Basic information

(P34)?Naming:	Standard Occupational Classification System (USA)
(P1266)?Abbreviation:	—
(P724)?Digest:	The Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) system is a US government system for classifying occupations. It is used by US federal agencies that collect occupational data and enables the comparison of occupations in different data sets. It was developed to capture all occupations in which work is performed for pay or profit and reflects the current occupational structure in the United States. The 2018 SOC includes 867 detailed occupations. An occupation is defined as a group of ‘jobs that are similar in terms of the work performed and the skills of the workers,’ so that different jobs with similar tasks and requirements are part of the same occupation. For example, a bank branch manager and a city treasurer would both belong to the occupation of finance manager in the SOC. The detailed occupations in the SOC can be categorised into 459 broad occupations, 98 minor groups and 23 major groups.
