Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations (ANZSCO) to O*NET-SOC Taxonomy Concordance
	
	

		


	
	

		
Purpose
	
	

		
The Labour Market Insights (LMI) website provides detailed information for 4-digit and 6-digit ANZSCO Occupations. 
	
	

		
This concordance is used to populate selected content on the LMI website.
	
	

		


	
	

		
Basis of the concordance
	
	

		
This is an 'Occupation of best fit' concordance. 
	
	

		
The concordance maps ANZSCO occupations to the most similar occupation in the O*NET-SOC taxonomy in terms of tasks, skills and abilities. 
	
	

		
ANZSCO occupation titles, descriptions and main tasks were reviewed against O*NET-SOC occupations to identify the occupation of best fit.
	
	

		
Only occupations displayed on our website were considered when developing the concordance.
	
	

		
The concordance may be reviewed and adjusted over time.
	
	

		


	
	

		
 CAUTION: It is the responsibility of the user to determine if the concordance is fit for purpose (in part or in full) for their use case.
	
	

		


	
	

		
There are structural and conceptual differences between the ANZSCO classification system and the O*NET-SOC 2010 Taxonomy. 
	
	

		
There are also differences between occupations in the US and Australian labour markets. 
	
	

		
As such, it is not always possible to identify a single O*NET-SOC occupation that closely matches an ANZSCO occupation.
	
	

		
* In some instances, an ANZSCO occupation might logically fit with multiple O*NET-SOC occupations.
	
	

		
* In some instances, an O*NET-SOC occupation might logically fit with multiple ANZSCO occupations.
	
	

		
* There might be practical or conceptual differences between ANZSCO and O*NET-SOC occupations identified in the concordance.
