Task Statements
| Purpose: | Provide a mapping of O*NET-SOC codes (occupations) to tasks associated with the occupation. |
| Table Name: | task_statements |
Structure and Description:
| Column | Type | Column Content |
|---|
| onetsoc_code | Character(10) | O*NET-SOC Code (see Occupation Data) |
| task_id | Decimal(8,0) | Identifies each task |
| task | Character Varying(1000) | Task statement associated with an occupation |
| task_type | Character Varying(12) | “Core” or “Supplemental” |
| incumbents_responding | Decimal(4,0) | Number of incumbents providing task information |
| date_updated | Date | Date when data was updated |
| domain_source | Character Varying(30) | Source of the data |
This file contains the tasks associated with each O*NET-SOC occupation.
The “Task Type” column identifies two categories of tasks:
- Core — tasks that are critical to the occupation. The criteria for these tasks are (a) relevance ≥ 67% and (b) a mean importance rating of ≥ 3.0.
- Supplemental — tasks that are less relevant and/or important to the occupation. Two sets of tasks are included in this category: (a) tasks rated ≥ 67% on relevance but < 3.0 on importance, and (b) tasks rated < 67% on relevance, regardless of mean importance.
The file is displayed in seven tab delimited fields with the columns named O*NET-SOC Code, Task ID, Task, Task Type, Incumbents Responding, Date, and Domain Source. The seven fields are represented by one row. There are a total of 19,281 rows of data in this file.
