Occupation Codes: 1971*-1982 (1970 Census Classification Scheme)

*Note: The documentation provided by the Census Bureau states that 1971 uses the 1960 classification scheme. However, based on empirical evidence in the source data, IPUMS has determined that the 1970 classification scheme should be used instead.
