Notes: This table reports the share of variation explained by sorting across five top-level categories in the Census occupational classification system: “Management, Business, Science, and Arts”, “Service”, “Sales and Office”, “Natural Resources, Construction, and Maintenance”, “Production, Transportation, and Material Moving”. A sixth category, “Military Specific Operations”, does not appear because the CPS is a survey of the civilian non-institutional population. The shares of the five categories of occupations add up to the share of “All Occupation” in Model B and Model C in Table A13.1. Entries in bold are statistically significant at the 5% level.
