Task Statements
| Purpose: | Provide a mapping of O*NET-SOC codes (occupations) to tasks associated with the occupation. |
Structure and Description:
| Column | Type | Column Content |
|---|
| O*NET-SOC Code | Character(10) | O*NET-SOC Code (see Occupation Data) |
| Title | Character Varying(150) | O*NET-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 18,797 rows of data in this file.
