Structure and Description:
| Column | Type | Column Content |
|---|
| O*NET-SOC Code | Character(10) | O*NET-SOC Code (see Occupation Data) |
| Related O*NET-SOC Code | Character(10) | Related O*NET-SOC code mapping (see Occupation Data) |
| Relatedness Tier | Character Varying(50) | Categories indicating level of relatedness |
| Index | Integer(3) | Order of related code mappings based on expert review |
For each O*NET-SOC code included, 10 primary and 10 supplemental related O*NET-SOC codes are listed. The related occupations in this file are developed using an approach which includes three important contributors to occupational similarity: what people in the occupations do, what they know, and what they are called.
The “Relatedness Tier” column assigns one of three categories to each link:
- Primary-Short — Five most strongly related occupations after expert review.
- Primary-Long — 6th to 10th most strongly related occupations after expert review.
- Supplemental — 11th to 20th most strongly related occupations after expert review.
The file is displayed in four tab delimited fields with the columns named O*NET-SOC Code, Related O*NET-SOC Code, Relatedness Tier, and Index. The four fields are represented by one row. There are a total of 18,460 rows of data in this file.
