OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET
Standard Occupational Classification (SOC)--Policy Committee's
Recommendations for the 2010 SOC
AGENCY: Executive Office of the President, Office of Management and
Budget.
ACTION: Notice of Standard Occupational Classification Policy
Committee; Recommendations to OMB and Solicitation of Comments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Under the authority of the Budget and Accounting Procedures
Act of 1950 (31 U.S.C. 1104(d)) and the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(44 U.S.C. 3504(e)), the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is
seeking public comment on the Standard Occupational Classification
Policy Committee's (SOCPC) recommendations presented in this notice for
revising the 2000 Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) for 2010.
The SOC is designed to reflect the current occupational structure
of the United States; it classifies all occupations in which work is
performed for pay or profit. The SOC covers all jobs in the national
economy, including occupations in the public, private, and military
sectors. All Federal agencies that publish occupational data are
required to use the SOC; State and local government agencies are
strongly encouraged to use this national system to promote a common
language for categorizing and analyzing occupations.
In a prior Federal Register notice (71 FR 28536, May 16, 2006), OMB
and the SOCPC requested comments on: (1) The Standard Occupational
Classification principles, (2) corrections to the 2000 SOC Manual, (3)
the intention to retain the current SOC Major Group structure, (4)
changes to the existing detailed occupations, and (5) new detailed
occupations to be added to the revised 2010 SOC.
The classification principles, coding guidelines, and occupations
recommended in this notice reflect the comments received in response to
the May 16, 2006, notice and represent the SOCPC's final
recommendations to OMB. OMB, in consultation with the SOCPC, will
consider comments in response to this notice in making its final
decisions for the 2010 SOC revision and will publish its decisions in
the Federal Register. The SOCPC will then finish preparing the 2010
Standard Occupational Classification Manual for publication, including
finalizing occupational definitions, assigning associated job titles,
and developing a crosswalk to the 2000 SOC.
Appendices: This notice includes three appendices in the
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section below. Appendix A presents the
SOCPC's recommended SOC Classification Principles and SOC Coding
Guidelines. Appendix B provides a crosswalk between the occupation
codes in the 2000 SOC and the recommended revised codes for the 2010
SOC. Appendix C provides a crosswalk between the recommended revised
codes for the 2010 SOC and the 2000 SOC.
Request for Comments: In addition to general comments on the
SOCPC's recommendations, OMB welcomes comments specifically addressing:
(1) The SOC Classification Principles and SOC Coding Guidelines
recommended by the SOCPC (Appendix A); (2) their recommended changes to
titles and codes of occupations from the 2000 SOC (Appendix B); (3) the
SOCPC's recommended changes to the hierarchical structure of the SOC,
including changes to major, minor, broad, and detailed occupation
groups (Appendix C); and (4) the titles, placement, and codes of new
occupations that the SOCPC is recommending be added in the revised 2010
SOC (Appendix C). All comments submitted in response to this notice may
be made available to the public, including by posting them on OMB's Web
site. For this reason, please do not include in your comments
information of a confidential nature, such as sensitive personal
information or proprietary information.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History of the 2000 SOC Revision
The 2000 Standard Occupational Classification (SOC), which replaced
the 1980 SOC, was developed in response to a growing need for a
universal occupational classification system. Such a classification
system allows government agencies and private industry to produce
comparable data. Users of occupational data include government program
managers, industrial and labor relations practitioners, job seekers,
employers wishing to set salary scales or locate an establishment,
academic and business researchers, and educational institutions--
including teachers, guidance counselors, and students exploring careers
and identifying career education and training alternatives.
In 1994, the Office of Management and Budget formed the SOC
Revision Policy Committee (SOCRPC) with members from the Department of
Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics and Employment and Training
Administration, the Department of Commerce's Census Bureau, the
Department of Defense's Defense Manpower Data Center, the National
Science Foundation, the National Occupational Information Coordinating
Committee, the Office of Personnel Management, and the Office of
Management and Budget , as well as participants from the Departments of
Agriculture, Health and Human Services, and Transportation, and the
Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. The 2000 SOC is the result of
a cooperative effort by the major Federal agencies that use
occupational classification systems to maximize the
[[Page 29931]]
usefulness of occupational information collected by the Federal
Government and is the result of four years of research by the SOCRPC
and work groups composed of members from more than fifteen government
agencies.
The SOCRPC was charged with identifying the major statistical uses
of occupational classifications and creating a classification system
that reflected the current occupational structure in the United States.
The SOCRPC used the Bureau of Labor Statistics' Occupational Employment
Statistics (OES) classification system as the starting point for the
new SOC framework.
In carrying out this charge, OMB and the committee issued several
Federal Register notices. Based on comments in response to these
notices, the SOCRPC and OMB developed and published the 2000 Standard
Occupational Classification Manual and established the Standard
Occupational Classification Policy Committee (SOCPC) to monitor the
implementation of the new SOC and carry out periodic revisions.
