MEPS uses the 4-digit Census occupation and industry coding systems developed for the Current Population Survey and the American Community Survey.
For industry coding, MEPS uses the 2007 4-digit Census industry codes. Descriptions of the 4-digit Census industry codes can be found at the following link: http://www.bls.gov/cps/cenind.pdf.
For occupation coding, MEPS uses the 2010 4-digit Census occupation codes. Descriptions of the 4-digit Census occupation codes can be found at the following link: http://www.bls.gov/cps/cenocc.pdf.
