Included in the legislation, policy statements, and instructions is language which prohibits the use of sex-and/or age-referent language by the public employment service. As a result of these prohibitions,itisnecessary to provide the employment service and other public and private users of the Dictionary of Occupational Titles with revised job titles to replace existing Dictionaryjobtitlesnow considered to be potentially sexand/or age discriminatory. This will be accomplished by the publication of this document, in which Dictionary job titles that have sex and/or age identification are, wherever possible, revised in favor of titles that do not connote age or sex. Nearly 3,500 Dictionary of Occupational Titles, Third Edition, job titles have been revised and are listed in this publication, including approximately 2,200 base job titles, 130 defined related job titles, 1,100 undefined related job titles, 3 master definition titles, and 60 term titles. These job title revisions were developed by the staff of the North Carolina Occupational Analysis Field Center and reviewed and modified by Susan Martinez, under the supervision and direction of Arden Nelsen of the Division of Occupational Analysis of the U.S. Employment Service, Manpower Administration.

These revised titles should be used in all instances where third edition Dictionary job titles are used or cited. With the publication of this release, sex and/or age connotive language in third edition Dictionary job titles should no longer be used. All publications issued hereafter which contain third edition Dictionary job titles and codes will reflect the revised job titles listed in this publication rather than the sex and/or age linked titles they replace. This publication should be used in conjunction with Volumes I and II of the Dictionary of Occupational Titles, Third Edition, to identify revised job titles which replace Dictionary titles having sex and/or age connotations. Depending on the extent of local office needs, it may be used to make direct corrections in the Dictionary volumes, or as a ready desk reference. To facilitate easy and flexible use, five different job title data arrangements are provided: 1. An alphabeticallisting by current Dictionary of Occupational Titles, Third Edition, job titles which are affected by this revision, 2. A numerical listing by the 9-digit codes of the Dictionary job titles affected by .this listing, 3. An alphabetical listing by revised job titles, 4. An alphabeticallisting by current Dictionary of Occupational Titles, Third Edition master definitions and term titles which are affected by this listing, and 5. An alphabetical listing by revised master definition and term titles. Base, defined related, and undefined related job titles, master definitions, and term titles were revised. Alternate job titles, which number in the several thousands, and job title references within job definitions were not revised at this time, due to the prohibitive printing costs and amount of staff time that would have been required. However, alternate, job titles and title references within job definitions which require revision will be changed in the fourth edition of the Dictionary of Occupational Titles, planned for publication in 1976. Similarly, no changes to the 9cligit Dictionary codes were attempted at this time. Code revisions will also be made in the fourth edition of the Dictionary. PRINCIPAL JOB TITLE REVISIONS Generally, the primary job title revisions include the following type of changes: 1. Age identifying language: language such as "boy," "girl," "junior," or "senior" has been eliminated from Dictionary titles; e.g., BUS BOY (hotel & rest.) 311.878-010 was changed to DINING ROOM ATTENDANT (hotel & rest.) and JUNIOR EXECUTIVE (any ind.) 189.168-014 was changed to EXECUTIVE TRAINEE (any ind.) 189.168-014. vii 2. Sex stereotyped language: with certain exceptions, language such as "man," "woman," or "lady" and suffixes that denote sex, such as "-ess" have been removed from Dictionary job titles and the titles changed to neuter titles; e.g., PUBLIC RELATIONS MAN (profess. & kin.) I 165.068.018 changed to PUBLIC RELATIONS PRACTITIONER (profess. & kin.) I 165.068.018, or SHOE REPAIRMAN (per. ser.) 365.381.014 changed to SHOE REPAIRER (per. ser.) 365.381-014. Excepted titles include those: a. For which sexisa bonafide occupational requirement; e.g. the jobs of LEADING LADY (amuse. & rec.) 150.048.010, LEADING MAN (amuse. & rec.) 150.048.010, and JUVENILE (amuse. & rec.) 150.048.010, and b.
