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:
ColumnTypeColumn Content
onetsoc_codeCharacter(10)O*NET-SOC Code (see Occupation Data)
task_idDecimal(8,0)Identifies each task
taskCharacter Varying(1000)Task statement associated with an occupation
task_typeCharacter Varying(12)Core or Supplemental
incumbents_respondingDecimal(4,0)Number of incumbents providing task information

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.
