National Occupational Classification for Statistics (NOC-S) 2001
Status: This standard was replaced by the 'National Occupational Classification for Statistics (NOC-S) 2006' as of March 19, 2007.
Statistics Canada's occupational classification for 2001 is called the National Occupational Classification for Statistics 2001 (NOC-S 2001) to distinguish it from the National Occupational Classification (NOC) put out by Human Resources Development Canada. (The two classifications differ only in the aggregation structure of the classification). Both provide a complete listing of all the categories under which Canadian jobs are classified and their descriptions. The first use of the NOC-S 2001 was in the 2001 Census of Population.
