In t ro d u c t io n

This a rea is 1 of 96 in which the U.S. Department o f L a b o r 's Bureau o f Labor Statistics conducts surveys o f occupational earn ings and re la ted benefits on an areaw ide b a s is .1 In this a rea , data w e re obtained by pe rson a l v is i ts o f Bureau f ie ld econom ists to r ep r e s e n ta ­t iv e estab lishm ents within s ix broad industry d iv is ions : Manufacturing; transporta t ion , com munication, and o ther public u t i l i t ies ; wholesa le trade ; r e ta i l trade; f inance, insurance, and r ea l estate; and s e r v ic e s . M a jo r industry groups excluded f ro m these studies a re governm ent operations and the construction and ex t ra c t iv e industr ies . E s tab l ish ­m ents having f e w e r than a p re s c r ib e d number o f w o rk e rs a re om itted because o f insu ff ic ien t em p loym ent in the occupations studied. Sepa­rate tabulations a re p rov ided fo r each o f the b road industry d iv is ions which m ee t publication c r i t e r ia .

T h ese surveys a re conducted on a sam ple bas is . The sa m ­p ling p rocedu res invo lve deta i led s tra t i f ica t ion o f a ll estab lishm ents within the scope o f an individual a rea su rvey by industry and number o f em p lo yees . F ro m this s tra t i f ied un ive rse a p robab i l i ty sam ple is se lec ted , with each estab lishm ent having a p red e te rm in ed chance of s e lec t ion . To obtain optim um accu racy at m in im um cost, a g re a te r p ropor t ion o f la r g e than sm a ll es tab lishm ents is se lec ted . When data a re com bined , each estab lishm ent is we ighted accord ing to its p ro b a ­b i l i ty o f s e lec t ion , so that unbiased e s t im a tes a re generated . F o r e x ­am ple , i f one out of four estab lishm ents is se lec ted , it is g iven a weight o f four to rep resen t i t s e l f plus th ree o thers . An a lternate of the sam e o r ig in a l p robab i l i ty is chosen in the sam e in d u s try -s iz e c l a s s i f i ­cation i f data a re not ava i lab le fo r the o r ig in a l sample m em b e r . If no suitable substitute is ava i lab le , additional weight is ass igned to a sam ple m em b e r that is s im i la r to the m iss in g unit.

Occupations and Earnings

The occupations se lec ted fo r study a re com mon to a v a r ie t y o f m anufacturing and nonmanufacturing industr ies , and are o f the fo l low ing types : (1) O f f ic e c l e r i c a l ; (2) p ro fess ion a l and technica l;(3) m aintenance and powerp lant; and (4) custod ia l and m a te r ia l m o v e ­ment. Occupational c la ss i f ic a t io n is based on a un ifo rm set of job desc r ip t ion s designed to take account o f in teres tab l ishm en t var ia t ion in duties within the sam e job. The occupations se lec ted fo r study are l is ted and desc r ib ed in the appendix. Unless o th erw ise ind icated, the earn ings data fo l low ing the job t i t le s a re fo r all industr ies combined. Earn ings data fo r som e o f the occupations l is ted and desc r ib ed , or fo r som e industry d iv is ions within occupations, are not presen ted in

1 Included in the 96 areas are 10 studies conducted by the Bureau under contract. These areas are Austin, T ex .; Binghamton, N .Y . (New York portion only); Durham, N. C. ; Fort Lauderdale— Hollywood and West Palm Beach, F la .; Huntsville, A la . ; Lexington, K y .; Poughkeepsie—Kingston— Newburgh, N .Y . ; Rochester, N .Y . (o ffice occupations only); Syracuse, N .Y . ; and Utica—Rome, N.Y. In addition, the Bureau conducts more lim ited area studies in approximately 70 areas at the request o f the Employment Standards Administration of the U. S. Department of Labor.

