Is the OES classification system compatible with other occupational classification systems?
Occupational Employment Statistics uses the 2000 Standard Occupational Classification system, which was designed to be used by all Federal statistical agencies reporting occupational data. The 2000 SOC is fully compatible with the occupational classifications used by the U.S. Bureau of the Census and O*NET. A crosswalk between the SOC and the Census 2000 Occupational Classification System is available from the Census Bureau. The National Crosswalk Service Center provides crosswalks between the SOC and other systems, including O*NET, Military Occupational Classification (MOC), and the OES classification system used before 1999.
