1 The Milwaukee Standard Metropolitan S ta tistical A rea, a s defined by the Office of Management and Budget through November 197 1, con sists of Milwaukee, Ozaukee, Washington, and Waukesha Counties. The "w orkers within scope of study" e stim ates shown in th is table provide a reasonably accurate description of the size and composition of the labor force included in the survey. The e stim ates are not intended, however, to serve as a b a sis of com parison with other employment indexes for the a re a to m easu re employment trends or levels since (1) planning of wage surveys requ ires the use of establishm ent data compiled considerably in advance of the payroll period studied, and (2) sm all establishm ents a re excluded from the scope of the survey.

2 The 1967 edition of the Standard Industrial C lassification Manual w as used in classify in g establishm ents by industry division.3 Includes a ll establishm ents with total employment at or above the minimum lim itation. All outlets (within the area) of com panies in such

in dustries a s trade, finance, auto repair serv ice , and motion picture th eaters are considered as 1 establishm ent.4 Includes all w orkers in a ll establishm ents with total employment (within the area) at or above the minimum lim itation.5 Abbreviated to "public u tilitie s" in the A - se r ie s tab le s. T axicabs and serv ice s incidental to water transportation were excluded.6 This industry division is represented in e stim ates for "a ll in d u str ie s" and "nonmanufacturing" in the S er ie s A tab le s. Separate presentation

of data for this division is not made for one or m ore of the following rea so n s: (1) Employment in the division i s too sm all to provide enough data to m erit separate study, (2) the sam ple was not designed in itially to perm it separate presentation, (3) response was insufficient or inadequate to perm it separate presentation, and (4) there i s po ssib ility of d isc lo su re of individual establishm ent data.

7 Hotels and m otels; laundries and other personal se rv ice s; bu sin ess se rv ice s; automobile rep a ir , rental, and parking; motion p ictures; nonprofit m em bership organizations (excluding religious and charitable organ izations); and engineering and arch itectural se rv ice s.

Industrial com position in manufacturing

Over three-fifths of the w orkers within scope of the survey in the Milwaukee area were employed in m anufacturing firm s. The following presen ts the m ajor industry groups and specific industries as a percent of a ll manufacturing:

A p p e n d i x . O c c u p a t i o n a l D e s c r i p t i o n s

The* primary purpose of preparing job descriptions for the Bureau's wage surveys is to a s s is t its field staff in classifying into aopropriate occupations workers who are employed under a variety of payroll titles and different work arrangem ents from establishment to establishment and from area to area . This perm its the grouping of occupational wage rates representing comparable job content. Because of this emnhasis on interestablishment and in terarea com parability of occupational content, the Bureau's job descriptions may differ significantly from thost n use in individual establishm ents or those prepared for other purposes. In applying these job descriptions, the Bureau's field econom ists are istructed to exc lude working superv isors; apprentices; learn ers; beginners; train ees; and handicapped, part-tim e, temporary, and probationar • workers.

O F F IC E

BILLER, 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, machine (bookkeeping machine). U ses a bookkeeping machine (with or without a typewriter keyboard) to prepare custom ers' bills as part of the accounts receivable operation. Generally involves the simultaneous entry of figures on custom ers' ledger record. 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 bookkeeping. Works from uniform and standard types of sa le s and credit s lip s.

With experience, the worker typically becomes fam iliar with the bookkeeping and accounting term s and procedures used in the assigned work, but is not required to have a knowledge of the formal principles of bookkeeping and accounting.

At this level, program ing is difficult because computer equipment m ust be organized to produce several in terrelated but diverse products from numerous and diverse data elements. A wide variety and extensive number of internal processing actions m ust occur. This requires such actions as development of common operations which can be reused, establishm ent of linkage points between operations, adjustments to data when program requirem ents exceed computer storage capacity, and substantial manipulation and resequencing of data elements to form a highly integrated program .

May provide functional direction to lower level program ers who are assigned to a ss is t .C lass B .~ Works independently or under only general direction on relatively simple

program s, or on sim ple segm ents of complex program s. Program s (or segments) usually process information to produce data in two or three varied sequences or form ats.
