What are Occupation Codes?
• There are four main structures used to classify occupations that are referenced by the Online Wage Library. • The Occupational Employment Survey (OES) uses the Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) for the collection of wage date. OES/SOC codes are seven-digit codes in the format 99-9999. • The Online Wage Library cross-references OES/SOC codes to the O*Net™ occupational classification system. O*Net™ is a superset of the SOC with some occupations broken out into more detail and identified by a two digit decimal extension to the SOC code. For instance, the SOC occupation 11-1011: Chief Executives is subdivided by O*Net™ into the occupations 11-1011.00: Chief Executives, 11-1011.01 Government Service Executives and 11-1011.02: Private Service Executives. • O*Net™ occupational information is included in the Online Wage Library becuase it includes more detailed occupational definitions, as well as experience and training requirements.