the A - s e r i e s tab les, because e ither (1) em p loym ent in the occupation is too sm a ll to p rov ide enough data to m e r i t presenta tion , o r (2) there is p os s ib i l i t y o f d is c lo su re o f individual es tab lishm ent data. Earn ings data not shown sepa ra te ly fo r industry d iv is ions are included in all industr ies com bined data, where shown. L ik e w is e , data a re included in the o v e r a l l c la s s i f ic a t io n when a subc lass i f ica t ion o f e le c t ro n ic s techn icians, s e c r e ta r ie s , o r t ru ck d r iv e rs is not shown o r in fo rm ation to su bc lass i fy is not ava i lab le .

Occupational em p loym en t and earn ings data a re shown for fu l l - t im e w o rk e rs , i .e . , those h ired to work a regu la r w eek ly schedule. Earn ings data exclude p rem iu m pay fo r o v e r t im e and fo r work on weekends, ho lidays , and late shifts . Nonproduction bonuses a re e x ­cluded, but c o s t - o f - l i v in g a l lowances and incent ive earn ings are in ­cluded. Where w eek ly hours are reported , as fo r o f f ic e c l e r i c a l o ccu ­pations, r e fe r en c e is to the standard w orkw eek (rounded to the neares t ha lf hour) f o r which em p loyees r e c e iv e th e ir r eg u la r s t ra igh t - t im e sa la r ie s (e x c lu s iv e o f pay fo r o v e r t im e at regu la r and/or p rem ium ra tes ) . A v e r a g e w eek ly earn ings fo r these occupations are rounded to the n eares t ha lf d o l la r .

T h ese su rveys m ea su re the le v e l o f occupational earnings in an a rea at a pa r t icu la r t im e . C om parison s o f individual occupational a ve ra ges o v e r t im e m ay not r e f le c t expected wage changes.

Such shifts in em p loym ent could d e c rea s e an occupational a ve ra ge even though m os t estab lishm ents in an a rea in c rease wages during the y ea r . T ren ds in earn ings o f occupational groups, shown in table 2, a re be tte r ind ica to rs o f wage trends than individual jobs within the g ro u p s .

Occupational em p loym ent es t im a tes r ep resen t the total in all es tab lishm ents within the scope o f the study and not the number actu­a l ly surveyed . Because occupational s tructures among estab lishm ents d i f fe r , e s t im a tes o f occupational em p loym ent obtained f ro m the sample o f estab lishm ents studied s e rv e only to ind icate the r e la t iv e im p o r ­tance o f the jobs studied. These d i f fe r en ces in occupational structure do not a f fec t m a te r ia l ly the accuracy o f the earn ings data.

Establishm ent P ra c t ic e s and Supplementary Wage P ro v is io n s

In form ation is p resen ted (in the B - s e r i e s tab les ) on se lec ted estab lishm ent p rac t ices and supp lem entary wage p rov is ions fo r plant- w o rk e rs and o f f i c e w o rk e r s . Data for industry d iv is ions not presen ted sepa ra te ly a re included in the es t im a tes fo r " a l l in du s tr ie s ." A d m in ­is t r a t iv e , execu tive , and p ro fess ion a l em p lo yees , and construction w o rk e rs who are u t i l iz ed as a separa te w ork fo rc e a re excluded. "P la n tw o r k e r s " include work ing fo rem en and al l n onsuperv isory w o rk ­e rs (including leadmen and t ra in ees ) engaged in nonoffice func­tions. "O f f i c e w o r k e r s " include work ing su pe rv iso rs and nonsuper­v i s o r y w o rk e rs p e r fo rm in g c le r i c a l o r re la ted functions. C a fe te r ia w o rk e rs and routem en are excluded in manufacturing industr ies , but included in nonmanufacturing industr ies .

