OEWS Occupation Autocoder
Description
The input is state-submitted response files that include occupation title and sometimes job description of the surveyed units. The autocoder reads the job title and assigns up to two 6-digit Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) codes along with their probabilities as recommendations for human coders. Codes above a certain threshold are appended to the submitted response file and sent back to states to assist them with their SOC code assignment.
