Occupational Guide and Definitions for the Standard
Occupational Classification system
SECTION 1 of this Guide is a listing of all 2010 Standard
Occupational Classification (SOC) codes, titles, and definitions.
SECTION 2 of this Guide provides explanations regarding OES-published
occupations that differ from the 2010 Standard Occupational Classification
System’s “official” code, title, and/or definition (“content”), including occupational
titles marked with a single asterisk (often a residual or "All Other"
title) that have the same title as a 2010 SOC occupation but are actually a
combination of that 2010 SOC and one or more other, new 2010 SOC
classifications, all of which are a disaggregation of a single 2000 SOC
occupation.
