Changes in the Occupational and Industry Classification Systems
Changes to the occupational and industry classification systems used in the Current Population Survey
[27 January 2005](includes crosswalk information and conversion factors)
http://www.bls.gov/cps/cpsoccind.htm
In January 2003, the Current Population Survey (CPS or "household" survey) adopted the 2002 Census occupational and industry classification systems, which are derived, respectively, from the 2000 Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) and the 2002 North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). Previously, the 1990 Census occupational and industry classifications were used; CPS statistics from 1983-2002 were coded to the 1990 classifications. For more information on the significant differences between these systems, see the February 2003 Employment and Earnings article on changes introduced to the Current Population Survey in January 2003 (<http://www.bls.gov/cps/rvcps03.pdf>PDF 133KB)
The 2002 Census Classification Systems with SOC and NAICS Crosswalks
Because the Census occupational and industry classifications are adaptations of the SOC and NAICS, occupational and industry statistics from the Current Population Survey are not strictly comparable with statistics from other sources that use the SOC and NAICS directly. The following documents provide listings of the specific or "detailed" 2002 Census occupational and industry classifications and the broad or "major" groups to which they are aggregated in many data presentations. These listings include SOC and NAICS crosswalk information; that is, they show the corresponding SOC and NAICS codes for the detailed Census occupations and industries. Data users should note that there is not always a one-to-one match between the Census classifications and the SOC and NAICS.
2002 Census Occupational Classification--list of detailed occupations with major occupational groups and crosswalk to the 2000 SOC (PDF 62KB)
2002 Census Industrial Classification--list of detailed industries with major industry groups and crosswalk to the 2002 NAICS (PDF 46KB)
