Standard Occupational Classification Vol. 2: The Coding Index

The Standard Occupational Classification was introduced to provide one occupational classification for use by the government, both in statistics from the main data collections and to help match job seekers to vacancies. This revised text contains 25 sub-major groups, 81 minor groups, and 353 unit groups which are all incorporated into the numbering system of SOC 2000. The edition includes sections on managerial and computing and related occupations, as well as specific occupations associated with the environment and conservation.
