This file contains job or alternate "lay" titles linked to occupations in the O*NET-SOC classification system. The database of titles was developed to improve keyword searches in several Department of Labor internet applications (i.e., Career InfoNet, O*NET OnLine, and O*NET Code Connector). The file contains occupational titles from existing occupational classification systems, as well as from other diverse sources.

When a title contains acronyms, abbreviations, or jargon, the short_title column contains the brief version of the full title. The sources column contains a comma delimited list of codes which indicate the source of the title information; the codes are identified below:

  • 01: Associations [i.e., National Retail Federation, Environmental Career Centers (ECC), etc.]
  • 02: Incumbent Data – O*NET Data Collection
  • 03: Occupational Code Assignment (OCA)
  • 04: SOC (i.e., SOC Index, SOC Volume 2, etc.)
  • 05: State Agencies
  • 06: US Bureau of Census (e.g., Census Index)
  • 07: USDOL – BLS (e.g., IT to SOC)
  • 08: USDOL – ETA (i.e., OPDER, OATELS, ACINET/Fu Associates, DOT, O*NET Center, etc.)
  • 09: USDOL – User input, web applications (Code Connector, OnLine, and ACINET)
