Occupation Classification

Occupational Classification Codes for Detailed Occupational Categories
(3-digit)

There are 500 categories for the employed with 1 additional category for the experienced unemployed. These categories are aggregated into 46 detailed groups and 14 major groups.

The classification is developed from the 1980 Standard Occupational Classification. ``n.e.c.'' is the abbreviation for not elsewhere classified.

These codes correspond to basic items PEIO1OCD and PEIO2OCD. In March these codes correspond to items A_OCC and OCCUP. In February these codes correspond to items PES1OCD and PES2OCD.
