O*NET 12.0 Database
The Department of Labor's Occupational Information Network (O*NET) Database has undergone a number of revisions since its introduction in October 1998. For a history of the database updates, visit the O*NET Center's production database page. The files described on this page are currently in use in the O*NET Online and O*NET Code Connector, as well as other Department of Labor applications.
O*NET reference work released...The National Crosswalk Service Center has released a reference for finding and using O*NET information. The O*NET Occupations Reference Guide is available for viewing as a PDF File.
You can also view the NCSC PowerPoint presentation that introduces the guide.
The O*NET 10.0 database and subsequent versions incorporate a major change in the occupations included in the taxonomy. For complete information about these changes, visit the O*NET Center's Updating the O*NET-SOC Taxonomy report.
