1 A person may have more than one certification or license.

2 Persons with a license may also have a certification.

NOTE: Certifications are issued by a non-governmental certification body and convey that an individual has the knowledge or skill to perform a

specific job. A license is awarded by a government agency and conveys a legal authority to work in an occupation. Updated population controls are

introduced annually with the release of January data. Effective with January 2020 data, occupations reflect the introduction of the 2018 Census

occupational classification system, derived from the 2018 Standard Occupational Classification (SOC). No historical data have been revised. Data for

2020 are not strictly comparable with earlier years.
