Synopsis
This manual provides a systematic classification structure to identify and categorize the entire range of occupational activity in Canada. This NOC-S, produced in partnership with Human Resources Development Canada, is Statistics Canada's official classification for collecting and disseminating occupational data. It replaces the Standard Occupational Classification 1991 as the official classification for occupations from the 2001 Census as well as other Statistics Canada surveys. The 520 detailed occupations in the manual are identified and grouped primarely according to the work usually performed, determined by the tasks, duties, and responsibilities of the occupation. The NOC-S manual features more up-to-date detail for computer-related occupations as the previous classification was developed before the advent of the Internet. The NOC-S manual has a specific aggregation for computer and information systems professionals. This minor group has five detailed occupations, two of which are concerned with Internet. In addition, there is a specific aggregation for technical occupations in computer and information systems with three detailed occupations. The NOC-S manual also has a greatly expanded list of example job titles.Book Details
