# occupationalCategory

A category describing the job, preferably using a term from a taxonomy such as [BLS O\*NET-SOC](http://www.onetcenter.org/taxonomy.html), [ISCO-08](https://www.ilo.org/public/english/bureau/stat/isco/isco08/) or similar, with the property repeated for each applicable value. Ideally the taxonomy should be identified, and both the textual label and formal code for the category should be provided.

Note: for historical reasons, any textual label and formal code provided as a literal may be assumed to be from O\*NET-SOC.
