What is an occupation? And what is an occupation group?
Wage Indicator recognizes more than 1600 different occupations. Our classification of occupations is based on the International Standard Classification of Occupations (ISCO) provided by the International Labour Organization (ILO). Wage Indicator follows the latest classification ISCO-08 released in March 2008, amending it whenever a more detailed classification is necessary. ISCO-08 classification is a tool for organizing jobs into clearly defined set of groups according to the tasks and duties undertaken on the job. An occupation is a more narrowly defined job assigned with a 13-digit ISCO-08 code. At the top level occupations are clustered into 10 major occupation groups described by the 1-digit ISCO-08 code. For example the occupation group Professionals includes these occupations: Biotechnologist, Aircraft engineer, Translator, University professor in social sciences, etc. Each of these occupations is then broken down into more narrowly defined ones, e.g. University professor in so
