Industry and Occupation Classification System

• This search engine returns a list of industries and occupations in the Industry and Occupation site containing the sequence of characters (or pattern) you enter in the text field.
• You may search industries only, occupations only, or both industries and occupations (the default).
• Your search pattern must be at least THREE characters in length.
• Your search pattern can be any letter, number, comma, dash or single quote. It may include spaces for multi-word phrases. (All other characters are converted to underscores.)
• This search engine is NOT case sensitive.
• This is a simple pattern-matching search. It is not as sophisticated as the widely-used web search engines. Search tips used in other engines are not available in this primitive search.
