How can I compare 1990 to 2000 Industry and Occupation data estimates?
To compare 1990 to 2000 Industry and Occupation estimates, we have published crosswalks that can be used in different ways. The crosswalks are included in “The Relationship Between the 1990 Census and Census 2000 Industry and Occupation Classification Systems, Technical Paper #65”. Each crosswalk is listed as a separate table in the paper. Read the paper’s text for detailed information on how to use the crosswalks. Some of the crosswalks compare the changes in the industry and occupation codes from 1990 to 2000, while others show the changes in comparable data estimates. To convert 1990 data into the 2000 categories, we offer templates in MS Excel files that allow you to create your own 1990-2000 Occupational and Industry crosswalks for sub-national areas. For more information, visit the Occupation Table Crosswalks for Comparing 1990 to 2000 Census Data and the Industry Table Crosswalks for Comparing 1990 to 2000 Census Data websites.
