Crosswalk Information

The Employment and Training Administration(ETA), through its suite of Internet applications called Career OneStop, delivers a variety of economic, labor market, educational and training information. These data use a variety of classification systems. Those systems must frequently be made to relate to one another, through specialized computer files called "crosswalks." ETA has identified a number of standardized crosswalk files used in the career kit and made those resources available through the National Crosswalk Service Center. This page contains information about those crosswalks and links that allow you access to the files..

• Classifications:
  • NAICS -- North American Industry Classification System
  • O*NET -- O*NET 3.1/4.0
  • SOC -- Standard Occupational Classification
• NOTE: There are two authoritative sources of information that relates industries to occupations. Both are produced by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and neither makes use of NAICS industry classification. The first source is the Occupational Employment Statistics (OES) program. The OES program surveys firms by industry (Standard Industrial Classification or SIC) about employment by occupations. The occupations used are based on the SOC. View the results here.
  
  The second BLS source of this information is the employment projections program. Occupational projections combine OES data with data from other sources to provide employment estimates by industry and occupation. You can view occupational employment estimates by industry here.
