Abstract
Peter B. Meyer and Anastasiya M. Osborne (2005) "Proposed
Category System for 1960-2000 Census Occupations"
This paper proposes a detailed, consistent category system for occupations
in the Census of Population data from 1960 to 2000. Most of the categories are
based on the 1990 Census occupation definitions. We analyze employment levels,
average earnings levels, and earnings variance in our occupation categories
over time, compare these to similar trends for occupations defined in the
occ1950 IPUMS classification, and test both classifications for consistency
over time.
