Census Occupational Codes
Census Occupational Codes
Here is the occ/ind information--as I mentioned, it is a bit on the ugly side:
APPENDIX B
OCCUPATIONAL 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 agggregated into 46 detailed groups and 14 major groups (see pages B-15 through B-17).
The classification is developed from the 1980 Standard Occupational Classification. "n.e.c." is the
abbreviation for not elsewhere classified.
These codes correspond to Item A-OCC located in the adults record layout. These codes are located in
positions 0163-0165 in all months except March. In March, these codes are located in positions 0106-0108.
