Standard Occupational Classification (SOC)
|
|
A numeric code assigned to an occupation according to a protocol agreed upon by federal agencies such as the Departments of Labor (DOL) and Commerce (DOC) and the Office of Management and the Budget (OMB). The coding system facilitates information exchanges among agencies and dissemination to anyone interested in understanding occupational employment patterns. It is a hierarchical taxonomy that allows narrowly defined occupations to be grouped together at higher levels of aggregation reflecting common functions among similar occupations.
