Drill Down Occupations are classified in numerous different ways. The DOT codes are over 50 years old, and there are over 12,700 of them. Therefore we use a higher level of the OES codes that groups the DOT codes together. There are 41 occupational groups in the OES level we use. Job Seekers code their registration by selecting an occupational group and then a specific job title.
Employers do the same for their job openings.
These codes are how we provide the records to our guests who are searching for either a job or for a potential candidate for employment.
