18-502: Users of occupational data include human resources professionals, government program managers, industrial and labor relations practitioners, students considering career training, job seekers, vocational training schools, and employers wishing to set salary scales or locate a new plant. An occupation is defined as a group of "jobs that are similar with respect to the work performed and the skills possessed by workers." Therefore, different jobs with similar duties and job requirements would be in

36-738: A job title does not match one-for-one with an occupation. For example, the job title "painter" is not in the DMTF because it could be associated with a fine arts occupation or a maintenance occupation. In these and other cases, persons wishing to match a job with an occupation can examine the definitions of the detailed occupations. For example, the definition of the occupation of Painters, Construction and Maintenance (SOC code of 47-2141) is: "Paint walls, equipment, buildings, bridges, and other structural surfaces, using brushes, rollers, and spray guns. May remove old paint to prepare surface prior to painting. May mix colors or oils to obtain desired color or consistency." On

54-422: A pace that varies, and 8.2 percent at a consistent and generally slow pace. About 56.2 percent of workers have the ability to “pause work and take short, unscheduled breaks throughout the workday.” Pace of work and the ability to pause work for each major group are in the following table. The SOC was established in 1977, and revised by a committee representing specialists from across U.S. government agencies in

72-1114: A variety of ways. At the top level, they are often classified according to the three-sector theory into sectors : primary (extraction and agriculture), secondary (manufacturing), and tertiary (services). Some authors add quaternary (knowledge) or even quinary (culture and research) sectors. Over time, the fraction of a society's activities within each sector changes. Below the economic sectors are more detailed classifications. They commonly divide economic activities into industries according to similar functions and markets and identify businesses producing related products. Industries can also be identified by product, such as: construction industry , chemical industry , petroleum industry , automotive industry , electronic industry , power engineering and power manufacturing (such as gas or wind turbines), meatpacking industry , hospitality industry , food industry , fish industry , software industry , paper industry , entertainment industry , semiconductor industry , cultural industry , and poverty industry . Market -based classification systems such as

90-689: Is a subset for the "Software Developers" detailed occupation. The SOC does not categorize industries or employers. There are parallel category systems for industries used with SOC data, most commonly NAICS . Other countries have national occupational classification systems and the International Labour Organization, an agency of the United Nations, has developed the International Standard Classification of Occupations. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) maintains

108-427: Is classified as an industry according to the primary business activity taking place there. NAICS does not offer guidance on organizing enterprises (companies) composed of multiple establishments. The NAICS numbering system employs a five or six-digit code at the most detailed industry level. The first five digits are generally (although not always strictly) the same in all three countries. The first two digits designate

126-568: Is used by governments and business in Canada , Mexico , and the United States of America . It has largely replaced the older Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) system, except in some government agencies, such as the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). An establishment is typically a single physical location, though administratively distinct operations at a single location may be treated as separate establishments. Each establishment

144-594: The Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), and the Census Bureau . The system is designed to be largely compatible with the United Nations Statistical Office's International Standard Industrial Classification system (ISIC). NAICS versions are released every five years. With the first version, released in 1997, NAICS offered enhanced service sector coverage relative to

162-465: The 1990s. SOC codes were updated again in 2010, and on November 28, 2017, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) published a Federal Register notice detailing the final decisions for the 2018 SOC. NAICS The North American Industry Classification System or NAICS ( / n eɪ k s / ) is a classification of business establishments by type of economic activity (the process of production). It

180-548: The Direct Match Title File (DMTF) that contains job titles that match detailed occupations in the SOC. For example, the following job titles all match to the occupation Bill and Account Collectors (SOC code of 43-3011): Collection Agent, Collections Clerk, Collections Representative, Debt Collector, Installment Agent, Installment Loan Collector, Insurance Collector, Payment Collector, Repossessor, and Billing Clerk. In some cases

198-1058: The SIC. The 2002 revision accommodated significant changes in the Information Sector. The 2012 revision slightly reduced the number of industries and modified six sectors. NAICS changes are done at intervals of five years; the latest NAICS updated in 2022. Industry classification Industry classification or industry taxonomy is a type of economic taxonomy that classifies companies, organizations and traders into industrial groupings based on similar production processes, similar products, or similar behavior in financial markets. National and international statistical agencies use various industry-classification schemes to summarize economic conditions. Securities analysts use such groupings to track common forces acting on groups of companies, to compare companies' performance to that of their peers, and to construct either specialized or diversified portfolios. Economic activities can be classified in

216-459: The SOC are shown in the following table. The maximum weight lifted or carried averaged 25.58 pounds for all workers. For all workers, the percentage of the workday a person is required to stand averaged 56.3 percent of the workday. The figures for each major group in the SOC are in the following table. Across all occupations, 38.9 percent of all workers are required to work at a consistent and generally fast pace, 52.9 percent are required to work at

234-423: The annual mean wage to be $ 65,470. Total employment and annual mean wage for each major group is in the following table. Across all occupations, 6.9 percent of all workers are exposed to hazardous contaminants. Across all occupations, about 67 percent of all workers are not exposed to the outdoors. However, among all workers, 4.1 percent are constantly exposed to the outdoors, 3.7 percent are frequently exposed to

252-601: The largest business sector; the third digit represents the subsector; the fourth digit represents the industry group; the fifth digit designates the NAICS industries , and the sixth digit represents the national industries . NAICS is a collaborative effort by Mexico's Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Geografía (INEGI), Statistics Canada , and the United States Office of Management and Budget (OMB), through its Economic Classification Policy Committee (ECPC), staffed by

270-461: The minimum required by a job. Among all workers, 30.0 percent are in jobs with no minimum education requirement, 40.1 percent are in jobs where a high school degree is the minimum requirement, 19.3 percent are in jobs where a bachelor's degree is the minimum requirement, and 10.6 percent are in jobs with some other minimum requirement (for example, a graduate degree). The percentages in the various minimum requirement categories for each major group in

288-463: The other hand, the definition of the occupation of Fine Artists, Including Painters, Sculptors, and Illustrators (SOC code of 27-1013) is: "Create original artwork using any of a wide variety of media and techniques." Interested parties can submit suggested additions to the job titles included in the DMTF. The detailed occupations in the SOC can be combined into 23 major groups. Across all occupations, BLS reports total employment to be 151,853,870 and

306-437: The outdoors, 15.1 percent are occasionally exposed to the outdoors, and 10.2 percent are seldomly exposed to the outdoors. Exposure to hazardous contaminants and exposure to the outdoors (seldom, occasional, frequent, or constant) for each major group are in the following table. Minimum education is the minimum education required by a job, not the educational attainment of the worker. A worker may have attained more education than

324-495: The same occupation. For example, a bank branch manager and a city treasurer would both be part of the Financial Manager occupation in the SOC. The detailed occupations in the SOC can be combined into 459 broad occupations, 98 minor groups, and 23 major groups. The SOC codes have a hierarchical format, so for example the code "15-0000" refers to occupations in the "Computer and Mathematical Occupations" major group, and "15-1252"