The 2010 SOC Revision
In 2005, the Office of Management and Budget met with the Standard
Occupational Classification Policy Committee (SOCPC) to plan for the
2010 SOC revision. The SOCPC includes representatives from the
Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics and Employment and
Training Administration, the Department of Commerce's Census Bureau,
the Department of Defense's Defense Manpower Data Center, the
Department of Education, the Department of Health and Human Services,
the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the National Science
Foundation, the Office of Personnel Management, and, ex officio, the
Office of Management and Budget.
To initiate the formal 2010 SOC revision process, OMB and the SOCPC
requested public comment in a May 16, 2006, Federal Register notice (71
FR 28536) on: (1) The Standard Occupational Classification principles,
(2) corrections to the 2000 SOC Manual, (3) the intention to retain the
current SOC Major Group structure, (4) changes to the existing detailed
occupations, and (5) new detailed occupations to be added to the
revised 2010 SOC.
To carry out the bulk of the revision effort, the committee created
six work groups to examine occupations in the following major groups:
Management, Professional, and Related Occupations (codes 11-29-0000);
Service Occupations (codes 31-39-0000); Sales and Office Occupations
(codes 41-43-0000); Natural Resources, Construction, and Maintenance
Occupations (codes 45-49-0000); Production, Transportation, and
Material Moving Occupations (codes 51-53-0000) and Military Specific
Occupations (code 55-0000).
The work groups were charged with reviewing comments received in
response to the May 16, 2006, Federal Register notice and providing
recommendations to the SOCPC. Guided by the classification principles,
the SOCPC reviewed the recommendations from the workgroups and reached
decisions by consensus. This Federal Register notice presents the final
recommendations of the SOCPC to OMB for the 2010 SOC revision and
requests public comment on those recommendations.
SOCPC Recommended Changes
The SOCPC received and reviewed hundreds of comments in response to
the May 16, 2006, Federal Register notice. The SOCPC has restructured
the SOC Classification Principles by revising them and adding a new
section on SOC Coding Guidelines in response to some of these comments;
please see Appendix A for the results of these recommended changes
together with an outline of their motivation. In response to other
comments, the SOCPC created new occupations, revised occupational
titles, and made changes to the structure and placement of individual
occupations. Appendices B and C show these recommended revisions.
In addition to general comments on the SOCPC's recommendations, OMB
welcomes comments specifically addressing: (1) The SOC Classification
Principles and SOC Coding Guidelines recommended by the SOCPC (Appendix
A); (2) their recommended changes to titles and codes of occupations
from the 2000 SOC (Appendix B); (3) the SOCPC's recommended changes to
the hierarchical structure of the SOC, including changes to major,
minor, broad, and detailed occupation groups (Appendix C); and (4) the
titles, placement, and codes of new occupations that the SOCPC is
recommending be added in the revised 2010 SOC (Appendix C).
OMB, in consultation with the SOCPC, will consider comments in
response to this notice in making its final decisions for the 2010 SOC
revision and will publish its decisions in the Federal Register. The
SOCPC will then finish preparing the 2010 Standard Occupational
Classification Manual for publication, including finalizing
occupational definitions, assigning associated job titles, and
developing a crosswalk to the 2000 SOC.

Administrator, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs.
Appendix A: Classification Principles and Coding Guidelines
In reviewing comments on the 2000 SOC Classification Principles,
members of the SOCPC noted that some of the principles were actually
guidelines intended to assist data coders and users in consistently
assigning SOC codes and titles to survey responses and in other
coding activities. Consequently, the SOCPC recommends restructuring
the SOC Classification Principles by revising them and extracting
the guideline elements to form a new set of SOC Coding Guidelines.
Aside from this restructuring, the substantive changes recommended
by the SOCPC include the removal of credentials from the list of
criteria in Principle 2 and the development of a new principle on
collectability presented as Principle 8.
The removal of credentials as a basis of classification was
motivated by the instability in classification resulting from the
difficulty of obtaining accurate, recent information on current
credential requirements and certification status of incumbents as
well as the lack of uniformity across the various State and local
jurisdictions on the credentials they require. This variation in
requirements and credential information prevents consistent
occupational classification across data related to various
jurisdictions, establishments, and occupations.
The recommendation to include a collectability principle was
motivated by the agencies' experience with the 2000 SOC in which
they found that some of the 2000 SOC occupations either could not be
collected consistently or, once collected, could not be reported
because of potential disclosure of confidential statistical
information. This inability to collect consistently or to publish
certain occupations needlessly imposed collection burden on
respondents, used Federal data collection resources inefficiently,
and undermined the consistency and accuracy of occupational data.
The SOCPC's recommended SOC Classification Principles and SOC
Coding Guidelines are shown below.
