Structure and Description:

Column	Type	Column Content
O*NET-SOC Code	Character(10)	ONET-SOC Code (see Occupation Data)*
Title	Character Varying(150)	ONET-SOC Title (see Occupation Data)*
Task ID	Integer(8)	Identifies each task
Task	Character Varying(1000)	Task statement associated with an occupation
Task Type	Character Varying(12)	“Core” or “Supplemental”
Incumbents Responding	Integer(4)	Number of incumbents providing task information
Date	Character(7)	Date when data was updated
Domain Source	Character Varying(30)	Source of the data

This file contains the tasks associated with each O*NET-SOC occupation.

The “Task Type” column identifies two categories of tasks:

Core — tasks that are critical to the occupation. The criteria for these tasks are (a) relevance ≥ 67% and (b) a mean importance rating of ≥ 3.0.
Supplemental — tasks that are less relevant and/or important to the occupation. Two sets of tasks are included in this category: (a) tasks rated ≥ 67% on relevance but < 3.0 on importance, and (b) tasks rated < 67% on relevance, regardless of mean importance.

The file is displayed in 8 tab delimited fields with the columns named O*NET-SOC Code, Title, Task ID, Task, Task Type, Incumbents Responding, Date, and Domain Source. The 8 fields are represented by one row. There are a total of 19,281 rows of data in this file.
