Total labour force 15 years and over by occupational categories (20% sample data) Refers to the kind of work persons were doing during the reference week, as determined by their kind of work and the description of the main activities in their job. If the person did not have a job during the week (Sunday to Saturday) prior to enumeration (May 15, 2001), the data relate to the job of longest duration since January 1, 2000. Persons with two or more jobs were to report the information for the job at which they worked the most hours. </p> <p>The 2001 occupation data are classified according to the 2001 National Occupational Classification for Statistics (NOC-S 2001). This classification is composed of four levels of aggregation. There are 10 broad occupational categories containing 47 major groups that are further subdivided into 140 minor groups. At the most detailed level, there are 520 occupation unit groups. </p> <p>Occupation unit groups are formed on the basis of the education, training, or skill level required to enter the job, as well as the kind of work performed, as determined by the tasks, duties and responsibilities of the occupation. For information on the NOC-S 2001, see the National Occupational Classification for Statistics, 2001, Catalogue No. 12-583-XPE. </p> <p>The 2001 National Occupational Classification for Statistics is a revision of the 1991 Standard Occupational Classification (SOC). </p> <p>The 1991 SOC was used to classify occupation data in the 1991 and 1996 Censuses. In order to compare occupation data coded to the NOC-S 2001 with data coded to the 1991 SOC, the variable Occupation (Historical) should be used. </p> <p>The 2001 occupation data can be tabulated for a number of populations, among which the most frequently used are: </p> <p>(a) the employed; </p> <p>(b) the experienced labour force - persons who were either employed or unemployed in the reference week but who had worked since January 1, 2000;</p> <p>(c) those who have worked since January 1, 2000, regardless of whether or not they were in the labour force in the reference week. </p> <p>The remaining components of the labour force, unemployed persons who worked prior to January 1, 2000, or who never worked, are shown in the data under the category 'Occupation - Not applicable'. If the respondent did not specify an occupation or did not define it in sufficient detail to permit coding, a computer-generated NOC-S 2001 code was assigned based on other economic and demographic information given by the respondent. </p> <p>Human Resources Development Canada classifies occupation data according to the National Occupational Classification (NOC). This classification has a similar structure to that of the 2001 National Occupational Classification for Statistics (NOC-S 2001). </p> <p>The two classifications have 520 unit groups, 140 minor groups and 10 broad categories in common. However, there are 47 major groups in the NOC-S 2001 and 26 major groups in the NOC. </p> <p>Occupation data from the 2001 Census are available according to both the NOC-S 2001and the NOC structures. Occupation information is also available from the Labour Force Survey.