M in im um entrance sa la r ie s fo r women o f f i c e w o rk e r s re la te only to the estab lishm ents v is i ted . (See table B - l . ) Because of the optim um sampling techniques used and the p robab i l i ty that la rg e es tab ­l ishm ents are m o re l ik e ly than sm a ll es tab lishm ents to have fo rm a l entrance rates above the su b c le r ica l l e v e l , the table is m o r e r e p r e ­sentative o f po l ic ie s in m ed ium and la rge estab lishm ents .

Shift d i f fe ren t ia l data a re l im ited to p lan tworkers in m anu­facturing industr ies . (See table B -2 . ) Th is in fo rm ation is p resented in te rm s o f (1) estab lishm ent p o l ic y ^ for total p lan tworker e m p lo y ­ment, and (2) e f fe c t iv e p rac t ice fo r w o rk e rs actually em p loyed on the spec i f ied shift at the t im e of the survey . In estab lishm ents having v a r ied d i f fe r en t ia ls , the amount applying to a m a jo r i t y is used; i f no amount applies to a m a jo r i ty , the c la ss i f ic a t io n " o th e r " is used. In e s ­tab lishm ents having some la te -sh i f t hours paid at norm al ra tes , a d i f ­fe ren ce is r e co rd ed only i f it applies to a m a jo r i t y o f the shift hours.

The scheduled w eek ly hours and days o f a m a jo r i t y o f the f i r s t - s h i f t w o rk e rs in an estab lishm ent a re tabulated as applying to a l l o f the p lan tw orkers or o f f i c e w o r k e r s o f that es tab lishm ent. (See table B -3 . ) Scheduled w eek ly hours and days are those which a m a ­jo r i t y o f fu l l - t im e em p loyees a re expected to work , whether they are paid s t ra igh t - t im e or o v e r t im e ra tes .

2 An establishment is considered as having a policy if it met either of the following condi­tions: (1 ) Operated late shifts at the time o f the survey, or (2 ) had formal provisions covering late shifts. An establishment was considered as having formal provisions if it (1 ) had operated late shifts during the 12 months before the survey, or (2 ) had provisions in written form for operating late shifts.

Pa id holidays; paid vacations; and health, insurance, and pen­sion plans a re t rea ted s ta t is t ica l ly on the basis that these are app l i­cable to a l l p lan tw orkers or o f f i c e w o rk e r s i f a m a jo r i t y o f such w o r k ­e rs are e l ig ib le o r m ay eventually qua li fy fo r the p ra c t ice s l is ted . (See tables B -4 through B -6 . ) Sums o f individual item s in tables B-2 through B -6 m a y not equal totals because o f rounding.

Data on paid holidays a re l im ited to holidays granted annu­a lly on a fo r m a l basis; i .e . , (1) a re p rov ided fo r in wr it ten fo rm , or (2) a re estab lished by custom. (See table B -4 . ) Holidays o rd in a r i ly granted are included even though they m ay fa l l on a nonworkday and the w o rk e r is not granted another day off. The f i r s t part o f the paid ho lidays table p resen ts the number o f whole and ha lf ho lidays actually granted. The second part com bines whole and ha lf ho lidays to show total ho liday t im e . Tab le B -4a repo rts the inc idence o f the m ost com m on paid ho lidays .

The sum m ary o f vacation plans is a sta t is t ica l m easu re of vacation p rov is ion s ra ther than a m ea su re of the p roport ion o f w o rke rs actua lly r e c e iv in g spec i f ic benefits . (See table B -5 . ) P ro v is io n s apply to a l l p lan tw orkers o r o f f i c e w o rk e r s in an estab lishm ent reg a rd less o f length o f s e r v ic e . Paym ents on other than a t im e basis are con­ve r ted to a t im e period ; f o r exam ple , 2 percent o f annual earnings a re con s id e red equiva lent to 1 w eek s ' pay. Only basic plans are in ­cluded. E s t im a tes exclude vacation bonuses, vaca t ion -sav ings plans, and "ex ten ded " or "sab b a t ic a l " benefits beyond basic plans. Such p rov is ions a re typ ica l in the s tee l, aluminum, and can industr ies .