SOC Classification Principles
The SOC Classification Principles form the basis on which the
SOC system is structured.
1. The SOC Classification covers all occupations in which work
is performed for pay or profit, including work performed in family-
operated enterprises by family members who are not directly
compensated. It excludes occupations unique to volunteers. Each
occupation is assigned to only one occupational category at the
lowest level of the classification.
2. Occupations are classified based on work performed and, in
some cases, on the skills, education, and/or training needed to
perform the work at a competent level.
[[Page 29932]]
3. Workers primarily engaged in planning and directing are
classified in management occupations in Major Group 11-0000.
4. Supervisors of workers in Major Groups 13-0000 through 29-
0000 usually have work experience and perform activities similar to
those of the workers they supervise, and therefore are classified
with the workers they supervise.
5. Workers in Major Groups 33-0000 through 53-0000 whose primary
duty is supervising are classified in the appropriate first-line
supervisor/manager category because their work activities are
distinct from those of the workers they supervise.
6. Apprentices and trainees are classified with the occupations
for which they are being trained, while helpers and aides are
classified separately because they are not in training for the
occupation they are helping.
7. If an occupation is not included as a distinct detailed
occupation in the structure, it is classified in an appropriate
``All Other,'' or residual, occupation. ``All Other'' occupations
are placed in the structure when it is determined that the detailed
occupations comprising a broad occupation group do not account for
all of the workers in the group. These occupations appear as the
last occupation in the group with a code ending in ``9'' and are
identified in their title by having ``All Other'' appear at the end.
8. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and the U.S. Census
Bureau are charged with collecting and reporting data on total U.S.
employment across the full spectrum of SOC major groups. Thus, for a
detailed occupation to be included in the SOC, either the Bureau of
Labor Statistics or the Census Bureau must be able to collect and
report data on that occupation.
SOC Coding Guidelines
The SOC Coding Guidelines are intended to assist users in
consistently assigning SOC codes and titles to survey responses and
in other coding activities.
1. A worker should be assigned to an SOC occupation code based
on work performed.
2. When workers in a single job could be coded in more than one
occupation, they should be coded in the occupation that requires the
highest level of skill. If there is no measurable difference in
skill requirements, workers should be coded in the occupation in
which they spend the most time. Workers whose job is to teach at
different levels (e.g., elementary, middle, or secondary) should be
coded in the occupation corresponding to the highest educational
level they teach.
3. Data collection and reporting agencies should assign workers
to the most detailed occupation possible. Different agencies may use
different levels of aggregation, depending on their ability to
collect data. For more information on data produced using the SOC,
see the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) section. [Please note:
FAQs will be included in the published manual but are not included
in this notice.]
4. Workers who perform activities not described in any distinct
detailed occupation in the SOC structure should be coded in an
appropriate ``All Other'' or residual occupation. These residual
occupational categories appear as the last occupation in a group
with a code ending in ``9'' and are identified by having the words
``All Other'' appear at the end of the title.
5. Workers in Major Groups 33-0000 through 53-0000 who spend 80
percent or more of their time performing supervisory activities are
coded in the appropriate first-line supervisor/manager category in
the SOC. In these same Major Groups (33-0000 through 53-0000),
persons with supervisory duties who spend less than 80 percent of
their time supervising are coded with the workers they supervise.
6. Licensed and non-licensed workers performing the same work
should be coded together in the same detailed occupation, except
where specified otherwise in the SOC definition.
How to Read Appendix B and Appendix C
Appendix B is a table listing in the first column every detailed
occupation from the 2000 SOC that has been revised (including
changes to only the code or title) or replaced, with the
corresponding recommended 2010 code(s) and title(s) appearing in the
second column. An asterisk (*) after the occupation code and title
in the second column means that the occupation in the first column
only makes up part of the occupation in the second column; that is,
the starred 2010 SOC occupation has been created from multiple 2000
SOC codes. Each occupation with the (*) notation appears multiple
times in the table.
A new occupation may have been created by breaking out a group
of workers previously classified in a 2000 SOC occupation, but the
new occupation does not replace the 2000 SOC occupation. In this
case, the 2000 occupation will indicate in italics which group or
groups have been removed to create a new occupation.
Appendix C is a table listing in the first column every new or
revised (including changes to only the code or title) detailed
occupation that the SOCPC is recommending for the 2010 SOC. The
corresponding 2000 SOC code(s) and title(s) appear in the second
column. An asterisk (*) after the occupation code and title in the
second column means that the occupation in the first column makes up
only part of the occupation in the second column; that is, the
starred 2000 SOC occupation has been divided into multiple new
occupations. Each occupation with the (*) notation appears multiple
times in the table.
Where a detailed occupation has been added or removed, the major
group, minor group, and broad occupation codes for that occupation
are also listed.
