OCS Databases

Databases

Beginning with the NCS wage bulletins published in September 2006, the 2002 Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) system replaced the 1990 Census of Population classification system. The Create Customized Table applications have not been updated yet to include any of the surveys published using the SOC system. The new SOC based applications are being developed and the new database should be available later this year. Data for recent bulletins can be accessed at the following site http://www.bls.gov/ncs/ocs/compub.htm.