Health, insurance, and pension plans fo r which the em p loyer pays at least a part o f the cos t include those (1) underwritten by a c o m m e r c ia l insurance company o r nonprofit organ iza tion , (2) p rov ided through a union fund, o r (3) paid d i r e c t ly by the em p lo ye r out o f cu r ­rent operating funds o r f r o m a fund set aside for this purpose. (See table B -6 . ) An estab lishm ent is cons idered to have such a plan i f the m a jo r i t y o f em p loyees a re c o v e red under the plan even i f less than a m a jo r i t y e le c t to par t ic ipa te because em p loyees a re requ ired to con­tribute toward the cost o f the plan. Excluded a re le ga l ly requ ired plans, such as w o rkm en 's com pensation , soc ia l s ecu r ity , and ra i l ro ad r e t i r em en t .

S ickness and accident insurance is l im ited to that type o f in ­surance under which p red e te rm in ed cash payments a re made d ire c t ly to the insured during tem p o ra ry i l ln ess o r accident d isab i l i ty . In fo r ­m ation is p resen ted fo r all such plans to which the em p loye r con ­tr ibutes . H ow eve r , in N ew York and N ew J e rsey , which have enacted tem p o ra ry d isab i l i ty insurance laws requ ir ing em p lo ye r con tr ibu t ions ,3 plans are included only i f the e m p lo ye r (1) contributes m o re than is l e g a l ly requ ired , or (2) p rov ides the em p loyee with benefits which e x ­ceed the requ irem en ts o f the law.

1 The Cleveland Standard Metropolitan Statistical A rea, as defined by the Office of Management and Budget through November 1972, consists of Cuyahoga, Geauga, Lake, and Medina Counties.The "workers within scope of study" estimates shown in this table provide a reasonably accurate description of the size and composition of the labor force included in the survey. The estimatesare not intended, however, to serve as a basis of comparison with other employment indexes for the area to measure employment trends or levels since (1) planning of wage surveys requires theuse of establishment data compiled considerably in advance of the payroll period studied, and (2) small establishments are excluded from the scope of the survey.

2 The 1967 edition of the Standard Industrial Classification Manual was used in classifying establishments by industry division.3 Includes all establishments with total employment at or above the minimum limitation. A ll outlets (within the area) of companies in such industries as trade, finance, auto repair service,

and motion picture theaters are considered as 1 establishment.4 Includes executive, professional, and other workers excluded from the separate plant and office categories.5 Abbreviated to "public utilities" in the A - and B -series tables. Taxicabs and services incidental to water transportation were excluded. Local-transit operations and an electric utility

(supplying less than half the electricity consumed in the Cleveland area) are municipally owned and are excluded by definition from the scope of the survey. ° Abbreviated to "finance" in the A - and B -series tables.7 Estimate relates to real estate establishments only. Workers from the entire industry division are represented in the Series A tables, but from the real estate portion only in "all industry"

estimates in the Series B tables.8 Hotels and motels; laundries and other personal services; business services; automobile repair, rental, and parking; motion pictures; nonprofit membership organizations (excluding religious

and charitable organizations); and engineering and architectural services.9 This industry division is represented in estimates for "a ll industries" and "nonmanufacturing" in the Series A tables, and for "a ll industries" in the Series B tables. Separate presentation of

data for this division is not made for one or more of the following reasons: (1) Employment in the division is too small to provide enough data to merit separate study, (2) the sample was notdesigned initially to permit separate presentation, (3) response was insufficient or inadequate to permit separate presentation, and (4) there is possibility of disclosure of individual establishment data.

