1.08 standard occupational classification table

Despite the recent revision in 2000, an analysis of the SOC provides only a partial coverage of the Cultural Sector. The classification is of limited use for the purposes of measuring employment in the Cultural Sector, and should largely be avoided except for particular labour market studies, mainly those relating to skills.

For further information on the use of SOC view standard occupational classifications (section 1.06).
