1 Standard hours reflect the workweek for which employees receive their regular straight-tim e salaries (exclusive of pay for overtime at regular and/or premium rates), and the earnings correspond to these weekly hours.

2 The mean is computed for each job by totaling the earnings of all workers and dividing by the number of w orkers. The median designates position— half of the employees surveyed receive more than the rate shown; half receive less than the rate shown. The middle range is defined by 2 rates of pay; a fourth of the workers earn less than the lower of these rates and a fourth earn more than the higher rate.

3 Transportation, communication, and other public utilities.4 May include workers other than those presented separately.

Appendix. 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.

O F F I C E

The operation usually involves a large number of carbon copies of the bill being prepared and is often done on a fanfold machine.

Uses a bookkeeping machine (Sundstrand, Elliott Fisher, Remington Rand, e tc . , which may or may not have typewriter keyboard) to prepare customers' bills as part of the accounts receivable operation.
