This file contains alternate, or "lay", occupational titles for the O*NET-SOC classification system. The file was developed to improve keyword searches in several Department of Labor internet applications (i.e., Career InfoNet, O*NET OnLine, and O*NET Code Connector). The file contains occupational titles from existing occupational classification systems, as well as from other diverse sources. When a title contains acronyms, abbreviations, or jargon, the “Short Title” column contains the brief version of the full title. The “Source(s)” column contains a comma delimited list of codes which indicate the source of the title information; the codes are identified below:
01 | Associations [i.e., National Retail Federation, Environmental Career Centers (ECC), etc.] |
02 | Incumbent Data – O*NET Data Collection |
03 | Occupational Code Assignment (OCA) |
04 | SOC (i.e., SOC Index, SOC Volume 2, etc.) |
05 | State Agencies |
06 | US Bureau of Census (e.g., Census Index) |
07 | USDOL – BLS (e.g., IT to SOC) |
08 | USDOL – ETA (i.e., OPDER, OATELS, ACINET/Fu Associates, DOT, O*NET Center, etc.) |
09 | USDOL – User input, web applications (Code Connector, OnLine, and ACINET) |
10 | Employer Job Postings |
The file is displayed in four tab delimited fields with the columns named O*NET-SOC Code, Alternate Title, Short Title, and Source(s). The four fields are represented by one row. There are a total of 60,511 rows of data in this file.
