Description
Definition
OC1HIRNO classifies a person's occupation, and describes the socio-economic level of the occupation.
It classifies occupations as ranging from landowners and capitalists, at the top; through professionals, office functionaries, and those running their own businesses; to craft workers and work leaders; to day laborers and apprentices; and finally to unemployed and/or unproductive individuals at the bottom.
Information on the industrial sector a person worked in is contained in the variable OC1TRDNO.
If a second occupation was stated, this may be classified as well in the variables OC2HIRNO and OC2TRDNO.
