Some division books contain payroll information for a variety of departments, others are dedicated to a particular job or department within that division.

In 1976, researcher Paul V. Black compiled computerized lists which cross-reference the payroll books according to date, occupation, and original volume number. There is also a "Detailed Payroll Analysis," which includes information about the frequency of various divisions and departments,