Industrial composition in manufacturing

Almost three-fifths of the workers within scope of the survey in the Cleveland area were employed in manufacturing firms. The following presents the major industry groups and specific industries as a percent of all manufacturing:

Industry groups Specific industriesMachinery, except electrical — 15 Motor vehicles andPrim ary metal industries_____ 15 equipment___________________ 12T ransportation equipment- 15 Blast furnace and basicElectrical equipment and steel products_______________ — 7

supplies______________________ 12 Metal stampings-------------------- — 5Fabricated metal products_____12 Metalworking machinery_ 5Chemicals and allied

products_________________________ 6Printing and publishing_________ 5

This information is based on estimates of total employment derived from universe materials compiled prior to actual survey. Proportions in various industry divisions may differ from proportions based on the results of the survey as shown in table 1 above.

Labor-management agreement coverageThe following tabulation shows the percent of plantworkers and officeworkers

employed in establishments in which a contract or contracts covered a majority of the workers in the respective categories, Cleveland, Ohio, September 1972:

Plantworkers OfficeworkersA ll industries___________ 78 13Manufacturing__________________ 87 11Public utilities__________________ 99 60Wholesale trade_________________ 86 6Retail trade_____________________ 45 9Finance__________________________

An establishment is considered to have a contract covering all plantworkers or officeworkers if a majority of such workers are covered by a labor-management agreement. Therefore, all other plantworkers or officeworkers are employed in establishments that either do not have labor-management contracts in effect, or have contracts that apply to fewer than half of their plantworkers or officeworkers. Estimates are not necessarily representative of the extent to which a ll workers in the area may be covered by the provisions of labor-management agreements, because small establishments are excluded and the industrial scope of the survey is limited.

Presented in table 2 are indexes and percents of change in average weekly salaries of office clerical workers and industrial nurses, and in average hourly earnings of selected plantworker groups. The indexes are a measure of wages at a given time, expressed as a percent of wages during the base period. Subtracting 100 from the index yields the percent change in wages from the base period to the date of the index. The percents of change or increase relate to wage changes between the indicated dates. Annual rates of increase, where shown, reflect the amount of increase for 12 months when the time period between surveys was other than 12 months. These compu­tations are based on the assumption that wages increased at a constant rate between surveys. These estimates are measures of change in averages for the area; they are not intended to measure average pay changes in the establishments in the area.

Method of Computing

The index is a measure of wages at a given time and is ex­pressed as a percent of wages in the base year. The base year is assigned the value of 100 percent. The index is computed by multi­plying the base year relative (100 percent) by the relative (the percent change plus 100 percent) for the next succeeding year and then con­tinuing to multiply (compound) each year's relative by the previous year's index.

For office clerical workers and industrial nurses, the wage trends relate to regular weekly salaries for the normal workweek, exclusive of earnings for overtime. For plantworker groups, they measure changes in average straight-time hourly earnings, excluding premium pay for overtime and for work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts. The percents are based on data for selected key occu­pations and include most of the numerically important jobs within each group.

Each of the following key occupations within an occupational group is assigned a constant weight based on its proportionate em­ployment in the occupational group:

Office clerical (men and women):

Bookke eping- machine operators, class B

Clerks, accounting, classes A and B

Clerks, file, classes A , B, and C

Clerks, order Clerks, payroll Keypunch operators, classes

A and BMessengers (office boys or

girls)

Office clerical (men and women)— Continued

SecretariesStenographers, general Stenographers, senior Switchboard operators, classes

A and BTabulating-machine operators,

class BTypists, classes A and B

Industrial nurses (men and women):

Nurses, industrial (registered)

Skilled maintenance (men): Carpenters Electricians Machinists MechanicsMechanics (automotive)PaintersPipefittersTool and die makers

Unskilled plant (men):Janitors, porters, and

cleanersLaborers, material handling

NOTE: Comptometer operators, used in the computation of previous trends, are no longersurveyed by the Bureau.

