What the Principal Operator Automated Typewriter family covers
Principal Operator Automated Typewriter works as an umbrella classification: 1 different specialization share the title across 2 codes. Every title in it is a state title, so the employer is a state department, commission or authority rather than a county or municipality.
Technology classifications age badly, and New Jersey's show it. The plan still carries titles written around tape libraries, keypunch and input and output control, sitting alongside newer series for network administration, database work and software development. For an applicant that matters practically: an older title may describe duties nobody performs any more while the position itself has quietly become something else, so the specification is a weaker guide to the actual job here than it is in most families. Salaries also drift furthest from private-sector equivalents in this group, which is the reason the compendium allows advanced-step hiring for information processing titles.
