Data ValueFloat(5,2)Rating associated with the O*NET-SOC occupation

This file contains the Content Model Work Activity data associated with each O*NET-SOC occupation. It is displayed in 15 tab delimited fields and identified using the column names provided above. Item rating level metadata is provided in columns named N, Standard Error, Lower CI Bound, Upper CI Bound, Recommend Suppress, Not Relevant, Date, and Domain Source. Refer to Appendix 2, Item Rating Level Statistics - Incumbent for additional information on these items. The 15 fields are represented by one row. There are a total of 78,228 rows of data in this file.
