Application of addends to sales and clerical occupational classification

Abstract

An addend is an integer assigned to each category of a job factor denoting a subdivision or whether or not the factor is required by a given occupation. 781 clerical and sales occupations were addend coded according to their requirements. Explanation of the procedure and a sample list of coded occupations are included. The use of addend coding is recommended as valuable in vocational counseling, placement, industrial personnel activities, and in developing "universal" job families. 17 references.
