Current job: SOC 2020

Datafile

Index terms

Variable note:

Standard Occupational Classification 2020 (SOC2020) of current job. Full 4-digit version for Special Licence release (SN6931) only. Current job refers to being in paid employment during the last week, even if the respondent was away from work in that week. For detailed information on the classification, see SOC 2020.

Please note that there were important changes to the employment module in wave 13. For the first time, we asked respondents about multiple jobs, which required further changes to how we asked about occupations. In wave 13 ALL respondents in paid employment were asked the jbsoc question(s), not just the respondents reporting that the description of their job(s) provided previously was no longer accurate (in earlier waves this was checked through the jbsoc00chk question, but jbsoc00chk was not asked in wave 13). These full job(s) descriptions provided in wave 13 were then coded into Standard Occupational Classification. This resulted in a much larger number of occupation changes between waves 12 and 13 than we had observed for any earlier pairs of subsequent waves. We are currently investigating the scale of the problem and possible adjustments that could rectify the issue.
