The Index of the National Occupational Classification (NOC) is an
alphabetical listing of approximately 25,000 occupational titles.


Relationship Between the NOC and the Standard Occupational Classification
(SOC) 1991 SOC91 is used by Statistics Canada to report on occupational
data obtained from the Census and other surveys. The linked document
details the similarities and dissimilarities of the SOC to the NOC.

The NOC forms the basis of the Standard Occupational Classification (SOC)
1991 which is used by Statistics Canada to report data on occupations from
the Census and other surveys.

Small differences exist between the two classifications at the unit group
level. These occur in areas where Employment and Immigration Canada
recognizes occupational distinctions that Statistics Canada could not
implement due to the nature of Census responses.

National Occupational Classification: Occupational Descriptions

"Formal definitions of more than 500 occupations guide the collection and
analysis of data. This classification system ensures that labour market
statistics are collected and assembled in a standard way that is
meaningful to users. And they allow technical users, such as economists
and business analysts, to understand exactly what the statistics mean."
