Errors in reports of occupation
Article Abstract:
Respondents, interviewers and the coding process can lead to errors in occupational surveys. Research on one occupational survey revealed that 13% of the respondents were unable to describe their occupations in a way that allowed coders to recognize the jobs as the same ones described in corporate records. Nearly 50% of the occupational codes did not accurately reflect the employees' true occupations.
