One of 45 occupations used in deriving socioeconomic index from pred- ictors of NORC Prestige ratings. b. One of 16 occupations poorly or partially matched to NORC titles. c. Occupation omitted from statistical analysis of 425 detailed occup- ation, of specific, titles listed below it. d. Occupation omitted from statistical analysis of 425 detailed occupa- tions, because census data are based on, fewer then 100 sample cases (corresponding to an estimated population of fewer than 3,000 males). e. Occupation omitted from statistical analysis. The census data do not pertain to current members of the armed forces, but to currently unemployed civilians who lost occupational experience was in the armed forces. The data for this occupation do not, therefore, describes soldiers, sailors, and related occupations. f. The computed value of he socioeconomic index far this occupation was -3. To avoid the inconvenience of having one index value with a neg- ative sign, this index was arbitrarily changed to zero, which remains the lowest value in the table.
