NOTE: Updated population controls are introduced annually with the release of January data. Effective with January 2011 data, occupations reflect the introduction of the 2010

Census occupational classification system into the Current Population Survey, or household survey. This classification system is derived from the 2010 Standard Occupational

Classification (SOC). No historical data have been revised. Data for 2011 are not strictly comparable with earlier years.