The average (mean) earnings for each occupation are multi­plied by the occupational weight, and the products for all occupations in the group are totaled. The aggregates for 2 consecutive years are related by subtracting the aggregate for the earlier year from the aggregate for the later year and dividing the remainder by the aggre­gate for the earlier year. The result times 100 shows the percent of change.

Limitations of Data

The indexes and percents of change, as measures of change in area averages, are influenced by: (1) General salary and wagechanges, (2) merit or other increases in pay received by individual workers while in the same job, and (3) changes in average wages due to changes in the labor force resulting from labor turnover, force expansions, force reductions, and changes in the proportions of work­ers employed by establishments with different pay levels. Changes in the labor force can cause increases or decreases in the occupational averages without actual wage changes. It is conceivable that even though all establishments in an area gave wage increases, average wages may have declined because lower-paying establishments entered the area or expanded their work forces. Similarly, wages may have remained relatively constant, yet averages for an area may have risen considerably because higher-paying establishments entered the area.

The use of constant employment weights eliminates the effect of changes in the proportion of workers represented in each job in­cluded in the data. The percents of change reflect only changes in average pay for straight-time hours. They are not influenced by changes in standard work schedules, as such, or by premium pay for overtime. Where necessary, data are adjusted to remove from the indexes and percents of change any significant effect caused by changes in the scope of the survey.

A p p en d ix . O c cu p a tio n a l D es crip tio n s

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; and handicapped, part-time, temporary, and probationary workers.

SECRETARY— Continued

NOTE: The term "corporate officer, " used in the level definitions following, refers to those officials who have a significant corporate-wide policymaking role with regard to major company activities. The title "vice president," though normally indicative of this role, does not in all cases identify such positions. Vice presidents whose primary responsibility is to act per­sonally on individual cases or transactions (e.g., approve or deny individual loan or credit actions; administer individual trust accounts; directly supervise a clerical staff) are not considered to be "corporate officers" for purposes of applying the following level definitions.

TABULATING-M ACHINE OPERATOR (Electric Accounting Machine Operator)— Continued

P R O F E S S IO N A L A N D T E C H N IC A L

COMPUTER OPERATOR

Monitors and operates the control console of a digital computer to process data according to operating instructions, usually prepared by a programer. Work includes most of the following: Studies instructions to determine equipment setup and operations; loads equipment with required items (tape reels, cards, etc.); switches necessary auxiliary equipment into circuit, and starts and operates computer; makes adjustments to computer to correct operating problems and meet special conditions; reviews errors made during operation and determines cause or refers problem to supervisor or programer; and maintains operating records. May test and assist in correcting program.

For wage study purposes, computer operators are classified as follows:

Class A. Operates independently, or under only general direction, a computer running programs with most of the following characteristics: New programs are frequently tested and introduced; scheduling requirements are of critical importance to minimize downtime; the programs are of complex design so that identification of error source often requires a working knowledge of the total program, and alternate programs may not be available. May give direction and guidance to lower level operators.

Class B. Operates independently, or under only general direction, a computer running programs with most of the following characteristics: Most of the programs are established production runs, typically run on a regularly recurring basis; there is little or no testing

COMPUTER OPERATOR— Continued

of new programs required; alternate programs are provided in case original program needs major change or cannot be corrected within a reasonable time. In common error situa­tions, diagnoses cause and takes corrective action. This usually involves applying previously programed corrective steps, or using standard correction techniques.

OR

Operates under direct supervision a computer running programs or segments of programs with the characteristics described for class A. May assist a higher level operator by inde­pendently performing less difficult tasks assigned, and performing difficult tasks following detailed instructions and with frequent review of operations performed.

Class C . Works on routine programs under close supervision. Is expected to develop working knowledge of the computer equipment used and ability to detect problems involved in running routine programs. Usually has received some formal training in computer operation. May assist higher level operator on complex programs.

