Through this publication, the National Occupational Information Coordinating Committee provides technical assistance to itates to assist them in converting their existing cIps to a SOC structure. A secondary purpose of the publication is to-provide counselors with a compendium of occupational information compiled from a great variety of sources. The publication is organized in three volumes. This first volume, divided into three parts, contains the 1980 Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) codes and titles in a four-level taxonomy. Subtitled "Occupational Statements,".this volume is primarily designedfor counselor/client use. It also contains information useful to people using the SOC to classify imformation obtained from surveys, preparing information for a CIDS, or for other technical purposes. The Occupational Statementscontain a brief guidance-oriented definition for each of the834 categories contained in the 1980 SOC. In those cases where a SOC category has been assigned Dictionary of Occupational Titles (DOT) codes and titles, this additional information is included: sample work activities, hours of work, travel, and sample places of work.
