The page shows each occupation category and its corresponding OCC code. The occupations are organized into several large groupings of roughly descending socioeconomic status (e.g., professionals). In addition to this contemporary system, the IPUMS codes all census years into the 1950 occupation classification scheme, recording them in the variable OCC1950. The OCC1950 classification has corresponding income and status measures recorded in the variables SEI and OCCSCORE. The census occupation classification system changed markedly in 1980, so the correspondence of 1990 (and 1980) occupations the 1950 categories is more problematic than for earlier census years.
