The table lists all 15 occupations with this code.

Median wage is the employee annual median from BLS OES; it excludes self-employed workers and owners. “Not published” means BLS does not publish a median for that occupation — it is not zero.

“—” means O*NET does not publish a typical education level for that occupation: 1 of the 15 rows on this page show “—”, and in O*NET Database 31.0 this field does not cover every occupation. Where a level is given, it is the most common category in O*NET's education data, translated.

Wages and employment come from BLS OES, which publishes them by 6-digit SOC occupation. Several O*NET occupations can sit under one SOC code and share the same estimates — that is why some rows show identical wages and employment.

Of the 15 rows on this page, 1 are not a wage BLS publishes for that occupation itself: 0 use the number for the successor SOC code that absorbed the occupation, and 1 use the broader group BLS reports them under. The remaining rows are the median BLS publishes at the occupation's own 6-digit SOC level.

What these occupations mean

Every O*NET occupation carries an interest profile: six shares, one per RIASEC direction. O*NET turns that profile into the occupation's Interest High-Point (IH) code with the variable high-point rule: take the directions whose share is above .17, highest first, up to three (Rounds et al., 1999; Step 3 of the 2023 O*NET report “Using Machine Learning to Develop Occupational Interest Profiles and High-Point Codes”). That is why a code can have one, two or three letters. This page reports the codes as O*NET published them — the list describes these occupations, not you.

Your own code is generated by this product from your questionnaire scores, with a different rule: the three highest directions, with ties broken in a fixed order. The two sides also measure different things — the questionnaire asks what you like doing, while an occupation profile measures how much of that interest content the work involves. No study equates the two.
