system used. D eterm ines
proper records and distribution of debit and credit item s to be used
in each phase of the work. May prepare consolidated rep o rts, balance
sh eets, and other records by hand.
C la s s B — Keeps a record of one or more phases or sectio n s of
a set of records usually requiring little knowledge of b asic book­
keeping* P h ases or sectio n s include accounts payable, payroll,
custom ers’ accounts (not including a sim ple type of billing described
