Notes Relating to Quantitative Estimates of Movements of Job Titles Among Major Occupation Groups

The attached materials show the movements of job titles between major occupation groups as a result of the restructuring of the 1960 Occupation Classification System to the 1970 System and an estimate of the size of these changes in terms of the 1960 experienced civilian labor force (ECLF). These estimates of change were made during the development of that system rather than at the conclusion. Therefore, they are preliminary and will be revised at the time of publication.

A Note on Language

Census statistics date back to 1790 and reflect the growth and change of the United States. Past census reports contain some terms that today’s readers may consider obsolete and inappropriate. As part of our goal to be open and transparent with the public, we are improving access to all Census Bureau original publications and statistics, which serve as a guide to the nation's history.
