Code of an occupation group in the International Standard Classification of Occupations 2008 (ISCO-08) of the International Labour Organization. There are four levels: major group (one digit), sub-major group (two digits), minor group (three digits) and unit group (four digits), and each code begins with the code of the group above it. Major group 0 is the armed forces. ESCO occupations (esco_occupation) sit under ISCO-08 unit groups; the US SOC (ensoc) is a separate national classification.