COMPUTER PROGRAMER, BUSINESS

Converts statements of business problems, typically prepared by a systems analyst, into a sequence of detailed instructions which are required to solve the problems by automatic data processing equipment. Working from charts or diagrams, the programer develops the precise in­structions which, when entered into the computer system in coded language, cause the manipulation

Digitized for FRASER http://fraser.stlouisfed.org/ Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis

Page 44: bls_1775-15_1973.pdf

of data to achieve desired results. Work involves most of the following: Applies knowledge ofcomputer capabilities, mathematics, logic employed by computers, and particular subject matter involved to analyze charts and diagrams of the problem to be programed; develops sequence of program steps; writes detailed flow charts to show order in which data will be processed; converts these charts to coded instructions for machine to follow; tests and corrects programs; prepares instructions for operating personnel during production run; analyzes, reviews, and alters programs to increase operating efficiency or adapt to new requirements; maintains records of program development and revisions. (NOTE: Workers performing both systems analysis and pro­graming should be classified as systems analysts if this is the skill used to determine their pay.)

Does not include employees prim arily responsible for the management or supervision of other electronic data processing employees, or programers primarily concerned with scientific and/or engineering problems.

For wage study purposes, programers are classified as follows:Class A . Works independently or under only general direction on complex problems which

require competence in all phases of programing concepts and practices. Working from dia­grams and charts which identify the nature of desired results, major processing steps to be accomplished, and the relationships between various steps of the problem solving routine; plans the full range of programing actions needed to efficiently utilize the computer system in achieving desired end products.

At this level, programing is difficult because computer equipment must be organized to produce several interrelated but diverse products from numerous and diverse data elements. A wide variety and extensive number of internal processing actions must occur. This requires such actions as development of common operations which can be reused, establishment of linkage points between operations, adjustments to data when program requirements exceed computer storage capacity, and substantial manipulation and re sequencing of data elements to form a highly integrated program.

May provide functional direction to lower level programers who are assigned to assist.Class B . Works independently or under only general direction on relatively simple

programs, or on simple segments of complex programs. Programs (or segments) usually process information to produce data in two or three varied sequences or formats. Reports and listings are produced by refining, adapting, arraying, or making minor additions to or deletions from input data which are readily available. While numerous records may be processed, the data have been refined in prior actions so that the accuracy and sequencing of data can be tested by using a few routine checks. Typically, the program deals with routine record-keeping type operations.

ORWorks on complex programs (as described for class A) under close direction of a higher

level programer or supervisor. May assist higher level programer by independently per­forming less difficult tasks assigned, and performing more difficult tasks under fairly close direction.

May guide or instruct lower level programers.Class C. Makes practical applications of programing practices and concepts usually

learned in formal training courses. Assignments are designed to develop competence in the application of standard procedures to routine problems. Receives close supervision on new aspects of assignments; and work is reviewed to verify its accuracy and conformance with required procedures.

Makes recommendations, if needed, for approval of major systems installations or changes and for obtaining equipment.

May provide functional direction to lower level systems analysts who are assigned to assist.

Class B. Works independently or under only general direction on problems that are relatively uncomplicated to analyze, plan, program, and operate. Problems are of limited complexity because sources of input data are homogeneous and the output data are closely related. (For example, develops systems for maintaining depositor accounts in a bank, maintaining accounts receivable in a retail establishment, or maintaining inventory accounts in a manufacturing or wholesale establishment.) Confers with persons concerned to determine the data processing problems and advises subject-matter personnel on the implications of the data processing systems to be applied.

ORWorks on a segment of a complex data processing scheme or system, as described for

class A. Works independently on routine assignments and receives instruction and guidance on complex assignments. Work is reviewed for accuracy of judgment, compliance with instructions, and to insure proper alinement with the overall system.

Class C . Works under immediate supervision, carrying out analyses as assigned, usually of a single activity. Assignments are designed to develop and expand practical experience in the application of procedures and skills required for systems analysis work. For example, may assist a higher level systems analyst by preparing the detailed specifications required by programers from information developed by the higher level analyst.
