COR226 February 8, 1977 Re: Creating major industry codes, occupational category codes, (or major occupational groups), occupational status scores and occupational prestige scores for the analysis tape. NOTE: SEE MEMO122 FOR DETAILS AND HISTORY OF 1975-77 OCCUPATIONAL CODING. Below, in chart 1, you will find a summary chart indicating the new variable names for occupations, industry and class of worker, as well as the new names for the recoded variables. A dash means either that the original information was not ascertained and/or the new variable will not be constructed. The asterisks will be explained in section II.

SEE COR569 FOR CORRECTED VERSION OF MAJOR INDUSTRY. II. Occupational Category Codes. Occupations will be reclassified in the 17 occupational categories through the following procedures. New Original Original Original* Title Code Occ Code Ind Code Cl of Wr 01 001-196 -- SE, WP Professional, technical & kindred, self-employed and without pay 02 001-196 SAL, NA Professional, technical & kindred, salaried & NA 03 201-246 -- SAL, NA Managers, officials & proprietors, salaried & NA 04 201-246 -- SE, WP Managers, officials & proprietors, self-employed and without pay 05 260-296 017-599 -- Sales workers, not retail trade 707-997,999 06 260-296 607-699 -- Sales workers, retail trade 07 301-396 -- -- Clerical & kindred workers 08 401-586 107-398 -- Craftsmen, foremen & kindred workers, manufacturing 09 401-586 067-077 -- Crafts, construction 10 401-586 017-057 -- Crafts, all other and NA 407-997,999 11 601-726 107-398 -- Operatives, manufacturing 12 601-726 017-077 -- Operatives, all other and NA 407-997,999 13 901-965,976 -- -- Service and private household 980-986 14 740-796 107-398 -- Laborers, manufacturing 15 740-796 017-077 -- Laborers, all other and NA 407-997,999 16 801-806 -- -- Farmers and farm managers 17 821-846 -- -- farm laborers and foremen 88 998,993-996 998,991-996 8 or 6 INAP 99 997 or 999 -- -- DK, NA or nonrespondents**, or 970-974 military or 998 for OCSPHH only * SE=3 or 4 on cl of wr code SA=1 or 2 on cl of wr code WP=5 on cl of wr code NA=7 or 9 on cl of wr code ** No one should be coded 99 on this variable solely because of a 7 or 9 on class of worker. When class of worker is used to discriminate between groups, DK & NA's are incorporated as possibilities (e.g., codes 1-4). Now, it is obvious that to make these occupational category codes you need occupation, industry and class of worker. There are 4 jobs for which you don't have the required information. For these 4 jobs, occupations shall be coded into "Major Occupation Groups" (from the 1970 census) since these recodes require only occupational information. The 4 jobs are R's occupation aspiration during high school (OCZ), R's preferred job 10 years from now (OCR10), R's occupational aspiration for selected child (OCASSK), and R's occupational expectation for selected child (OCEXSK). Their respective "major occupational group" names are OCMZ, OCMR10, OCMASK, OCMXSK. The asterisk in Chart I indicates that these are major occupational groups. The major occupation groups for these 4 variables will be formed in the following fashion. Old Occupation Code Code Title 01 001-196 Professional, technical and kindred workers 02 201-246 Managers & Administrators, except farm 03 260-296 Sales workers 04 301-396 Clerical & kindred workers 05 401-586 Craftsmen and kindred workers 06 601-696 Operatives, except transport 07 701-726 Transport equipment operatives 08 740-796 Laborers, except farm 09 801-806 Farmers and farm managers 10 821-846 Farm laborers and Farm foremen 11 901-965,976 Service workers, except private household 12 980-986 Private household workers 88 998, 993-996 INAP 99 997 or 999 or DK, NA and nonrespondents, or in military 970-974 III. Occupational Status and Prestige Scores To ascertain the occupational status and prestige scores used here, only the three digit detailed occupational code is required. We used the prestige and status scores from Featherman, Sobel and Dickens (see occupation coding handbook). These scores are transformations of the earlier scores for 1960 or 1964-65, using the male distributions in Technical Paper 26. (These scores are on DE381, stored in 8102 Social Science, 7 track, 80 characters, unblocked, col. 1-3=occupation, col. 5- 7=status score, col. 9-11=prestige score.) NOTE: Military occupation codes(970-974) were coded 999 for status and prestige scores. The aspiration question (OCZ, OCR10, OCASSK, OCEXSK) had some occupations coded in the allocation categories. These were assigned status and prestige scores according to Featherman, Jones, and Hauser's "Assumptions of Social Mobility Research in the U.S.: The Case of Occupational Status" (Reprint 183-p.341): Occupation Status Score (Duncan) Prestige Score (Siegel) 196 750 600 246 570 500 296 490 340 396 450 390 586 310 390 696 180 290 796 070 180 806 140 410 846 090 190 976 170 250 Occupation codes of 993-996 were scored as inaps (998 for prestige and status scores).
